Development of management tools in the context of NBIC convergence [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
The greatest success in improving the breeding and productive qualities of Hereford cattle can be achieved through the use of high-value breeding bulls. The role of producers at the modern stages of beef cattle breeding has increased dramatically, so the

Impact of Model Parameterisation and Variance Component Estimates on Genomic Predictions of Carcass Traits in Montana Composite Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the influence of variance component (VC) estimates, obtained from different models and two relationship matrices, pedigree‐based (BLUP) and genomic information‐based (ssGBLUP), on genomic predictions of carcass traits in Montana composite cattle.

Contribution of Fat Adjustment to Residual Feed Intake Estimation in Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Including fat thickness as a covariate in the regression model used to calculate residual feed intake (RFI) could help preserve carcass quality traits, such as marbling, flavour and juiciness, by accounting for variation in fat deposition.

Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Performance of Hereford Crossbred and Kedah-Kelantan Cattle fed a Palm Kernel Cake-based Ration [PDF]

, 1985
In a feeding experiment involving the use of a PKC-based ration for·105 days, the average daily feed intake of 3.11 and 3.31 kg in Hereford crossbred and Kedah-Kelantan cattle respectively, was found to be not significant. Hereford crossbred cattle had
