Q

Jin-Soo Kim used a gene-editing technology called a TALEN, which consists of a DNA-cutting enzyme attached to a DNA-binding binding protein protein. Theprotein guides the cutting
enzyme to a specific gene
inside cells, in this case in “Myostatin”, rendering the gene dysfunctional

Q

These performance traits are ranked “medium” in the level of heritability

A

Post-weaning rate at growth, Feed efficiency

50
Q

These performance traits are ranked “high” in the level of heritability

A

Length of body, Length of legs, Loin eye areas, Ham weight, Shoulder wt, Fat cuts, Lean cut

51
Q

vertebrae, Litter size at weaning, Litter size at birth, Litter wt at weaning

52
Q

Breeding of 2 or more different
breeds of animals

A

Cross breeding

53
Q

Goals of cross-breeding

A

a) to obtain hybrid vigor or heterosis which is the
superiority exhibited by the crossbred
individuals over the average of the parental
breeds; and
b) to bring together the desirable characteristics
of the parental breeds.

54
Q

Breeding of closely-related animals. This is
done to purify the blood line of the animals animals since the similarity of the animals within the group is increased. Continuous inbreeding
(without proper selection) is not
recommendable due to its negative effect on
the production performance of the animal.

A

Inbreeding

55
Q

Mating between animals, which
are closely related to each other that the averagerelationship between all individuals in the population.

A

Purebreeding

56
Q

Mating between full siblings
or between parents and progeny.

A

Close inbreeding

57
Q

The F1 females are back crossed
to one of the parental populations. For example, A x B females are mated with A or B to produce an offspring AB x A or AB x B. This method takes full advantage of heterosis in the F1 females and half of the potential heterosis in the offspring.

A

Back crossing

58
Q

Mild form of inbreeding. Mating
of cousins, grandparent to grand offspring or half brother to half sister.

A

Linebreeding

59
Q

-mating of animals of different
families within the same breed that are not closely related. (for at least the first 4-6 generation)

A

Out crossing

60
Q

different populations can be crossed with each other to produce an F1 generation which is mainly used for production purposes purposes and not for breeding.

A

Single two-way crosses-2

61
Q

This system relies on the crossing of
2 breeds A and B to produce a female excelling
in maternal performance in a particular
environment and the use of a 3rd environment and the use of a 3 breed to rd breed to produced the ideal animal for the market products

A

3 way cross

62
Q

Populations A and B are first crossed
with each other, and so are C and D to obtain the F1 generation A x B and C x D. These are then crossed together to produce the double hybrid AB x CD.

A

4 way cross

63
Q

The F1 females are back crossed to one of the parental populations. For example, A x B
females are mated with A or B to produce an
offspring AB x A or AB x B. This method takes full
advantage of heterosis in the F1 females and half of the potential heterosis in the offspring.

Q

The period between weaning and the next service. After weaning, a sow is expected to come into heat within 3 to 10 days.

A

Dry period

69
Q

Sow pregnancy period

A

114 day (109-120 days) 3 mo 3 w and 3 days

70
Q

Lactation period

A

28 to 42 days, Common
practice is 30 days.

71
Q

Heat

A

3 weeks / 21 days, can range from 16-25

72
Q

Estrous/Heat cycle

A

18-21 days

73
Q

A period of sexual receptivity and ovulation during which the female will accept the male and is capable of conceiving (6-8 months)

A

Estrus

74
Q

Occurs at about 6 months of age and about 100-120 kg in gilts

A

Pubertal Estrus

75
Q

Signs of heat/Estrus

A

Reddish pink, slightly
swollen vulva
Slight mucous discharges
Pricked ears or ears pop up
Glazed eyes
 Tail upright and flicking up
and down
 Other gilts attempt to ride
her and becomes immobile
 Actively seeks and stands
still in the presence of the
boar or
Nervous (biting at bars, standing when other sows
are lying down)
 Roaring
 Off feed or reduced feed intake
 Positive standing response to riding on the back and
haunch pressure tests
 Standing reflex

76
Q

Used in part to spread pheromones
near gilts and sows

A

Teaser boars

77
Q

Apply pressure to the back and flanks of the female pig; do this at the same time as renewed boar presence. Receptive females will stand rigid and ears often prick up. The ultimate sign that confirms a gilt or sow is in estrus is immobilization or “standing” in response to back-pressure from a boar, another gilt or sow, or from a person

A

Haunch pressure test and Back-pressure

78
Q

An artificial insemination technician carries with him a squirt bottle filled with semen from an old ejaculate or seminal fluid from a new ejaculate. This is squeezed on the snout of the gilt or sow in heat

A

Semen on Snout Test

79
Q

Insemination or service must take place between _________?

A

0-24 hrs before ovulation

80
Q

If a sow fails to conceive after service, she is
expected to repeat or to come into heat _______
after the unsuccessful service.

A

3 weeks
