Hybridization among wild boars, local breeds and commercial breeds - preliminary results [PDF]
, 2016 Sus scrofa is one of the most widespread mammal species and it isheavily managed throughout its range in both its domestic andwild form. The wild boar is one of the most relevant game speciesin Europe but it is also considered a pest as it can produceeconomically important crop damages.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2022 For genomic prediction of crossbred animals, models that account for the breed origin of alleles (BOA) in marker genotypes can allow the effects of marker alleles to differ depending on their ancestral breed. Previous studies have shown that genomic estimated breeding values for crossbred cows can be calculated using the marker effects that are ...

Genomics of Dwarfism in Italian Local Chicken Breeds [PDF]
Genes, 2023 The identification of the dwarf phenotype in chicken is based on body weight, height, and shank length, leaving the differentiation between dwarf and small breeds ambiguous. The aims of the present study were to characterize the sequence variations associated with the dwarf phenotype in three Italian chicken breeds and to investigate the genes ...

Development of lymphocyte subpopulations in local breed chickens [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2021 Background and Aim: Local breeds of chicken are known to have relatively higher disease resistance to many endemic diseases and diseases that are highly virulent in commercial chickens. This study aimed to address the lymphocyte subpopulations in three constitutive immune system organs (thymus, bursa of Fabricius, and spleen) in 30, 8-week-old, male ...
