Local cattle breeds in Europe [PDF]

, 2010
Which policies and strategies are required to successfully maintain our European Farm Animal Genetic Resources? The European local cattle populations were a target in the EURECA project, co-funded by the European Commission (EU AGRI GENRES 870/04). The general aim was to better understand the state of the breeds, to identify factors that contribute to ...

Genome-Wide SNP Analysis Reveals the Population Structure and the Conservation Status of 23 Italian Chicken Breeds

Animals, 2020
The genomic variability of local Italian chicken breeds, which were monitored under a conservation plan, was studied using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to understand their genetic diversity and population structure.

Regional issues on animal genetic resources: trends, policies and networking in Europe [PDF]

, 2010
European countries are individually and in collaboration carrying out active work on animal genetic resources (AnGR). The region has a very good starting point for work on AnGR: The breed concept was developed in Europe; current European mainstream ...

Segregation between breeds and local breed proportions in genetic and genomic models for crossbreds

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Abstract Background The breeding value of a crossbred individual can be expressed as the sum of the contributions from each of the contributing pure breeds. In theory, the breeding value should account for segregation between breeds, which results from the difference in the mean contribution of loci between breeds, which

Radiographic Anatomy of the Abdomen of Local Breed Dogs

Asian Journal of Medicine and Health, 2021
Objectives: The anatomical area that constitutes the abdomen is an area that is often subject to serious conditions. These diseases can affect the digestive and urogenital systems and radiography is a complementary examination of choice to refine the diagnosis. This study had for objective, to realize a radio anatomical atlas of the Abdomen in order to

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

, 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.

SPATIAL SCALE OF LOCAL BREEDING HABITAT QUALITY AND ADJUSTMENT OF BREEDING DECISIONS

Ecology, 2008
Experimental studies provide evidence that, in spatially and temporally heterogeneous environments, individuals track variation in breeding habitat quality to adjust breeding decisions to local conditions. However, most experiments consider environmental variation at one spatial scale only, while the ability to detect the influence of a factor depends ...

A comparison between the quality of eggs from indigenous chicken breeds and that from commercial layers

Poultry Science, 2020
There is an increased interest in animal products from more sustainable farming practices, which may include using local breeds. In addition, maintaining biodiversity is important, and naturally, indigenous breeds of chickens are well adapted to the ...

SNP-Based Genotyping Provides Insight Into the West Asian Origin of Russian Local Goats

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Specific local environmental and sociocultural conditions have led to the creation of various goat populations in Russia. National goat diversity includes breeds that have been selected for down and mohair production traits as well as versatile local ...

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.
