Risk factors and genetic parameters of longevity in Spanish dairy goat breeds using a Weibull proportional hazards model
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-12-07)
The aim of this study was to assess the most important risk factors that influence productive life (PL) and to estimate genetic parameters for PL using a Weibull proportional hazards model in two Spanish ...
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 ...
An association analysis between a polymorphism in the SEC24A gene and lipid traits recorded in Duroc pigs
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021-10-05)
By regulating the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR), the SEC24A protein modulates the clearance of plasma cholesterol in mice. The whole-genome sequencing of five Duroc boars that ...
Comparison of behaviour, performance and mortality in restricted and ad libitum-fed growing rabbits
(Elsevier, 2015-03-02)
The objective of this study was to determine whether rabbits fed in a restricted regimen (75%) showed increased competition for feeding, drinking and use of specific areas of the cages as compared with ...
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 ...
SNP co-association and network analyses identify E2F3, KDM5A and BACH2 as key regulators of the bovine milk fatty acid profile
(Nature Research, 2017-12-11)
The fatty acid (FA) profle has a considerable impact on the nutritional and technological quality of milk
and dairy products. The molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of fat metabolism in ...
Priming for welfare: gut microbiota is associated with equitation conditions and behavior in horse athletes
(Nature Research, 2020-05-20)
We simultaneously measured the fecal microbiota and multiple environmental and host-related variables in a cohort of 185 healthy horses reared in similar conditions during a period of eight months. The ...
Single-step genome-wide association study for social genetic effects and direct genetic effects on growth in Landrace pigs
(Nature Research, 2020-09-11)
In livestock social interactions, social genetic effects (SGE) represent associations between phenotype of one individual and genotype of another. Such associations occur when the trait of interest is ...
Transcriptional Characterization of Porcine Leptin and Leptin Receptor Genes
(Public Library of Science, 2013-06-18)
The leptin (LEP) and its receptor (LEPR) regulate food intake and energy balance through hypothalamic signaling. However, the LEP-LEPR axis seems to be more complex and its expression regulation has not ...
Association between the pig genome and its gut microbiota composition
(Nature Research, 2019-06-19)
The gut microbiota has been evolving with its host along the time creating a symbiotic relationship. In this study, we assess the role of the host genome in the modulation of the microbiota composition ...
