Regional issues on animal genetic resources: trends, policies and networking in Europe

, 2010
European countries are individually and in collaboration carrying out active work on animal genetic resources (AnGR). The region has a very good starting point for work on AnGR: The breed concept was developed in Europe; current European mainstream ...

Number of females in cattle, sheep, pig, goat and horse breeds predicted from a single year's registration data

Animal, 2011
An objective and accountable method is needed for deducing the number of registered animals in a breed from registration data. By following the principle that individual breeders register sufficient young females to be certain of having enough ...

Physiological breeding

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2016
Physiological breeding crosses parents with different complex but complementary traits to achieve cumulative gene action for yield, while selecting progeny using remote sensing, possibly in combination with genomic selection. Physiological approaches have already demonstrated significant genetic gains in Australia and several developing countries of ...

Milking Characteristics of Istrian and Littoral Dinaric Donkey Breeds [PDF]

, 2015
Istrian and Littoral Dinaric donkey are autochthonous breeds which habitat primarily in the Mediterranean part of Croatia. During the second half of the 20th century they have lost primary function as working animals, which led to breeds suppression ...

Functional Insights into Genic Neighbourhood Organization of Helitron Transposons in Bos taurus Genomes [PDF]

Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2017
Transposable elements (TEs) represent well-known factors of genomic variability and evolution. TEs are important providers of regulatory elements that are able to significantly influence the architecture and expression of the host genome. Currently, of a

Heat tolerance in Mashona beef cows in semi-arid rangelands: does conformation matter?

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2023
High temperatures and frequent heat waves raise concerns about heat stress in cattle in grass-based systems, especially in arid and semiarid areas. This study analysed the relationship between conformation traits and physiological parameters associated ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing uncovers cellular heterogeneity of granulosa cells and provides a signature for follicular development in chicken

Poultry Science
Functional differentiation of the granulosa cell (GC) layer plays an essential role in follicular development and oocyte maturation in birds. However, despite the importance of GCs, heterogeneity within the granulosa layer across poultry species remains ...
