L. Panicke et al., Variation acid suitability of physiological indicators of the glucose tolerance test for the indirectly evaluation of young bulls, ARCH TIER, 44(4), 2001, pp. 381-394
The parameters of glucose tolerance test are suitable for an additional rec
ommendation for the valuation of the breeding bulls before the start of tes
t could be given. This show the variation, the genetic determination and th
e mean correlations between physiological indicator and estimated breeding
value by 0.40 to 0.50. The offspring's breeding value is suitable equivalen
t examined physiological indicators. These relationships are affected by fa
ctors such as experimental conditions, age and nutritional state of animals
.
