Improving genomic prediction accuracy of pig reproductive traits based on genotype imputation using preselected markers with different imputation platforms

open access: yesAnimal
Genomic prediction has been widely applied to the pig industry and has greatly accelerated the progress of genetic improvement in pigs. With the development of sequencing technology and price reduction, more and more genotype imputation panels of pig ...

Selective Breeding in Organic Dairy Production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Organic dairy farming started to take off in the early 1990s, when the European Union laid down organic standards for animal production. Until now, however, only incidental steps have been taken towards organic breeding and organic farmers mainly use ...

Optimisation of variance component estimation and genomic prediction in a commercial crossbred population of Duroc x (Landrace x Yorkshire) three-way pigs

open access: yesAnimal
Crossbreeding is often used in livestock breeding, and genomic selection (GS) is implemented with the breeding goal of selecting purebreds (PB) with high genetic merit for hybridisation to produce crossbreds (CB) with generally improved performance ...

Genomic prediction in maize breeding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In recent years the availability of cheap genome-wide markers resulted in a novel approach in maize breeding called genomic prediction (GP). Genomic prediction is a special form of marker assisted breeding, in which genetic markers covering the whole ...

Development and application of SNP chips in goat breeding: a mini review

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science
Goats (Capra hircus) are among the world’s most important livestock, providing milk, meat, and fiber across diverse agro-ecological zones. Traditional breeding relying on pedigree-based estimated breeding values (EBVs) has driven steady genetic progress ...

Innovations in the dairy chain: bio-economic analysis of novel breeding opportunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the dairy sector to move from producing bulk dairy commodities towards producing specialized dairy products aimed at niche markets. Dairy farmers consider shifting from commodity milk to raw milk with

Economic Impact Analysis of Marker-Assisted Breeding in Rice [PDF]

open access: yes
The benefits of developing and releasing salinity-tolerant and phosphorous-deficiency-tolerant rice in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and the Philippines were estimated for marker-assisted breeding as compared to conventional breeding using economic ...
