Selection in guinea pigs: I. Estimation of phenotypic and genetic parameters for litter size and body weight get access arrow
Data on 202 sires, 718 dams and 3,192 progeny from a selection experiment were used to estimate phenotypic and genetic parameters for litter size and body weight in guinea pigs. Effects of sex and parity were estimated. Heritability estimates were obtained from offspring-parent regression and from i...
