Genetic analysis of the Sicilian Oriental Purebred horse

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
Sicilian Oriental Purebred is a small breed considered at critical risk status. In order to evaluate the genetic diversity of the extant selection nucleus, two different molecular markers were used. Twelve microsatellite loci were characterized to assess

Shared struggles: Parallels in caregiver burden between canine and paediatric epilepsy

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Disease‐specific aspects of pet owners’ caregiver burden could be missed by generic burden measures. This study aimed to assess whether a framework developed to describe caregiver burden in parents of children with epilepsy was applicable to caregivers of dogs with epilepsy.

Single‐dose enflicoxib versus a 7‐day course of firocoxib for postoperative pain control in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery: A multicentre, randomised, masked, non‐inferiority study

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Perioperative analgesia is essential in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery, and enflicoxib's long duration makes single‐dose administration attractive. Methods A prospective, multicentre, randomised, masked trial compared enflicoxib (8 mg/kg) given 24 hours before surgery with firocoxib (5 mg/kg) given daily for 7 days. Two hundred

One Hundred Years of Coat Colour Influences on Genetic Diversity in the Process of Development of a Composite Horse Breed

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences, 2022
Genetic diversity and demographic parameters were computed to evaluate the historic effects of coat colour segregation in the process of configuration of the Hispano-Arabian horse (Há). Pedigree records from 207,100 individuals born between 1884 and 2019

Chromatin Accessibility Profiling of the Canine Brain Reveals Regulatory Programs Associated With Dog‐Wolf Divergence and Human Psychiatric Risk

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The dog is a valuable model for studying social behavior and neuropsychiatric disease. We generated an ATAC‐seq atlas of 7 brain regions and pituitary from 4 beagles, identifying 251,492 CREs. Integrating dog‐wolf divergence revealed tissue‐specific CREs overlapping divergent loci, including neuronal and neuroendocrine genes.

Comparing Alternative Single-Step GBLUP Approaches and Training Population Designs for Genomic Evaluation of Crossbred Animals

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
As crossbreeding is extensively used in some livestock species, we aimed to evaluate the performance of single-step GBLUP (ssGBLUP) and weighted ssGBLUP (WssGBLUP) methods to predict Genomic Estimated Breeding Values (GEBVs) of crossbred animals ...

Genetic Determination of Maternal Behaviour in Pigs

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In sows, maternal behaviour is a commercially important trait which affects sow and piglet welfare and the quality and safety of human‐animal interactions, especially if free farrowing of sows without crates is in place. The aim of this study was to evaluate maternal behaviour and to estimate its quantitative genetic parameters in Swiss ...
