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 ...

Board Invited Review: Crossbreeding beef × dairy cattle for the modern beef production system
Translational Animal Science, 2022 Current trends in the United States dairy industry suggest that crossbred beef × dairy calves are replacing a proportion of the calf-fed Holstein steers slaughtered for beef each year.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Animals, 2021 Using three-breed rotational crossbreeding in a purebred Holstein (HO) herd raises two questions: Do the different genetic classes of cows generated by crossbreeding perform differently?

Genomic analyses provide insights into breed-of-origin effects from purebreds on three-way crossbred pigs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Crossbreeding is widely used aimed at improving crossbred performance for poultry and livestock. Alleles that are specific to different purebreds will yield a large number of heterozygous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in crossbred individuals ...

Smallholder experiences with dairy cattle crossbreeding in the tropics: from introduction to impact
Animal, 2015 Crossbreeding of indigenous tropical and improved western dairy cattle breeds as tool to improve dairy cattle performance on smallholder farms has been widely advocated, criticised and yet applied. The government of Ethiopia supported this technology for

Comparative study of lactation curves and milk quality in Holstein versus Swedish Red and White-Holstein Cross Cows [PDF]
, 2018 The objective of this study reported in this research paper was to compare the lactation curves of the production of milk, fat, protein, percentages of fat and protein, and somatic cell score in purebred Holstein (H) cows and Swedish Red and White (SRW) -
