Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study evaluated the influence of variance component (VC) estimates, obtained from different models and two relationship matrices, pedigree‐based (BLUP) and genomic information‐based (ssGBLUP), on genomic predictions of carcass traits in Montana composite cattle.

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change has intensified the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation. Genetic selection has emerged as a promising mitigation strategy; however, studies on Bos taurus indicus , especially Nellore cattle, remain limited.

Association of Calpastatin (CAST) Gene with Growth Traits and Carcass Characteristics in Bali Cattle [PDF]
, 2015 Calpastatin (CAST) gene is well known as an inhibitor of muscle protein degradation and relates to muscle growth and meat tenderness. The objective of this study was to determine the association of CAST gene with growth traits and carcass characteristics

The genomes and history of domestic animals [PDF]
, 2016 This paper reviews how mammalian genomes are utilized in modern genetics for the detection of genes and polymorphisms (mutations) within domesticated animal (mostly livestock) genomes that are related to traits of economic importance to humans.

Drivers of Hirola Antelope Diet Selection in Natural and Managed Habitat in Eastern Kenya
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Hirola (Beatragus hunteri) populations in eastern Kenya consumed 17 forage species, favoring the grass Chloris virgata and the forbs Commelina benghalensis and C. diffusa. Nutrient analyses showed that natural habitats offered higher phosphorus, magnesium, and digestibility, whereas managed sites provided more sodium, potassium, and crude protein, with

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.These results show that GWAS can be a useful tool for recognising novel loci and unravelling the genetic basis of complex economic traits. Sussex cattle exhibited candidate genes (RAB31, BIRC5, TEX22, CFAP100 and LOC617705) as potential candidate genes for linear body measurement traits, which could serve as significant marker information for genome ...

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 13-23, January 2026.ABSTRACT Missing pedigrees are a common problem in most populations. Animals with unknown ancestors are usually treated as founders; however, this can underestimate inbreeding, not properly account for different base populations, and bias breeding values.
