BREEDS COMPOSITION IN THE BREEDING MEAT CATTLE BREEDING IN RUSSIA

Molochnoe i miasnoe skotovodstvo, 2021
Изучен породный состав и численность племенного скота мясного направления продуктивности в Российской Федерации. На долю мясных пород в мире приходится 40%  от всего поголовья крупного рогатого скота. В России специализированное мясное скотоводство как самостоятельную отрасль животноводства начали создавать в начале 30-х годов прошлого века.

When the breed is a breed?

Acta agriculturae Slovenica. Suplement, 2001
Definitions of the term breed differ and are usually very general. They do not include any objective measurement to undoubtedly define any group of domestic animals as a breed. Also information on the origin of breeds is often very superficial; and data on the origin of the Lipizzan horse presented in the article prove that.

Varieties and breeding. [PDF]

open access: possible, 2018
Abstract This chapter describes the main and minor cultivars, as well as other species and botanical varieties, of pineapple. The genetics and breeding system, including cytogenetics, selection, and rogueing, are discussed. Considerations in hand pollination, seed handling, germination and nursery management are also mentioned.

To breed, or not to breed? Predation risk induces breeding suppression in common voles

Oecologia, 2012
Breeding suppression hypothesis (BSH) predicts that, in several vole species, females will suppress breeding in response to high risk of mustelid predation; compared to breeding females, suppressing females would gain higher chances of survival. Seminal evidence for BSH was obtained in the laboratory, but attempts to replicate breeding suppression ...

Breeding by Design

Trends in Plant Science, 2003
Breeding by Design is a concept that aims to control all allelic variation for all genes of agronomic importance. This concept can be achieved through a combination of precise genetic mapping, high-resolution chromosome haplotyping and extensive phenotyping. Thanks to marker technology, software tools and the know-how available today, this goal can now

Breeding for speed

Science, 2014
I read with interest the In Depth story “Racing for disaster?” (A. Gibbons, 13 June, p. [1213][1]) on breeding thoroughbreds for speed, and the concerns about inbreeding and the resulting shrinkage of the gene pool. As Gibbons points out, such selection for speed generally involves putting 3-year-old stallions out to stud after winning one or more high-

Olive Breeding

2008
The olive (Olea europaea L.) is, at the same time, one of the most ancient domesticated fruit trees and the most extensively cultivated fruit crop in the world, covering an area of about 7.5 million hectares. The recent diffusion of olive outside its traditional area of cultivation, the Mediterranean basin, together with a continu- ous trend in the ...

Backcross Breeding

2009
Backcross breeding enables breeders to transfer a desired trait such as a transgene from one variety (donor parent, DP) into the favored genetic background of another (recurrent parent, RP). If the trait of interest is produced by a dominant gene, this process involves four rounds of backcrossing within seven seasons.

II. Breeds and breeding practices

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, 1979
A national questionnaire of farms with pigs, carried out in April 1977, was used as a source of data on the extent of use of purebred v. homebred stock in commercial herds, the fate and average age of performance‐tested boars, the extent of crossbreeding, and the identity of breeds and ...
