Characterization of Autozygosity in Pigs in Three-Way Crossbreeding

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Crossbreeding in livestock can be used to increase genetic diversity. The resulting increase in variability is related to the heterozygosity of the crossbred animal. The evolution of diversity during crossbreeding can be assessed using genomic data.

How Hybrid Breakdown Can Be Handled in Rice Crossbreeding?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
In crosses between genetically divergent parents, traits such as weakness and sterility often segregate in later generations. This hybrid breakdown functions as a reproductive barrier and reduces selection efficiency in crossbreeding.

Review: Sustainability of crossbreeding in developing countries; definitely not like crossing a meadow…

Animal, 2016
Crossbreeding, considering either terminal or rotational crossing, synthetic breed creation or breed replacement, is often promoted as an efficient strategy to increase farmers’ income through the improvement of productivity of local livestock in ...

Genomic insight into the influence of selection, crossbreeding, and geography on population structure in poultry

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background In poultry, the population structure of local breeds is usually complex mainly due to unrecorded breeding. Local chicken breeds offer an interesting proxy to understand the complexity of population structure in the context of human-mediated ...

Genetic consequences of terminal crossbreeding, genomic test, sexed semen, and beef semen in dairy herds.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2021
The development of breeding tools, such as genomic selection and sexed semen, has progressed rapidly in dairy cattle breeding during the past decades. In combination with beef semen, these tools are adopted increasingly at herd level. Dairy crossbreeding

Terminal Crossbreeding of Murciano-Granadina Goats to Boer Bucks: Effects on Reproductive Performance of Goats and Growth of Kids in Artificial Rearing

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary The Murciano-Granadina is one of the main goat breeds dedicated to milk production worldwide. However, kids of this breed are born with low birth weight and do not grow rapidly, so farmers have little interest in raising them for meat ...

Breed of origin of alleles and genomic predictions for crossbred dairy cows

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background In dairy cattle, genomic selection has been implemented successfully for purebred populations, but, to date, genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for crossbred cows are rarely available, although they are valuable for rotational ...

Implementing a genomic rotational crossbreeding scheme to promote local dairy cattle breeds-A simulation study.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2021
In dairy cattle breeding, there is a clear trend toward the use of only a few high-yielding breeds. One main reason is that efficient breeding programs require a certain population size.

Breeding Strategy Shapes the Composition of Bacterial Communities in Female Nile Tilapia Reared in a Recirculating Aquaculture System

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
In industrial animal production, breeding strategies are essential to produce offspring of better quality and vitality. It is also known that host microbiome has a bearing on its health.
