Genetic parameters for social effects on survival in cannibalistic layers: Combining survival analysis and a linear animal model [PDF]
Background Mortality due to cannibalism in laying hens is a difficult trait to improve genetically, because censoring is high (animals still alive at the end of the testing period) and it may depend on both the individual itself and the behaviour of its ...

The Genetics of Deafness in Domestic Animals [PDF]
Although deafness can be acquired throughout an animal's life from a variety of causes, hereditary deafness, especially congenital hereditary deafness, is a significant problem in several species. Extensive reviews exist of the genetics of deafness in humans and mice, but not for deafness in domestic animals.

Genetic Code Expansion in Animals [PDF]
Expanding the genetic code to enable the incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins in biological systems provides a powerful tool for studying protein structure and function. While this technology has been mostly developed and applied in bacterial and mammalian cells, it recently expanded into animals, including worms, fruit flies, zebrafish,

Evaluation of Chute Exit, Novelty and Human Approach Tests in Mertolenga Beef Cattle
Livestock behavior and welfare are increasingly recognized to be related, not only to the animals’ handling, but also with productivity. The present work was carried out at the Mertolenga Breed Testing Center and its objective was to evaluate the ...

Contribution of genetics to the study of animal personalities: a review of case studies [PDF]
The need for evolutionary studies on quantitative traits that integrate genetics is increasing. Studies on consistent individual differences in behavioural traits provide a good opportunity to do controlled experiments on the genetic mechanisms ...
