Reproductive Diseases Are Key Determinants Influencing the Success of Embryo Transfer and Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination in Cattle [PDF]
AnimalsReproductive biotechnologies, such as embryo transfer (ET) and fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI), are increasingly adopted to enhance genetic progress in tropical cattle production systems.

Indigenous domestic breeds as reservoirs of genetic diversity: the Argentinean Creole cattle
Animal Genetics, 2001 Contrary to highly selected commercial breeds, indigenous domestic breeds are composed of semi‐wild or feral populations subjected to reduced levels of artificial selection. As a consequence, many of these breeds have become locally adapted to a wide range of environments, showing high levels of phenotypic variability and increased fitness under ...

Genetic Characterization of Argentine and Bolivian Creole Cattle Breeds Assessed through Microsatellites [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2006 In the present report, the polymorphisms from 9 microsatellites were used to assess genetic diversity and relationships in 4 Creole cattle breeds from Argentina and Bolivia, 4 European taurine breeds, and 2 American zebu populations. The Creole populations display a relatively high level of genetic variation as estimated by allelic diversity and ...

Polymorphism of locus DRB3.2 in populations of Creole Cattle from Northern Mexico
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2008 The polymorphism of locus BoLA-DRB3.2 of the Major Histocompatibility Complex was evaluated in two northern Mexican Creole cattle populations, Chihuahua (n = 47) and Tamaulipas (n = 51). The BoLA-DRB3.2 locus was typed by amplification and digestion with

Research in Veterinary Science, 2003 The relict Patagonian Argentine Creole cattle population consist of a small feral population (Los Glaciares population) that is geographically isolated in the South-West of Patagonia. In order to determine the level of genetic variability of this population, the polymorphism of eight structural genes and two microsatellites loci were studied using the ...

The genetic ancestry of American Creole cattle inferred from uniparental and autosomal genetic markers. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Cattle imported from the Iberian Peninsula spread throughout America in the early years of discovery and colonization to originate Creole breeds, which adapted to a wide diversity of environments and later received influences from other origins ...

Genetic Diversity of the Beta-Casein Gene in Brown Swiss and Creole Cattle From the Peruvian Highlands. [PDF]
Anim GenetABSTRACT Cattle's milk and derivatives are essential for human nutrition. However, up to 90% of people experience gastrointestinal discomfort after consumption. Milk digestibility depends on its protein composition. Casein, about 80% of milk proteins, includes beta‐casein (CSN2) with two variants: A1 and A2. The A1 variant is linked to gastrointestinal

Non-Linear Mixed Models for the Characterization of Growth Trajectory Measured by Ultrasound of 'San Pedreño' Creole Pig Breed From Colombia. [PDF]
Vet Med SciUsing real‐time ultrasound images taken in vivo, the thickness of back fat and the longissimus dorsi muscle width can be estimated in ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs. ABSTRACT The aim was to identify non‐linear regression models, under the context of mixed models, to describe the growth trajectory of ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs based on two muscular ...

Zoometric Characterization of Creole Cows from the Southern Amazon Region of Peru
Diversity, 2021 Bovine breeding began in Peru more than five centuries ago; since then, adaptation has started. Nowadays, Creole cattle are part of economic activities of Peruvian farmers, as they supply food and profits, among other things, for families in Andean ...
