- Abstract:
- ... Domestication and selection are the major driving forces responsible for the determinative genetic variability in livestock. These selection patterns create unique genetic signatures within the genome. BovineSNP50 chip data from 236 animals (seven indicine and five taurine cattle breeds) were analyzed in the present study. We implemented three complementary approaches viz. iHS (Integrated haplotyp ...

- Abstract:
- ... Cattle and buffaloes, popular protein sources worldwide, are intermediate hosts for several Sarcocystis species. These coccidian protozoans cause sarcocystosis resulting in subclinical and chronic infections in striated muscles by forming macrocysts or microcysts. In Thailand, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and Cambodia, Sarcocystis species have been reported, but molecular identification has b ...

- Abstract:
- ... Many studies on beef nutritional qualities require the quantification of intramuscular fat. To reduce the sample amount, solvent use and time of analysis, two alternative methods to the Folch et al. (1957) reference method were studied: a miniaturised Folch’s method and a near-infrared spectroscopic method. Performances and acceptability limits were evaluated with accuracy profiles for each of the ...

- Abstract:
- ... Cattle production in southwestern Burkina Faso is under pressure because of resource scarcity, changing climate, and cattle diseases. Well-adapted local breeds, such as Lobi taurine cattle, are increasingly replaced by more productive exotic breeds. Community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) could be a viable option for preserving the breed and improving its productivity. Presuming that CBBPs would ...

And the coat conformation affects heat tolarence in mammals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the KRT75 gene and further evaluate its relation to heat stress in Chinese cattle. A missense mutation ...

We show how breed varieties are designed, informed by the social, material and moral embeddedness of cattle breeding associations’ visions of the future and how they draw on science and technology in their breeding strategies. Based on an analysis of the trade magazine ...

- Abstract:
- ... As human populaces develop, they are progressively squeezed into higher living densities. The same is true for horticulture and animals expected to bolster these communities. Despite the high potential for zoonotic transmission, connections among humans and cattle have been understudied; however, Candida albicans remains the most important medical mycosis. The genesis of the mycobiome can vary, an ...

This study investigated the genetic variation and haplotype combination in CRTC3 and verified their contribution to bovine growth traits. Firstly, investigated the mRNA expression of CRTC3 in adult Qinchuan cattle and evaluated the effects that genetic variation of CRTC3 had on conformation ...
