Animal models with group-specific additive genetic variances: extending genetic group models. [PDF]

Genet Sel Evol, 2019
Abstract1.Theanimal modelis a key tool in quantitative genetics and has been used extensively to estimate fundamental parameters, such as additive genetic variance, heritability, or inbreeding effects. An implicit assumption of animal models is that all founder individuals derive from a single population.

A fifth major genetic group among honeybees revealed in Syria. [PDF]

BMC Genet, 2013
BackgroundApiculture has been practiced in North Africa and the Middle-East from antiquity. Several thousand years of selective breeding have left a mosaic of Apis mellifera subspecies in the Middle-East, many uniquely adapted and survived to local ...

Effect of genetic group and feed system on locomotion score, clinical lameness and hoof disorders of pasture-based Holstein–Friesian cows

Animal, 2009
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of the genetic group of the Holstein–Friesian (HF) and pasture-based feeding system (3 × 2 factorial arrangement) on locomotion score (six gait aspects scored from one to five), clinical lameness ...

Effect of Holstein–Friesian genetic group on peripartum and early lactation haematological and acute phase proteins profiles, health and fertility

Animal, 2009
Pasture-based Holstein–Friesian cows from three genetic groups differing in the Irish ‘Economic Breeding Index’ (EBI) value and genetic background, namely North-American (NA) national average EBI genetic merit (LOW-NA, n = 42), North-American high EBI ...
