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 ...
Advantages of using economic weights in animal production
(Universidad de Caldas, 2018-12-26)
Introduction: The economic evaluation of the
production systems can be performed using the gain function technique. Objective:To
carry out a review of the literature on the use of the profit function ...
Interrelation between gut microbiota, SCFA, and fatty acid composition in pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-12-14)
The gut microbiota is a key player in the host metabolism. Some bacteria are able to ferment non-digestible compounds and produce short-chain fatty acids that the host can later transform and accumulate ...
Early socialization and environmental enrichment of lactating piglets affects the caecal microbiota and metabolomic response after weaning
(Nature Research, 2021-03-17)
The aim of this study was to determine the possible impact of early socialization and an enriched neonatal environment to improve adaptation of piglets to weaning. We hypothesized that changes in the ...
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, ...
Five genomic regions have a major impact on fat composition in Iberian pigs
(Nature Research, 2019-02-14)
The adipogenic nature of the Iberian pig defines many quality attributes of its fresh meat and dry-cured products. The distinct varieties of Iberian pig exhibit great variability in the genetic parameters ...
Modeling microRNA-driven post-transcriptional regulation using exon–intron split analysis in pigs
(Wiley, 2022-07-10)
The contribution of microRNAs (miRNAs) to mRNA post-transcriptional regulation has often been explored by the post hoc selection of downregulated genes and determining whether they harbor binding sites ...
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 ...
Endometrial gene expression profile of pregnant sows with extreme phenotypes for reproductive efficiency
(Nature Research, 2015-10-05)
Prolificacy can directly impact porcine profitability, but large genetic variation and low heritability have been found regarding litter size among porcine breeds. To identify key differences in gene ...
Parámetros genéticos de rasgos productivos de cuyes (Cavia porcellus) de las líneas Saños y Mantaro
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, 2022-06-29)
El objetivo del estudio fue estimar los componentes de varianzas, la heredabilidad y correlaciones genéticas y fenotípicas de los rasgos productivos de las líneas de cuyes Saños y Mantaro, desarrolladas ...
