Genomic prediction in pigs using data from a commercial crossbred population: insights from the Duroc x (Landrace x Yorkshire) three-way crossbreeding system

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background Genomic selection is widely applied for genetic improvement in livestock crossbreeding systems to select excellent nucleus purebred (PB) animals and to improve the performance of commercial crossbred (CB) animals.

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 ...

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.

Crossbreeding Rootstocks Improve Nitrogen Efficiency of Grafted Watermelon by Inducing Leaf Physiological and Root Morphological Responses

Horticulturae, 2022
This is the first hydroponic study that evaluated the role of the heterotic plant characters of crossbreeding progenies and accessions which were used as rootstock for watermelon (scion) to improve the nitrogen (N) efficiency of this crop by grafting ...

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

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 ...

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.

Effect of crossbreeding and sex on slaughter performance and meat quality in Xingguo gray goose based on multiomics data analysis

Poultry Science, 2023
: Here, we examined the effects of crossbreeding and sex on growth performance, slaughter performance, and meat quality in Xingguo gray (XG) goose, using transcriptomic and metabolomic techniques.

Milk, Fertility and Udder Health Performance of Purebred Holstein and Three-Breed Rotational Crossbred Cows within French Farms: Insights on the Benefits of Functional Diversity

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?

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 ...
