Genome-Wide Association Study for Reproductive Traits in a Duroc Pig Population
Animals, 2019 In the pig industry, reproductive traits constantly influence the production efficiency. To identify markers and candidate genes underlying porcine reproductive traits, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed in a Duroc pig population.

Genetic Features of Reproductive Traits in Bovine and Buffalo: Lessons From Bovine to Buffalo
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Bovine and buffalo are important livestock species that have contributed to human lives for more than 1000 years. Improving fertility is very important to reduce the cost of production.

Genetic associations between reproductive and linear-type traits of Holstein cows in Brazil [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2017 This study aimed to estimate heritability, genetic, and residual correlations between reproductive traits such as age at first calving, calving interval, dry period, and first service period and linear type traits measured in Holstein cows born between ...

Genetics and genomics of reproductive performance in dairy and beef cattle [PDF]
Animal, 2014 Excellent reproductive performance in both males and females is fundamental to profitable dairy and beef production systems. In this review we undertook a meta-analysis of genetic parameters for female reproductive performance across 55 dairy studies or ...

Estimation of genetic parameters of pig reproductive traits
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 Introduction In this study, we aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of the reproductive traits in three popular commercial pig breeds: Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire. Additionally, we evaluated the factors that influence these traits.

Indirect genetic effects and sexual conflicts: partner genotype influences multiple morphological and behavioural reproductive traits in a flatworm [PDF]
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2017 The expression of an individual's phenotypic traits can be influenced by genes expressed in its social partners. Theoretical models predict that such indirect genetic effects (IGEs) on reproductive traits should play an important role in determining the ...
