Genetic Parameters of Methane Emission, Feed Efficiency, Feeding Behaviour, and Growth Traits in Beef Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 4, Page 496-507, July 2026.
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.

Contribution of Fat Adjustment to Residual Feed Intake Estimation in Beef Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 4, Page 602-612, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Including fat thickness as a covariate in the regression model used to calculate residual feed intake (RFI) could help preserve carcass quality traits, such as marbling, flavour and juiciness, by accounting for variation in fat deposition.

Quantitative trait locus affecting birth weight on bovine chromosome 5 in a F2 Gyr x Holstein population

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
Segregation between a genetic marker and a locus influencing a quantitative trait in a well delineated population is the basis for success in mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL). To detect bovine chromosome 5 (BTA5) birth weight QTL we genotyped 294 F2

Influence of MC1R Gene Variants on Coat Color of Indicine Cattle Breeds

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Indicine cattle display a broad range of coat colors, representing a relevant and breed‐defining trait required for registration in breeder association. Among the genes involved in pigmentation, MC1R stands out for modulating the synthesis of melanin‐related proteins and remains poorly explored in indicine cattle breeds. Therefore, we aimed to

Targeting Myostatin for Sustainable Meat Production: Insights From Multiple Species

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Myostatin gene (MSTN), a TGF‐β superfamily member, negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth, positioning it as a prime genetic target for enhancing livestock meat production. This review synthesizes evidence from 1979 to 2025 on MSTN mutations across cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, and rabbits, emphasising impacts on yield, quality ...

Algunos factores relacionados con la dinámica folicular en bos indicus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
El desarrollo folicular bovino durante un ciclo estral normal, se caracteriza por un crecimiento en forma de ondas con presencia de dos a cinco cohortes foliculares por ciclo, de las cuales solo un folículo se torna ovulatorio.

Integrative Genomics Identifies Candidate Genes Underlying Trypanotolerance in Hybrid African Cattle

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrative genomics combines data from different omics sources to link genotypes and phenotypes with the aim of unravelling biological networks and pathways that undergird complex traits, particularly with respect to disease. In this respect, integrative genomics, leveraging population and functional genomic data, can be employed to ...

Impact of Astaxanthin Concentration in Extender on Sperm Kinetics and Lipid Peroxidation After Cryopreservation in Beef Bulls

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cellular damage caused by changes in temperature and osmolarity during cryopreservation primarily results in excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These damages compromise the plasma membrane and reduce sperm fertility. Antioxidants help mitigate these effects.
