Single‐Step Genomic Predictions for Growth and Carcass Traits in Nordic Charolais and Hereford Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In order to investigate the applicability and efficiency of genomic selection for growth and carcass traits in Nordic beef cattle, single‐step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) was applied in 4321 Charolais and 4532 Hereford animals with information on approximately 43,000 SNPs each.

Dielectrophoretic Microfluidic Device for in Vitro Fertilization

open access: yesMicromachines, 2018
The aim of this work was to create a microfluidic platform that uses in vitro fertilization (IVF) and avoids unnecessary damage to oocytes due to the dielectrophoretic force manipulation of the sperms and oocytes that occurs in a traditional IVF ...

Genetic Parameter Estimation for Pregnancy Loss and Their Association With Reproductive and Growth Traits in Brahman Cattle Under Extensive Tropical Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study estimated genetic parameters for pregnancy loss (PL) in Brahman cattle and evaluated the genetic correlation of PL with growth and reproductive traits using both the pedigree relationship matrix (A) and pedigree plus genomic relationship matrix (H). Data were collected from two herds in Bolivia, focusing on three age groups: heifers,

Daśaratha’s Horse Sacrifice in the Rāmāyaṇa

open access: yesOrientalia Suecana, 2020
This article discusses Daśaratha’s horse sacrifice at 1.8–16 in Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa. Daśaratha’s rite seems to be a horse sacrifice, then a son-producing rite, then a porridge-eating rite.

Application of Genomic Random Regression Models for Genetic Parameter Estimations of Female Fertility Traits in Different Parities in German Holsteins

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to infer genetic (co) variance components and to estimate parity‐specific breeding values for the female fertility traits non‐return rate after 56 days, the interval from calving to first service and days open by applying random regression models on a time‐dependent parity scale. In this regard, we considered a

Validation of the polysemen admixture on viability and acrosomal morphology of boar spermatozoa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Semen were collected using artificial vagina (AV), from 5 large white boars aged 2-2.5 years twice a week for 16 weeks in each of the two seasons, early rainy (ER) and late rainy (LR) seasons, to determine the effects of multiple semen pool admixture on ...

Genetic Evaluation of Beef Sires Using a Beef‐on‐Dairy Crossbred Reference Population

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, Beef‐on‐Dairy (BoD) crossbreeding programs have gained momentum to enhance dairy cattle's economic and genetic merits while meeting the demand for high‐quality beef. However, bulls with superior growth potential can lead to calving problems; thus, Holstein dairy farmers must decide which semen to use to avoid calving problems ...

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with
