Research on the genetic rules of secondary traits of different staple types in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats

Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats are excellent genetic resources in China. Cashmere yield/body weight (g/kg), staple diameter (It is the cross-sectional diameter of coarse wool)/staple length (μm/cm), and fiber diameter (It is the cross-sectional diameter of fluff)/fiber length(μm/cm) were studied as s...

description Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats are excellent genetic resources in China. Cashmere yield/body weight (g/kg), staple diameter (It is the cross-sectional diameter of coarse wool)/staple length (μm/cm), and fiber diameter (It is the cross-sectional diameter of fluff)/fiber length(μm/cm) were studied as secondary traits. Using the CORR and REG programs of SAS9.2, it was found that there is a significant phenotypic correlation and regression between the three secondary traits. The variance components analysis and genetic parameters estimation using the AIREML of the WOMBAT software. The results showed that all secondary traits have moderate heritability (0.17–0.30), and the heritability of each secondary trait of the long staple type is higher than other types. The genetic correlation of each secondary trait is between −0.39 and 0.27, and the genetic correlation of each secondary trait increases with the increase of staple length. Therefore, selection staple length can be to indirect selection of secondary traits.
