Color inheritance and inbreeding in American mink.
(2023-08-18)The intensive phenotypic selection commonly practiced in mink farms that is mostly color driven, might lead to the selection and mating of genetically similar individuals resulting in reduction of fitness traits. In this ... -
Genomic analyses for feed efficiency traits in American mink
(2023-12-22)Feed efficiency is a key factor in the economic outcomes of mink production systems, as the cost of feed accounts for the largest portion of their variable expenses. So far, the Canadian mink industry has relied solely on ... -
Genomic Studies of Reproductive Performance and Fur Quality Traits in American Mink
(2024-03-28)This thesis aimed to enhance reproductive performance and pelt quality traits in American mink (Neogale vison) using genomics approaches. Chapter 3 involved estimation of genetic and phenotypic parameters for pelt quality ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF SELECTION SIGNATURES FOR RESPONSE TO ALEUTIAN MINK DISEASE VIRUS INFECTION USING WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCE DATA
(2022-08-24)Aleutian disease (AD) has been a devastating disease in the mink industry, while our knowledge about the genetic background of American mink (Neovison vison) response against Aleutian mink disease virus (ADMV) is limited. ... -
LOCALIZING GENETIC ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE IN MINK USING A SEQUENCE-BASED SNP PANEL
(2014-12-15)Reproductive performance is a multifactorial trait which is affected by genetic, physiological and environmental factors. This study aimed at identification of genetic elements associated with fertility in mink females ...
