Study of Genetic Progress in the Context of Disconnection Between Two Originally Connected Populations [PDF]
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 24-34, January 2026.ABSTRACT Genetic progress of breeding programs is highly dependent on the size of reference populations and the relatedness between reference populations and selection candidates. Many reasons can lead a population to split into several subpopulations (sanitary, physiological, political reasons, etc.).

Genetic parameters of some productive and reproductive traits in sheep from the Bulgarian dairy synthetic population (BDSP) and its crosses with Lacaune and Assaf [PDF]
Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2021 Dominating in recent years in Bulgaria are the sheep from the Bulgarian Dairy Synthetic Population (BDSP) and its crosses with other dairy breeds. This in turn leads to significant, scientifically based genetic and phenotypic diversity and different ...

THE CHANGES IN THE BLOOD’S ACID-BASE BALANCE OF THE LACAUNE SHEEP DURING DIFFERENT LACTATION STAGES
Poljoprivreda, 2022 The aim of the present study was to determine the acid-base balance in the blood of the Lacaune sheep during different lactation stages. Thirty lactating Lacaune sheep were involved in the research, and were monitored in the early (day 60), medium (day ...

Factors affecting milk yield and ewe's lactation curves estimated with test-day models
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2006 Test-day records of purebred Tsigai, Improved Valachian and Lacaune ewes were analysed with a general linear model in order to investigate the effects of flock-test day, lactation number, days in milk, litter size and month of lambing. In total, 121 576 (

Genomic selection in the French Lacaune dairy sheep breed [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2012 Genomic selection aims to increase accuracy and to decrease generation intervals, thus increasing genetic gains in animal breeding. Using real data of the French Lacaune dairy sheep breed, the purpose of this study was to compare the observed accuracies of genomic estimated breeding values using different models (infinitesimal only, markers only, and ...
