A Capra hircus chromosome 19 locus linked to milk production influences mammary conformation

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022
Background Economically important milk production traits including milk volume, milk fat and protein yield vary considerably across dairy goats in New Zealand. A significant portion of the variation is attributable to genetic variation.

Influence of WDR41 and ANKRD31 gene polymorphism on udder and teat type traits and mastitis in Karan Fries cows

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2022
In the present study, the effect of genetic polymorphism of WD-repeat containing protein 41 (WDR41) and Ankyrin repeat domain containing protein 31 (ANKRD31) gene on 17 traits related to udder and teat type and mastitis in 123 Karan Fries cows was ...

Population Differentiation and Polygenic Selection in the Finnish Ayrshire Cows Selected on Genomic Information

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

Genetic Determination of Maternal Behaviour in Pigs

Journal 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 ...

Integrating Udder Morphology, Somatic Cell Count and Infrared Thermography to Assess Udder Health in Dairy Goats

Ruminants
Maintaining udder health and milk quality is important in dairy goat production; however, the interpretation of somatic cell count (SCC) in goats is complicated by physiological and non-infectious factors.

Milking Vacuum Influencing Indicators of Udder Health

Journal of Dairy Science, 1981
In 23 first-calf heifers we ascertained effects that milking vacuums of 34, 42.5, and 51 kPa had on udder health by percentage of quarter-samples positive for Staphylococcus aureus, total counts of bacteria on blood agar, teat end scores, California Mastitis Test, and direct microscopic somatic cell count. Measures were higher for 51 kPa than for 34 or

Carryover of Aflatoxin From Dairy Feed to Milk: A Systematic Review (1 January 2004–31 December 2024)

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aflatoxins, toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus species, are frequently reported contaminants of dairy cattle feed worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where climatic conditions favor fungal growth, and they can be transferred into milk and dairy products.
