The second step (puberty and breeding) consisted of energy restriction for 4 mo followed by realimentation for 3 mo.
For all simulated breeding methods, each cycle of breeding consisted of three steps: (1) crossing of selected parents and inbred progeny generation, (2) phenotyping and (3) data analysis and selection criterion estimation.
The African species' breeding habitat consists of forested rivers with islands with sandy shores for breeding.
In such birds as the anis, the effective breeding group consists of several females and males.
The breeding display consists of a short chase of the female by the male.
As of 2013, TLC estimates that the widely dispersed breeding population consists of between 200 and 250 ponies.
10, 11 Its breeding habitat consists of stagnant pools from man-made cisterns to sewers and discarded tires.
This example is inspired by a pig nucleus breeding scheme and consists of five generations in which all animals have recorded phenotypes.
The diploid breeding lines consist of clones used by breeders for breeding or mapping purposes.
The overall breeding scheme consisted of a recurrent backcrossing procedure including one crossing, three generations of backcrossing and four generations of self-fertilization, combined with MAS in each generation (Fig. 4).
