Biochemical polymorphism of several local breeds and cross breeds [PDF]

Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences
In the study to determine the genetic structure of local breeds and cross breeds of sheep, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) enzyme loci were examined by starch gel electrophoresis.

Challenges and opportunities in genetic improvement of local livestock breeds [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
Sufficient genetic variation in livestock populations is necessary both for adaptation to future changes in climate and consumer demand, and for continual genetic improvement of economically important traits.

Genomic regions underlying positive selection in local, Alpine cattle breeds. [PDF]

Animal Genetics, 2023
We used genome-wide SNP data from 18 local cattle breeds from six countries of the Alpine region to characterize population structure and identify genomic regions underlying positive selection.

Motives and values in farming local cattle breeds in Europe: a survey on 15 breeds [PDF]

Animal Genetic Resources/Ressources génétiques animales/Recursos genéticos animales, 2010
Within the EURECA project (Towards self-sustainable EUropean REgional CAttle breeds), we interviewed a total of 371 farmers of 15 local cattle breeds in eight European countries. Besides collecting data on farmers, land use, herd composition and economic role of cattle, we aimed at understanding farmers’ motives and values in keeping local cattle.

Managing genetic diversity in breeding programs of small populations: the case of French local chicken breeds

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022
Background On-going climate change will drastically modify agriculture in the future, with a need for more sustainable systems, in particular regarding animal production. In this context, genetic diversity is a key factor for adaptation to new conditions:

Environmental impacts of pig production systems using European local breeds: The contribution of carbon sequestration and emissions from grazing

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019
Environmental assessment of pig production systems using local breeds remains poorly documented in the literature. So far, studies did not account for specificities of outdoor rearing which is quite common in such systems.

Semen quality of Italian local pig breeds

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
From 1996 to 1999 a conservation programme was carried out within the framework of EC contract “European gene banking project for the pig genetic resources” (Ollivier et al., 2001) in the Italian local pig breeds.

Genotypic and Dietary Effects on Egg Quality of Local Chicken Breeds and Their Crosses Fed with Faba Beans

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary The quality of chicken eggs is important for reasons of food safety and the consumers’ choice at the point of sale. Faba beans are a regionally produced alternative to soybeans, but they contain substances that could influence the egg ...
