Influence of pre-storage incubation on hatchability traits, thyroid hormones, antioxidative status and immunity of newly hatched chicks at two chicken breeder flock ages
(Elsevier, 2017-04-17)
Egg storage longer than 7 days is associated with negative effects on hatchability traits. Pre-storage incubation has been a suggested method to reduce the negative effects of long-term storage times ...
Integrating genome-wide co-association and gene expression to identify putative regulators and predictors of feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-09-02)
Background: Feed efciency (FE) has a major impact on the economic sustainability of pig production. We used a
systems‑based approach that integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) co‑association ...
Longitudinal analysis of direct and indirect effects on average daily gain in rabbits using a structured antedependence model
(BMC, 2018-05-10)
Background: Indirect genetic efects (IGE) are important components of various traits in several species. Although
the intensity of social interactions between partners likely vary over time, very few ...
Diversity across major and candidate genes in European local pig breeds
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11-20)
The aim of this work was to analyse the distribution of causal and candidate mutations associated to relevant productive traits in twenty local European pig breeds. Also, the potential of the SNP panel ...
Sequence-based GWAS, network and pathway analyses reveal genes co-associated with milk cheese-making properties and milk composition in Montbéliarde cows
(BMC, 2019-07-01)
Background
Milk quality in dairy cattle is routinely assessed via analysis of mid-infrared (MIR) spectra; this approach can also be used to predict the milk’s cheese-making properties (CMP) and ...
Integration of GWAS, pathway and network analyses reveals novel mechanistic insights into the synthesis of milk proteins in dairy cows
(Nature Research, 2018-01-12)
The quantities and proportions of protein fractions have notable effects on the nutritional and technological value of milk. Although much is known about the effects of genetic variants on milk proteins, ...
Malignant infarction of the middle cerebral artery in a porcine model. A pilot study
(Public Library of Science, 2017-02-24)
Background and purpose. Interspecies variability and poor clinical translation from rodent studies indicate that large gyrencephalic animal stroke models are urgently needed. We present a proof-of-principle ...
GWA Analysis for Milk Production Traits in Dairy Sheep and Genetic Support for a QTN Influencing Milk Protein Percentage in the LALBA Gene
(Public Library of Science, 2012-10-18)
In this study, we used the Illumina OvineSNP50 BeadChip to conduct a genome-wide association (GWA) analysis for milk
production traits in dairy sheep by analyzing a commercial population of Spanish ...
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 ...
Study of using marker assisted selection on a beef cattle breeding program by model comparison
(Elsevier, 2012-03-31)
A data set of a commercial Nellore beef cattle selection program was used to compare
breeding models that assumed or not markers effects to estimate the breeding values,
when a reduced number of animals ...
