Optimum mating designs for exploiting dominance in genomic selection schemes for aquaculture species

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background In commercial fish, dominance effects could be exploited by predicting production abilities of the offspring that would be generated by different mating pairs and choosing those pairs that maximise the average offspring phenotype. Consequently,

Stability of closed and needle-punctured vials of Porvac® subunit vaccine against classical swine fever subjected to thermal stress

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is still one of the most economically important viral diseases of pigs. In endemic countries, the disease is controlled mostly through vaccination; hence, the availability of safe and effective vaccines is of utmost
