SELECTION FOR WEANING WEIGHT AND POSTWEANING GAIN IN HEREFORD CATTLE .1. POPULATION-STRUCTURE AND SELECTION APPLIED

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 60(5), 1133–1141.

By: R. Irgang n, E. Dillard n, M. Tess n & O. Robison n

MeSH headings : Animals; Body Weight; Breeding; Cattle / genetics; Cattle / physiology; Female; Inbreeding; Male; Selection, Genetic; Weaning
TL;DR: Single trait selection was practiced in three lines of Hereford cattle derived from a common base population for increased weaning weight in the WW line, for postweaning gain in the PG line (PGL) and at random in the control line (CTL). (via Semantic Scholar)

SELECTION FOR WEANING WEIGHT AND POSTWEANING GAIN IN HEREFORD CATTLE .2. RESPONSE TO SELECTION

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 60(5), 1142–1155.

By: R. Irgang n, E. Dillard n, M. Tess n & O. Robison n

MeSH headings : Animals; Body Weight; Cattle / genetics; Cattle / physiology; Female; Inbreeding; Male; Models, Genetic; Phenotype; Selection, Genetic; Time Factors; Weaning
TL;DR: Results of this study indicate that selection for PG improved both WW and PG faster than selection for WW. (via Semantic Scholar)

SELECTION FOR WEANING WEIGHT AND POSTWEANING GAIN IN HEREFORD CATTLE .3. CORRELATED RESPONSES TO SELECTION IN MILK-YIELD, PREWEANING AND POSTWEANING TRAITS

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 60(5), 1156–1164.

By: R. Irgang n, E. Dillard n, M. Tess n & O. Robison n

MeSH headings : Adipose Tissue; Animal Feed; Animals; Body Weight; Cattle / genetics; Cattle / physiology; Energy Metabolism; Female; Lactation; Male; Milk / metabolism; Regression Analysis; Selection, Genetic; Time Factors; Weaning
TL;DR: Correlated responses to selection indicated that predicted milk yield in cows and preweaning daily gain and yearling weight in bulls and heifers were genetically improved in both WWL and PGL. (via Semantic Scholar)
