Genetic aspects of calving, growth, and carcass traits in beef cattle [PDF]
, 2003 The aim of this thesis was to learn more about the genetic background of calving, growth and carcass traits of beef cattle breeds in Sweden, and to assess the possibility of including calving traits and commercial carcass traits in the genetic evaluation.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.The Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) faces threats like habitat loss, illegal hunting, and pollution. Our analysis of 54 rescued manatees in a Peruvian Amazon rehabilitation center revealed that initial weight and rate of weight gain significantly influenced survival during rehabilitation, while intestinal obstruction, often from prior ...

Drying off the dairy cow [PDF]
, 2006 Most dairy cows generally have a non-lactating, “dry period” prior to parturition. As the milk production of dairy cows has increased dramatically during the last decades, cows managed conventionally with a 12 to 13 month-calving interval are dried off ...

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Early and specific diagnosis of bronchopneumonia in foals is important to prevent severe disease. In human medicine, C‐reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) are important diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in neonatal pneumonia in other species.

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Twin births in dairy cattle are rare but present significant challenges for animal welfare, as both the health of the cow and the calves are affected. This causes economic losses, which prompts breeders to select against twin births and identify associated risk factors.

Genomic Analysis of Taurine and Indicine Ancestry in the Montana Tropical Composite Population
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Montana Tropical cattle, a Taurine and Indicine composite, were developed in Brazil since 1994 and were based on crossing four biological types of cattle: zebu (mainly Nelore), tropical adapted taurine (mainly Senepol and Romosinuano), British taurine (mainly Angus) and continental taurine (as Charolais, Simental and Limousin).
