Local cattle breeds in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Total and Differential Somatic Cell Count in Italian Local Cattle Breeds: Phenotypic Variability and Effect on Milk Yield and Composition

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Simple Summary In addition to the historical indicator of mammary gland health, milk somatic cell count (SCC), the differential SCC (DSCC) has been introduced to improve the accuracy of mastitis detection. No studies have yet explored DSCC variability in

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

open access: yesAnimals, 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.

Compositional attributes and fatty acid profile of lamb meat from Iberian local breeds

open access: yes, 2020
This study aimed to compare lamb meat composition from five Iberian breeds raised in their typical rearing systems and to reveal trends in compositional meat attributes due to breed or production system. The meat quality of 153 animals was analysed.

Differences in Bioactive Protein and Vitamin Status of Milk Obtained from Polish Local Breeds of Cows

open access: yes, 2020
The aim of the study was to compare the content of selected bioactive whey proteins and lipophilic vitamins, which largely determine the bioactive status of milk, in milk obtained from local breeds of cows raised in Poland (Polish Red, White-Backed and ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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

open access: yesEcology, 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 ...

The risk status of Polish local breeds under conservation programmes – new approach

open access: yes, 2020
Native breeds of farm animals, despite their unique characteristics and adaptability to diverse and often adverse environmental conditions, are at risk due to their lower profitability and corresponding declining use.

Promoting Sustainable Utilization and Genetic Improvement of Indonesian Local Beef Cattle Breeds: A Review

open access: yesAgriculture, 2022
This paper reviews the literature relevant to the breeding of cattle grazed in tropical environments and particularly Indonesia. The aim is to identify new breeding opportunities for cattle owned by Indonesia’s smallholder farmers, whilst also conserving
