Breeding programmes to improve male reproductive performance and efficiency of insemination dose production in paternal lines: feasibility and limitations
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2013-06-26)
This paper reviews the current genetic knowledge on issues related with the efficient use of bucks
in artificial insemination (AI). Differences between lines have been found to be relevant in semen ...
Bayesian hierarchical model for comparison of different nonlinear function and genetic parameter estimates of meat quails
(Oxford University Press, 2018-12-07)
This study aimed to compare different nonlinear functions to describe the growth curve of European quails and to estimate growth curve parameters, (co)variance components, and genetic and systematic ...
Genetic parameters and expected responses to selection for components of feed efficiency in a Duroc pig line
(BMC, 2017-12-01)
Background: Improving feed efciency (FE) is a key factor for any pig breeding company. Although this can be achieved by selection on an index of multi-trait best linear unbiased prediction of breeding ...
Interaction of direct and social genetic effects with feeding regime in growing rabbits
(BMC, 2017-07-20)
Background: Most rabbit production farms apply feed restriction at fattening because of its protective efect against digestive diseases that afect growing rabbits. However, it leads to competitive ...
Use of group records of feed intake to select for feed efficiency in rabbit
(Wiley, 2019-04-24)
Models for genetic evaluation of feed efficiency (FE) for animals housed in groups when they are either fed ad libitum (F) or on restricted (R) feeding were implemented. Definitions of FE on F included ...
Machine learning applied to transcriptomic data to identify genes associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-03-13)
Background: To date, the molecular mechanisms that underlie residual feed intake (RFI) in pigs are unknown. Results
from diferent genome‑wide association studies and gene expression analyses are not ...
