Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate heritability for various growth and reproductive traits in snails (Cornu aspersum maximum) from 60 to 150 days old using Bayesian analysis.
- The heritability estimates for weight gain during different age periods showed values ranging from 0.32 to 0.60, with environmental factors primarily affecting pre-slaughter body weight.
- The study found significant genetic correlations between weight gain periods, suggesting that selecting for weight gain in earlier stages (WG1) could improve future gains in the population.
