A Co-Association Network Analysis Reveals Putative Regulators for Health-Related Traits in Pigs
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-26)
In recent years, the increase in awareness of antimicrobial resistance together with the societal demand of healthier meat products have driven attention to health-related traits in livestock production. ...
Genome-wide association study for feed efficiency in collective cage-raised rabbits under full and restricted feeding
(Wiley, 2020-07-22)
Feed efficiency (FE) is one of the most economically and environmentally relevant traits in the animal production sector. The objective of this study was to gain knowledge about the genetic control of ...
Multi‑breed and multi‑trait co‑association analysis of meat tenderness and other meat quality traits in three French beef cattle breeds
(BMC, 2016-04-23)
Background: Studies to identify markers associated with beef tenderness have focused on Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) but the interplay between the genes associated with WBSF has not been explored. ...
Genic and non-genic SNP contributions to additive and dominance genetic effects in purebred and crossbred pig traits
(Nature Research, 2022-03-09)
The present research has estimated the additive and dominance genetic variances of genic and intergenic segments for average daily gain (ADG), backfat thickness (BFT) and pH of the semimembranosus dorsi ...
Supplementation of xylo-oligosaccharides to suckling piglets promotes the growth of fiber-degrading gut bacterial populations during the lactation and nursery periods
(Nature Research, 2022-07-08)
Modulating early-life microbial colonization through xylo-oligosacharides (XOS) supplementation represents an opportunity to accelerate the establishment of fiber-degrading microbial populations and ...
Genetic architecture of innate and adaptive immune cells in pigs
(Frontiers Media, 2023-02-06)
Pig industry is facing new challenges that make necessary to reorient breeding programs to produce more robust and resilient pig populations. The aim of the present work was to study the genetic determinism ...
Selection for feed efficiency using the social effects animal model in growing Duroc pigs: evaluation by simulation
(BMC, 2020-09-29)
Background
Traits recorded on animals that are raised in groups can be analysed with the social effects animal model (SAM). For multiple traits, this model specifies the genetic correlation structure ...
Segregation of Regulatory Polymorphisms with Effects on the Gluteus Medius Transcriptome in a Purebred Pig Population
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-24)
Background: The main goal of the present study was to analyse the genetic architecture of mRNA expression in muscle, a
tissue with an outmost economic importance for pig breeders. Previous studies have ...
Genome-wide linkage analysis of QTL for growth and body composition employing the PorcineSNP60 BeadChip
(BMC, 2012-05-20)
Background: The traditional strategy to map QTL is to use linkage analysis employing a limited number of markers.
These analyses report wide QTL confidence intervals, making very difficult to identify ...
Gut microbiome and resistome characterization of pigs treated with commonly used post-weaning diarrhea treatments
(BMC, 2024-05-03)
Background The global burden of antimicrobial resistance demands additional measures to ensure the sustainable
and conscious use of antimicrobials. For the swine industry, the post-weaning period is ...
