Mass transfer in beef: effect of crossbreeding and ultrasound application
Cuts of muscle (biceps femoris) from three crossbreeds between the Nelore, Angus and Wagyu breeds of cattle (Crossbreed 1 (C1): 1⁄2 Angus and 1⁄2 Nelore; Crossbreed 2 (C2): 3⁄4 Angus and 1⁄4 Nelore; Crossbreed 3 (C3): 1⁄2 Wagyu, 1⁄4 Nelore and 1⁄4 Angus)

Biological compatibility between two temperate lineages of brown dog ticks, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (sensu lato) [PDF]
Background: The brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (sensu stricto) is reputed to be the most widespread tick of domestic dogs worldwide and has also been implicated in the transmission of many pathogens to dogs and humans.

Economic opportunities of using crossbreeding and sexing in Holstein dairy herds.
With the increasing availability of sexed semen, farms have the opportunity to select genetically superior dams to produce their replacement animals and to produce crossbred calves for beef production of higher economic value than the remainder of the ...

Farmers play a key role in conserving native livestock breeds, but without economic support, farms with native breeds may not be viable. We hypothesized that terminal crossbreeding can improve herd economy and decrease the economic support needed from ...

Carcass characteristics of cattle differing in Jersey proportion [PDF]
peer-reviewedComparison of alternative dairy (cross-)breeding programs requires full appraisals of all revenues and costs, including beef merit. Few studies exist on carcass characteristics of crossbred dairy progeny originating from dairy herds as well ...

Resilience effects of SGK1 and TAP1 DNA markers during PRRSV outbreaks in reproductive sows [PDF]
The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a major infectious stressor that causes serious health problems and productivity drops. Based on previous genome-wide analyses, we selected SGK1 and TAP1 as candidate genes for resilience,
