Purebred and Crossbred Genomic Evaluation and Mate Allocation Strategies To Exploit Dominance in Pig Crossbreeding Schemes

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
We investigated the effectiveness of mate allocation strategies accounting for non-additive genetic effects to improve crossbred performance in a two-way crossbreeding scheme.

Infertility in purebred cats – A review of the potential causes

Theriogenology, 2020
Although purebred cat breeding is growing in popularity in European countries, most research and publications concern dog reproduction. Infertility in queens has been poorly studied. It may not come as a surprise as common domestic shorthair cats are well known for their excellent fertility.

Genome-Wide SNP Data Revealed the Extent of Linkage Disequilibrium, Persistence of Phase and Effective Population Size in Purebred and Crossbred Buffalo Populations

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a useful parameter for guiding the accuracy and power of both genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic selection (GS) among different livestock species. The present study evaluated the extent of LD, persistence of

Optimizing purebred selection to improve crossbred performance

Frontiers in Genetics
Crossbreeding is a widely adopted practice in the livestock industry, leveraging the advantages of heterosis and breed complementarity. The prediction of Crossbred Performance (CP) often relies on Purebred Performance (PB) due to limited crossbred data ...

Effects of heterozygosity on performance of purebred and crossbred pigs [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019
In pigs, crossbreeding aims at exploiting heterosis, but heterosis is difficult to quantify. Heterozygosity at genetic markers is easier to measure and could potentially be used as an indicator of heterosis. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of heterozygosity on various maternal and production traits in purebred and crossbred ...

Age-related analysis of the gut microbiome in a purebred dog colony.

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2019
Dogs are model animals that can be used to study the gut microbiome. Although the gut microbiome is assumed to be closely related to aging, information pertaining to this relationship in dogs is limited.

Incidence patterns of orofacial clefts in purebred dogs

PLOS ONE, 2019
Cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP) and cleft lip and palate (CLP) are the most common types of orofacial clefts in dogs. Orofacial clefts in dogs are clinically relevant because of the associated morbidity and high newborn mortality rate and are of interest as comparative models of disease.
