Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) and Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) crossbreeding husbandry practices in Turkey and Kazakhstan: An in-depth review

open access: yesPastoralism, 2020
Hybridization between dromedaries and Bactrian camels has been carried out since ancient times in various areas of the Middle East and Central Asia. The primary force behind such practice was to obtain a better pack camel for trade caravans and military ...

Postrelease exploration and stress tolerance of landlocked and anadromous Atlantic salmon and their hybrids

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2023
Threatened fish populations worldwide are relying on stock supplementation by hatchery‐reared fish. Although stocking with non‐native fish may lead to hybridization, thereby disrupting local adaptations, it could also improve the adaptive potential of ...

Characteristics of smallholders’ goat production systems and effect of Boer crossbreeding on body measurements of goats in Burundi

open access: yes, 2020
As part of a national action plan to manage animal genetic resources in Burundi, we characterized smallholders’ goat production systems and assessed the effect of Boer crossbreeding on animal body measures.

Reproductive behavior of Artemiafranciscana (Kellogg, 1906) from San Quintín, Baja California, Mexico

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 1998
The reproductive behavior of two populations of Artemia is analyzed, one from San Quintín, Baja California, and the other from Yavaros, Sonora. In the interpopulation mating, altemating oviparous and ovoviviparous reproduction was observed, with the ...

Resilience effects of SGK1 and TAP1 DNA markers during PRRSV outbreaks in reproductive sows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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,

Crossbreeding East African Highland Bananas: Lessons Learnt Relevant to the Botany of the Crop After 21 Years of Genetic Enhancement

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
East African highland bananas (EAHB) were regarded as sterile. Their screening for female fertility with “Calcutta 4” as male parent revealed that 37 EAHB were fertile.

Dynamics of the biodiversity of black and white cattle influenced by cross-breeding

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015
The inter-breed crossing (crossbreeding) permits one to introduce new alleles, extend genetic diversity, and achieve desired phenotypic characteristics of initial breeds. On the other hand, crossbreeding may cause a decrease in genetic differentiation of

Genetic evaluation for three-way crossbreeding [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2015
Commercial pig producers generally use a terminal crossbreeding system with three breeds. Many pig breeding organisations have started to use genomic selection for which genetic evaluation is often done by applying single-step methods for which the pedigree-based additive genetic relationship matrix is replaced by a combined relationship matrix based ...
