Negotiated Ventilation: Conceptualising Interprofessional Decision Work in Intensive Care—An Ethnographic Study

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To conceptualise how ventilation‐related decisions are accomplished as interprofessional work in intensive care practice, moving beyond approaches that treat decision‐making as discrete events. Design Ethnography. Methods Data were generated through 97 h of participant observation and 17 episodic interviews with nurses (n = 12) and ...

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 ...

Estimation of Genetic Parameters and Genetic Trends for Growth and Reproductive Traits in Mashona Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mashona cattle are an indigenous Sanga cattle breed from Zimbabwe, used for beef production and known for their mothering ability and adaptation to harsh tropical environments. Growth and reproductive traits are key determinants of efficiency in beef production.

Genetic and Phenotypic Correlations Among Growth, Disease Occurrence, and Reproductive Performance From Calf to Heifer in Girolando Dairy Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Girolando breed, a cross between Holstein (Bos taurus) and Gir (Bos indicus), is the primary choice for dairy production in Brazilian tropical regions, as it combines high productive potential with adaptation to the tropical environment.

Genetic Parameters for Feed Efficiency Indicator Traits in a Rotational Crossbreed Sow Population During Lactation Period

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The selection of feed efficient sows effectively converting feed into milk production and body weight gain will contribute to the overall profitability of pig farming systems. Consequently, the aim of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters for feed efficiency indicator traits during the sow lactation period, and to infer ...

Heritability of Productive, Reproductive and Carcass Traits in Pure‐Bred and Cross‐Bred Pigs: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heritability (h2) is a key parameter in animal breeding, but its magnitude and consistency across pure‐bred (PB) and cross‐bred (CB) pig populations remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare heritability estimates between PB and CB populations for economically relevant traits through a systematic review and meta‐analysis.

Genetic Correlations Between Fleece Shedding and Production Traits Indicate Minimal Trade‐Offs When Breeding for Maternal Shedding Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fleece shedding is becoming an increasingly important trait in sheep production systems focused on meat and dairy, where wool has limited economic value and reducing shearing costs is desirable. For inclusion in breeding programmes, a trait must exhibit genetic variation, sufficient heritability, and have well‐defined relationships with other ...

Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Anogenital Distance and Linear Type Traits in Gir Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although linear type traits have been under selection in the Dairy Gir cattle for the past three decades, there are few studies exploring genetic architecture for these traits. The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes for anogenital distance and linear type traits in the Gir breed. For this study, the body measures of rump length (
