Five 60-pair lines of mice were selected for seven generations for the following criteria: number born alive (LSO), random selection of litters (LC), number born alive divided by the weight of the dam at 9 weeks (LSO/DWT), total litter weight weaned divided by the weight of the dam at 9 weeks (LWT/D

A random-bred strain (Q) was established and divided into six replicates. Each replicate was divergently selected for 6-week weight (for over 30 generations) and each had an unselected control. We have investigated the H-2 haplotype of individual mice of the 18 selected Q strains to determine whethe
Spot size in descendants from the Goodale white-spotted stock of mice responded to selection for increased spot size. The realized heritability estimate was 0.52. However, no correlated response of reproduction to spot size selection was found in the present study, nor was there any correlated respo
Body composition was studied in three lines of mice, one selected for high (H) and one for low (L) 8 week weight, and one maintained as an unselected control (C). After 25 generations 8 week weights were 41.2g, 30.6 g and 20.5g for the H, C and L lines. Mice were sampled from the lines and analysed
Mice selected for high (H6) and low (L6) 6-week body weight and a randombred control population (C1) were characterized for rate, composition and efficiency of growth. Individual body weights were obtained from birth to 8 weeks of age on 682 mice representative of the three lines. Individual whole c
