Utility of MARS Algorithm for Describing Non-Genetic Factors Affecting Pasture Revenue of Morkaraman Breed and Romanov × Morkaraman F1 Crossbred Sheep under Semi Intensive Conditions

Pakistan Journal of Zoology, 2018
This study was conducted on indigenous Morkaraman breed and Romanov x Morkaraman F1 Crossbreed sheep reared under semi-intensive conditions in order to determine the influence of dam age, genotype, birth weight, year, sex and birth type at lambing, weaning weight, weaning age, grazing period and weight at the end of the grazing period on pasture ...

Under‐Explored Species, Breeds and Cell Types With Potential for Cultivated Meat Production

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how the strategic selection of overlooked cell lines from novel species and specific agricultural breeds can help overcome current manufacturing bottlenecks in cultivated meat production. The schematic links the concept of an ‘ideal cell line’ to four key bioprocessing and product advantages that can be optimised ...

Prediction of Fattening Final Live Weight from some Body Measurements and Fattening Period in Young Bulls of Crossbred and Exotic Breeds using MARS Data Mining Algorithm

Pakistan Journal of Zoology, 2018
The aim of this investigation was to develop a prediction equation for fattening final live body weight from several body measurements and fattening period of native, crossbred and exotic breeds. For this aim, a total of 103 young bulls were used. In the prediction of fattening final live weight as an output variable, several continuous predictors ...

Integrated Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals the Genetic Basis of Phenotypic Variation in Tibetan Sheep

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
SNaPshot‐validated GWAS results demonstrated significant correlations between candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and body size traits in Tibetan sheep. Concurrently, hematoxylin and eosin staining, alongside muscle fiber analysis, confirmed pronounced morphological differences in muscle tissue between sheep of varying conformation.

Artificial neural networks for predicting first-lactation 305-day milk yield in crossbred cattle

South African Journal of Animal Science
This study was conducted using the first-lactation records of 1092 Vrindavani crossbred cattle to compare the relative efficiency of an artificial neural network (ANN) versus multiple linear regression for predicting the first-lactation 305-day milk ...

Basal body temperature as a biomarker of reproductive state in ewes: A multi‐method comparison

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
This study quantified body temperature dynamics throughout reproductive stages in crossbred ewes based on complementary monitoring techniques. Five ewes from a semi‐extensive farming system were included in two sub‐trials: animals were first assessed in the prepubertal stage and, subsequently, an oestrous cycle was induced by intravaginal progesterone ...

Estimation of Genetic Parameters and Genetic Trends for Growth and Reproductive Traits in Mashona Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mashona cattle are an indigenous Sanga cattle breed from Zimbabwe, used for beef production and known for their mothering ability and adaptation to harsh tropical environments. Growth and reproductive traits are key determinants of efficiency in beef production.

Genetic and Phenotypic Correlations Among Growth, Disease Occurrence, and Reproductive Performance From Calf to Heifer in Girolando Dairy Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Girolando breed, a cross between Holstein (Bos taurus) and Gir (Bos indicus), is the primary choice for dairy production in Brazilian tropical regions, as it combines high productive potential with adaptation to the tropical environment.

Computed tomography versus magnetic resonance imaging for the perioperative management of acute thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion in non‐ambulatory chondrodystrophic dogs

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To determine whether perioperative management guided by conditional computed tomography‐myelography (C‐CTM) is non‐inferior to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) regarding functional outcome for acute thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE) in non‐ambulatory chondrodystrophic dogs.

High‐throughput phenotyping for the prediction and quantification of flower‐related traits in sugarcane

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), a C4 plant, is a vital renewable biofuel and sugar source for industries worldwide. However, synchronizing flowering between parental lines often poses challenges for breeders, hindering effective crossbreeding efforts.
