Genomic Prediction for Twin Pregnancies

Animals, 2021
Twinning is a multifactorial trait influenced by both genetic and environmental factors that can negatively impact animal welfare and economic sustainability on commercial dairy operations. To date, using genetic selection as a tool for reducing twinning

Genomic Prediction for Abortion in Lactating Holstein Dairy Cows

Animals, 2022
Abortion in dairy cattle causes great economic losses due to reduced animal health, increase in culling rates, reduction in calf production, and milk yield, among others. Although the etiology of abortions can be of various origins, previous research has

Simultaneous Selection of Sweet-Waxy Corn Ideotypes Appealing to Hybrid Seed Producers, Growers, and Consumers in Thailand

Agronomy, 2021
Multi-trait selection helps breeders identify genotypes that appeal to divergent groups of preferences. In this study, we performed simultaneous selection of sweet-waxy corn hybrids on several traits covering the perspectives of consumers (taller kernel ...

Breeding Short-Day Strawberry Genotypes for Cultivation in Tropical and Subtropical Regions

Horticulturae, 2023
The main strawberry cultivars grown in tropical regions originated from breeding programs developed in temperate countries, which limit the expression of their maximum productive potential when grown in warm climates. Additionally, strawberry cultivation

Effect of Genetic and Environmental Factors on Twin Pregnancy in Primiparous Dairy Cows

Animals, 2023
Twin pregnancies are highly undesirable in dairy cattle; they compromise the health and wellbeing of a cow and dramatically impair the farm economy. Recently, a genomic prediction for twin pregnancies has been developed.
