Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The selection of feed efficient sows effectively converting feed into milk production and body weight gain will contribute to the overall profitability of pig farming systems. Consequently, the aim of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters for feed efficiency indicator traits during the sow lactation period, and to infer ...

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global value of wool from coarse woolled sheep continues to decline, prompting producers to seek alternatives that reduce or eliminate the need for shearing. Several sheep breeds naturally shed their fleece in response to photoperiod, and these breeds are being crossed with populations that have high genetic merit for traits such as ...

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heritability (h2) is a key parameter in animal breeding, but its magnitude and consistency across pure‐bred (PB) and cross‐bred (CB) pig populations remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare heritability estimates between PB and CB populations for economically relevant traits through a systematic review and meta‐analysis.

Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Anogenital Distance and Linear Type Traits in Gir Cattle
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although linear type traits have been under selection in the Dairy Gir cattle for the past three decades, there are few studies exploring genetic architecture for these traits. The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes for anogenital distance and linear type traits in the Gir breed. For this study, the body measures of rump length (

Marriage of Love? Cross‐Fertilisation Between Illiberalism and Euroscepticism
JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.Abstract The article contributes to the conceptual mapping of the interaction between Euroscepticism and illiberalism, suggesting that there is a mutual reinforcement process between them. The overlaps cover the following areas: the critique of supranationalism, the resulting defence of national sovereignty, the defence of the (national) majority ...

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Genomic dissection of 2,377 soybean accessions identified 261 trait‐associated loci with distinct beneficial alleles in Chinese and American germplasms, enabled development of the Soybean Targeted Improvement Navigation System framework for targeted allele introgression, and provided genomic resources for knowledge‐driven soybean design breeding ...

A comparison of the feeding and grazing behaviour of primiparous Holstein-Friesian and Jersey × Holstein-Friesian dairy cows [PDF]
, 2012 Peer-reviewed articleFood intake and feeding behaviour of Holstein-Friesian (HF) and Jersey × Holstein- Friesian (J × HF) dairy cows (14 primiparous cows of each genotype) were measured during a 54-day confinement period [cows offered a complete diet ...
