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

Energy metabolism of pregnant zebu and crossbred zebu dairy cattle

PLOS ONE, 2021
The purpose of this study was to determine the energy partition of pregnant F1 Holstein x Gyr with average initial body weight (BW) of 515.6 kg and Gyr cows with average initial BW of 435.1 kg at 180, 210 and 240 days of gestation, obtained using respirometry. Twelve animals in two groups (six per genetic group) received a restricted diet equivalent to

Integrative Genomics Identifies Candidate Genes Underlying Trypanotolerance in Hybrid African Cattle. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Integrative genomics combines data from different omics sources to link genotypes and phenotypes with the aim of unravelling biological networks and pathways that undergird complex traits, particularly with respect to disease. In this respect, integrative genomics, leveraging population and functional genomic data, can be employed to ...

Spongiform Encephalopathy in a Miniature Zebu

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
The first case of spongiform encephalopathy in a zebu (Bos indicus) was identified in a zoo in Switzerland. Although histopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses of the central nervous system indicated a diagnosis of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), molecular typing showed some features different from those of BSE in cattle (B. taurus).

Inbreeding depression in Zebu cattle traits [PDF]

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2016
SummaryThe productivity of herds may be negatively affected by inbreeding depression, and it is important to know how intense is this effect on the livestock performance. We performed a comprehensive analysis involving five Zebu breeds reared in Brazil to estimate inbreeding depression in productive and reproductive traits.

Embodied Narrations: Video Narrative Inquiry for Meaning‐Making of Learning Contexts

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This text begins with the initial question of how we can narrate in a situated and meaningful way about the processes of teaching and learning, not to repeat what we imagine that we should say and already know, but to be truthful with respect to the issues that affect us and matter to us.

Genetic Relationships Between Residual Gain and Economically Important Traits in Nellore Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable beef production requires identifying animals with superior feed efficiency to reduce environmental impact and production costs. This study aimed to estimate heritability and genetic correlations between residual gain (RG) and growth, reproductive, carcass and feed efficiency traits in Nellore cattle.

Signatures of Selection for Environmental Adaptation and Zebu × Taurine Hybrid Fitness in East African Shorthorn Zebu [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2017
El ganado East African Shorthorn Zebu (EASZ) es un antiguo híbrido entre el zebu asiático y el ganado taurino africano preferido por los agricultores locales debido a su adaptabilidad al medio ambiente africano. Los controles genéticos de estas adaptabilidades aún no se entienden claramente.

Plasma Pharmacokinetic Profile of Fipronil 1% Pour‐On in Cattle: Photodegradation and the Sustained Systemic Persistence of Fipronil Sulfone

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study characterized the long‐term pharmacokinetic profile of a 1% fipronil pour‐on formulation in Nellore bulls under field conditions. Seventeen animals received a single topical dose (1 mg/kg), and plasma concentrations of fipronil and its metabolites (sulfone and desulfinyl) were monitored for 175 days using LC–MS/MS.
