Dairy cattle crossbreeding in the tropics: Choice of crossbreeding strategy

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 1996
Two strategies for crossbreeding of indigenous and exotic cattle for milk production in the tropics, viz. rotational crossing and formation of a composite breed, have been compared. Genetic considerations suggest that rotational crossing would lead to somewhat better dairy performance, mainly because of more heterozygosity.

Crossbreeding effects for White Spot Disease resistance in challenge tests and field pond performance in Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei involving susceptible and resistance lines

, 2020
The objective of this study was to estimate crossbreeding effects for individual survival time (STIM) in hours, and survival rate for the complete experimental period (SUEX) during challenges with White Spot Disease (WSD), as well as for individual ...

Crossbreeding in Poultry

World's Poultry Science Journal, 1977
A review of the literature pertaining to heterosis and crossbreeding techniques in poultry. An attempt has been made to summarize in a table the findings for important traits, viz.

"Crossbreeding" Geographical Quantities

Geographical Review, 1955
A s INCONCEIVABLE as a "boneless vertebrate" is a "nonquantitative geography." Estimates and measurements of terrestrial magnitudes-distances, directions, dimensions-have always constituted the framework of geographical knowledge. There are, however, degrees and standards of "quantitivity." Those attained by Eratosthenes and Ptolemy were comparatively ...

Behavioral pattern in Texel x Corriedale terminal crossbreeding: Maternal behavior score at birth, lambs’ feeding behaviors, and behavioral responses of lambs to abrupt weaning

Journal of veterinary behavior, 2019
Texel x Corriedale (TxC) crossbreed lambs grow faster than purebred Corriedale lambs (CxC). Thus, they should develop different feeding strategies, depending less on their mother, which should influence their behavioral response at weaning. The objective

Crossbreeding; Diallel Cross

1978
The diallel method used by Anisman (1976a) involves crossing each strain with every other reciprocally so that, as in this case, the use of three parental strains generates a 3 × 3 diallel table of family means in which the reciprocal crosses, by which prenatal maternal effects can be detected (see Section 9.1), are distributed symmetrically around the

Efective Crossbreeding Systems Utilizing Zebu Cattle

Journal of Animal Science, 1980
The basic objectives and procedures for successful crossbreeding of beef cattle were considered, with special reference to the levels of realized hybrid vigor that might be anticipated for different crossbreeding programs involving the American Brahman (Z1) and European (Ej) breeds. Intralocus heterozygosis levels with respect to breed origin of genes (

Crossbreeding and Meat Quality in Pigs

1987
A review is presented on heterosis for meat quality. The classical view, i.e. no significant heterosis, is to be revised to some extent when considering specific meat quality traits in specific crosses. Evidence is presented for two main deviations from additive inheritance of breed differences in crossing.
