Selectio for nursing ability and adult weight in mice

Three selection treatments were conducted for 12 generations in each of two base populations (P and Q): (1) increased nursing ability of the mother, (2) increased adult body weight of the offspring, and (3) performance combining the two traits into a selection index. Lines CP and CQ were maintained as unselected controls in each population. Regression coefficients of mean performance (in grams) on generations were calculated some lines presented genetic gains. Heritabilities and genetic correlations are given
