Spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and pathogenic leptospires in feral pigs across New South Wales

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are important reservoirs for zoonotic and livestock pathogens in Australia, but robust information on the spatial distribution of pathogens in pig populations remains limited. We analysed serological data from a systematic, state‐wide surveillance program to investigate spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and ...

Genetic associations between reproductive and linear-type traits of Holstein cows in Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia
This study aimed to estimate heritability, genetic, and residual correlations between reproductive traits such as age at first calving, calving interval, dry period, and first service period and linear type traits measured in Holstein cows born between ...

Tolerance for jaguars among ranching communities in the Colombian Llanos

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livestock protection measures are often implemented with the desired outcome of reducing retaliatory killings. We studied drivers of retaliatory killings in four communities in the Colombian Llanos and evaluated whether an electric fencing intervention would improve tolerance for jaguars.

Is Gillnet Prey Subsidizing Ontogenetic Diet Shifts and Early Weaning in Common Coastal Bottlenose Dolphins From the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artisanal gillnet fisheries can concentrate prey and provide incidental food subsidies to marine predators, but their effects on early‐life foraging behavior and demography remain poorly resolved. The Alvarado bottlenose dolphin population that lives off the coast of Veracruz, Mexico, is well known for having chronic, frequent, and recurring ...

Population Differentiation and Polygenic Selection in the Finnish Ayrshire Cows Selected on Genomic Information

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

Genetic Associations of Functional Longevity With Sexual Precocity and Growth Traits in Nellore Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Functional longevity (FL) is a complex trait that integrates many attributes directly contributing to the successful retention and productivity of a cow within the herd. Consequently, improving FL in beef cattle increases herd profitability. This study aimed to estimate the genetic associations between two alternative FL definitions and traits
