Linkage Disequilibrium Estimation of Chinese Beef Simmental Cattle Using High-density SNP Panels [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2013
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) plays an important role in genomic selection and mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL). In this study, the pattern of LD and effective population size (Ne) were investigated in Chinese beef Simmental cattle.

Frequency Weaning - Fertilization Interval in Large White Sows

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
The time from weaning to fertilization is a non productive interval in sows fertility. The present paper has studied the number of weaned piglets and farrowing rang as factors of influence in sows fertility, based on 1230 deliveries in Large White sows ...

Considerations on the Present and Future of Buffalo in Terms of Sustainability

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
This paper is a brief analysis on the evolution of the buffalo herds nationally and internationally. It is noted that depending on the size of herds in each country may speak of countries with active population, the countries of Italy in increasing Asian

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Is Chicory a Viable Feedstuff for Cattle?

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
The aim of the current study was to test the viability of including chicory in cows’ diet. A total of 2250 data were recorded from 150 Romanian Spotted cows related to 6 forage structures: alfalfa (αα), chicory (C), mixed alfalfa and chicory (αC), mixed ...

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Genome wide association study and genomic prediction for fatty acid composition in Chinese Simmental beef cattle using high density SNP array

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Fatty acid composition of muscle is an important trait contributing to meat quality. Recently, genome-wide association study (GWAS) has been extensively used to explore the molecular mechanism underlying important traits in cattle.

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

Detection of Genetic Variants Associated with Behavioural Response During Milking in Simmental Dual-Purpose Cows

Animals
Cattle breeding has traditionally focused on improving production traits; however, recent interest in positive animal welfare has shifted attention toward selecting for more robust animals that balance productivity with health and well-being.
