A comparison of marker-based estimators of inbreeding and inbreeding depression
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022 Background The availability of genome-wide marker data allows estimation of inbreeding coefficients (F, the probability of identity-by-descent, IBD) and, in turn, estimation of the rate of inbreeding depression (ΔID).

Non-linear recursive models for growth traits in the Pirenaica beef cattle breed
Animal, 2014 One of the main goals of selection schemes in beef cattle populations is to increase carcass weight at slaughter. Live weights at different growth stages are frequently used as selection criteria under the hypothesis that they usually have a high and ...

Future farming: protein production for livestock feed in the EU
Sustainable Earth Reviews, 2023 Climate change can have a negative impact on agricultural production and food security. Vice versa, agricultural practices themselves contribute to climate change because of land, water, and energy use and anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses and

Regulatory role of microRNA in mesenteric lymph nodes after Salmonella Typhimurium infection
Veterinary Research, 2018 Salmonellosis is a gastrointestinal disease caused by non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars such as Salmonella Typhimurium. This pathology is a zoonosis, and food animals with subclinical infection constitute a vast reservoir for disease.
