Local breeds and genetic improvement

, 2006
Genetic improvement is generally associated to large breeds and management of local small breeds is seen as maintenance of the current genetic profùe, however, selection programmes may increase sustainability oflocal breeds.

Local breed proportions and local breed heterozygosity in genomic predictions for crossbred dairy cows

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 ...

A meta-analysis of genetic and phenotypic diversity of European local pig breeds reveals genomic regions associated with breed differentiation for production traits [PDF]

, 2023
Background Intense selection of modern pig breeds has resulted in genetic improvement of production traits while the performance of local pig breeds has remained lower.

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 ...
