Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas
We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

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

Bos indicus cattle can maintain feed intake and fat reserves in response to heat stress better than Bos taurus cattle [PDF]
Bos indicus cattle are better adapted to tropical conditions than Bos taurus breeds and in part this may be related to differences in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism during heat stress.

Risk factors related to resistance to Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and weight gain of heifers
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of age and genetics in dairy heifers on resistance to the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and correlate these parameters with weight gain.

The authors complement bovine pan‐SV with massive novel structural variations (SVs) identified through long‐read sequencing of 83 globally distributed cattle breeds. Repetitive sequence‐mediated SVs (rep‐SV) exhibit distinct dynamic patterns throughout cattle sub‐speciation and/or domestication processes, including uneven distribution between chr‐X and

Milk protein polymorphism in taurine (Bos taurus) and zebu (Bos indicus) populations bred in hot climate [PDF]
The genetic variation at four milk protein loci alpha(s1)-casein (CSN1S1), beta-casein (CSN2), kappa-casein (CSN3) and beta-lactoglobulin (LGB) was investigated in 358 animals belonging to seven populations well adapted to hot climatic conditions, reared

Handmade Biopsy for Genotyping of In Vitro‐Produced Bovine Embryos
ABSTRACT Blastocyst biopsy allows genomic selection of pre‐implantation bovine embryos, reducing generation interval and enhancing the genetic gain. We aimed to evaluate the suitability of a simple biopsy procedure, performed by hands, using a splitting microblade and a stereoscope, on in vitro‐produced embryos. Crossbred Bos taurus x B.

ABSTRACT The reinstatement of Indigenous fire practices across northern Australia has demonstrated positive biocultural outcomes for local Indigenous communities, including reconnection to culture, Country and biodiversity conservation. However, limited research has specifically investigated the alignment of contemporary Indigenous fire management to ...

Tenderness and intramuscular lipid of most major muscles from Bos indicus cattle are less than Bos taurus cattle [PDF]
Beef Cattle Research, 2011 is known as Cattlemen’s Day, 2011In semitropical climates in the United States, Bos indicus breeds of cattle, primarily the Brahman breed, are utilized in crossbreeding programs with Bos taurus cattle to improve productivity ...
