Genetic diversity in some local chicken breeds using microsatellite markers

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
Genetic relationships among Veneto native breeds of chickens were studied on the basis of microsatellites polymorphisms. A total of 100 DNA samples from 2 local chicken breeds (45 Robusta Lionata and 43 Robusta Maculata) and a commercial broiler line (12

Conservational issues in local breeds – State of the art

Acta agriculturae Slovenica. Suplement, 2013
Local pig breeds represent an important resource in the Mediterranean countries and a sustainable exploitation of them could greatly contribute to the income of the farmers. At present 34 local pig breeds are recognized and still raised in Mediterranean countries even if the level of information about them varies consistently.

Genomic Uniqueness of Local Sheep Breeds From Morocco

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Sheep farming is a major source of meat in Morocco and plays a key role in the country’s agriculture. This study aims at characterizing the whole-genome diversity and demographic history of the main Moroccan sheep breeds, as well as to identify selection

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.

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 ...
