Impact of Model Parameterisation and Variance Component Estimates on Genomic Predictions of Carcass Traits in Montana Composite Cattle

open access: yesJournal 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.

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Estrous characterization in cross-bred heifers (Bos taurus indicus x Bos taurus taurus) by radiotelemetry

open access: yes, 2006
O jerked beef é oficialmente descrito como carne bovina salgada, curada e dessecada. Os parâmetros físico-químicos utilizados na determinação do seu padrão oficial de identidade e qualidade são a atividade de água e os teores de umidade, matéria mineral (ou cinzas) e nitrito residual.

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

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
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.

The psychiatric fix

open access: yesMedical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article draws on four years of ethnographic fieldwork in Los Angeles’ (LA) jail mental health facility to describe the interrelated crises of rising numbers of people declared incompetent to stand trial and the recurrent failure of managing madness in jail.

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the

Amino Acids Sequences Analysis on Collagen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Staring from available information about amino acids properties and sequences on collagen type I chains, the aims of the study were to identify the principal property component and to analyze the similarities within and between collagens on five species.

Investigating the Role of Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Oral Lesions: A Scoping Review

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To provide an overview of the diagnostic potential of Ultrasound to assess oral lesions using Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography/Cone‐beam computed tomography, or histopathology as the reference standard. Methods A literature search was conducted from the following databases: OVID Medline and Embase, Web of Science, Pubmed ...
