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 ...

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 ...

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,

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