An alternative Interpretation of residual feed intake by phenotypic recursive relationships in dairy cattle [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 There has been an increasing interest in residual feed intake (RFI) as a measure of net feed efficiency in dairy cattle. RFI phenotypes are obtained as residuals from linear regression encompassing relevant factors (i.e., energy sinks) to account for body tissue mobilization.

Haplotype Inference on Pedigrees with Recombinations, Errors, and Missing Genotypes via SAT solvers [PDF]
IEEE/ACM Trans. on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 9.6
(2012) 1582-1594, 2011 The Minimum-Recombinant Haplotype Configuration problem (MRHC) has been highly successful in providing a sound combinatorial formulation for the important problem of genotype phasing on pedigrees. Despite several algorithmic advances and refinements that led to some efficient algorithms, its applicability to real datasets has been limited by the ...

From Microbes to Methane: AI-Based Predictive Modeling of Feed Additive Efficacy in Dairy Cows [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In an era of increasing pressure to achieve sustainable agriculture, the optimization of livestock feed for enhancing yield and minimizing environmental impact is a paramount objective. This study presents a pioneering approach towards this goal, using rumen microbiome data to predict the efficacy of feed additives in dairy cattle.
