Genetic parameters and direct, maternal and heterosis effects on litter size in a diallel cross among three commercial varieties of Iberian pig
(Animal, 2019-06-04)The Iberian pig is one of the pig breeds that has the highest meat quality. Traditionally, producers have bred one of the available varieties, exclusively, and have not used crosses between them, which ... -
Genetic parameters and expected responses to selection for components of feed efficiency in a Duroc pig line
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 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 ... -
Genetic parameters of sow feed efficiency during lactation and its underlying traits in a Duroc population
(animal, 2019-11-25)As a result of the genetic selection for prolificacy and the improvements in the environment and farms management, litter size has increased in the last few years so that energy requirements of the ... -
Genetic profiling of Mycobacterium bovis strains from slaughtered cattle in Eritrea
(PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018-04-17)Mycobacterium bovis (M.bovis) is the main causative agent for bovine tuberculosis (BTB) and can also be the cause of zoonotic tuberculosis in humans. In view of its zoonotic nature, slaughterhouse ... -
Genetic regulation of volatile production in two melon introgression line collections with contrasting ripening behavior
(Horticulture Research, 2024-01-16)The importance of melon aroma in determining fruit quality has been highlighted in recent years. The fruit volatile profile is influenced by the type of fruit ripening. Non-climacteric fruits contain ... -
Genetic selection for high growth improves the efficiency of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) in using novel diets with insect meal, single-cell protein and a DHA rich-microalgal oil
(Aquaculture, 2023-08-29)Genetic selection and novel raw materials for aquafeeds are current key tools in the ongoing effort to increase the productivity, efficiency, and sustainability of the aquaculture sector. Selective ... -
Genetic Structure of Modern Durum Wheat Cultivars and Mediterranean Landraces Matches with Their Agronomic Performance
(PLoS ONE, 2016-08-11)A collection of 172 durum wheat landraces from 21 Mediterranean countries and 20 modern cultivars were phenotyped in 6 environments for 14 traits including phenology, biomass, yield and yield omponents. ... -
Genetic variability of functional longevity in five rabbit lines
(Animal, 2020-01-22)The objectives of this study were to analyse the differences in the genetic determination of functional longevity in five Spanish lines of rabbits and to check how different systematic factors might ... -
Genetically superior European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and nutritional innovations: Effects of functional feeds on fish immune response, disease resistance, and gut microbiota
(Aquaculture Reports, 2023-09-21)The objective of this study was to determine if selected fish genotypes could benefit from the use of functional additives in novel aqua feed formulations to improve growth performance, gut microbiota, ... -
Genic and non-genic SNP contributions to additive and dominance genetic effects in purebred and crossbred pig traits
