Genetic Heterogeneity of Residual Variance for Foot Score Traits in American Angus Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foot conformation is one of the main breeding goals in recent beef cattle breeding programs because it directly affects productivity, economic losses, animal welfare and longevity. Genetic heterogeneity of residual variance can be used to improve production uniformity in animal breeding programs because recent studies have shown that residual ...

Indirect Genomic Predictions for Indicine Cattle Breeds With SNP Effects From a Multi‐Breed Genomic Evaluation

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indirect predictions (IP) are used for young genotyped animals that lack phenotypes (of their own or from progeny) or are from commercial herds. The former can be left behind because they do not contribute to the official genomic evaluations.

Characterisation of spinal ligaments in the embryonic chick

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Use of the embryonic chick provides an opportunity to examine the maturation of spinal ligaments during development, to inform anatomical defects in the spine. Abstract Ligaments are important connective tissues within the musculoskeletal system that connect bone to bone and provide support and stability.

Effects of an Isoquinoline Alkaloids Blend on the Expression of Genes Relevant for Antioxidant Capacity, Barrier Integrity and Inflammation Along the Broiler Gut

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intensive broiler production may lead to perturbations of gut function and health. The maintenance of intestinal homeostasis in broilers through the use of dietary phytogenic components such as isoquinoline alkaloids (IQs) is an emerging topic of scientific investigations.

Meta‐Analysis of the Efficacy of Spirulina Intervention in Mitigating the Negative Impact of Heat Stress on Production Physiology and Health Indices of Broilers

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is an increasing number of published studies on the effect of spirulina (an aquatic plant known for its high nutritional value and potential health benefits) intervention on productivity and health of heat‐stressed broilers. However, the effect of spirulina intervention on the performance of broilers exposed to heat stress is poorly ...

Selection for Tameness in Red Junglefowl Recapitulates Genetic Loci Associated With Domestication‐Related Brain Composition

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Domestication involves huge phenotypic shifts via strong directional selection. The resulting changes, often termed the Domestication Syndrome, typically encompass numerous traits; however, the most universal of these are changes in reduced fear of humans (tameness) and brain composition.
