Asher, G. W. (2004) Reproductive performance of pubertal red deer (Cervus elaphus) hinds: Effects of genetic introgression of wapiti subspecies on pregnancy rates at 18 months of age.
Astudy to investigate the possible effect of Wapiti introgression on puberty of red deer hinds. The aims were to assist with improved reproductive performance by:
(1) assessing levels of variation of physical features within groups of yearling hinds and determining how this variation related to the proportion of Wapiti genes individual hinds carried; and
(2) determining the effects of different levels of Wapiti genes on the pregnancy rate of yearling hinds at 18 months of age, particularly in relation to liveweight effects on performance
