Inbreeding Implications on Genetic Diversity and Population Evolution of South American Brown Swiss Cattle. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Inbreeding is a critical issue in both conservation and animal breeding, as it can severely impact survival, reproductive success and genetic diversity (GD) in domestic species. The Brown Swiss cattle were introduced in South America around a century ago; however, the breeding scheme–derived consequences have been neglected by breeders for numerous ...

Selection of Sahiwal Cattle Bulls on Pedigree and Progeny [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2006
rhe objective of the study was to compare ranking of Sahiwal bulls selected on the basis of highest lactation milk yield of their dams with their estimated breeding values (EBVs) using an animal model. Data on 23,761 lactation milk yield records of 5,936 cows from five main Livestock Experiment Stations in Punjab province of Pakistan (1964-2004) were ...

Comparative studies on milk parameters and somatic cell count of Badri cattle over Sahiwal and crossbred counterparts

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2023
This study aims to provide reference values of some of milk parameters and somatic cell count of Badri cows as well their comparison with Sahiwal and crossbred counterparts. Lower milk SCC in Badri cattle reflects their resistance to mastitis.

Influence of MC1R Gene Variants on Coat Color of Indicine Cattle Breeds. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Indicine cattle display a broad range of coat colors, representing a relevant and breed‐defining trait required for registration in breeder association. Among the genes involved in pigmentation, MC1R stands out for modulating the synthesis of melanin‐related proteins and remains poorly explored in indicine cattle breeds. Therefore, we aimed to

Optimization of Economic Traits of Sahiwal Cattle

Journal of Animal Research, 2016
A study was conducted for estimation of optimum range of age at first calving (AFC), service period (SP) and preceding dry period (DP) on Sahiwal cattle (n=462) data, spread over a period of 15 years (1997–2011), maintained at Livestock Research Center, National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal. In order to determine the optimum range of these economic
