Improving initial trials in tree breeding using kinship and breeding values estimated in the wild: the case of Prosopis alba in Argentina
(Springer, 2015-05)
Most Argentinean forests have been lost by over exploitation and expansion of agricultural areas. The National breeding program for the native species Prosopis alba is still in its initial phase with only a few progeny ...
Characterization of bovine MHC DRB3 diversity in global cattle breeds, with a focus on cattle in Myanmar
(BioMed Central, 2020-09)
Background: Myanmar cattle populations predominantly consist of native cattle breeds (Pyer Sein and Shwe), characterized by their geographical location and coat color, and the Holstein-Friesian crossbreed, which is highly ...
Effects of breed proportion and components of heterosis for semen traits in a composite cattle breed
(2018-02-01)
The aim of this study was to estimate the non-additive genetic effects of the dominance component of heterosis as well as epistatic loss on semen traits in admixed Swiss Fleckvieh, a composite of Simmental (SI) and Red ...
Assessment of pedigree information in the Quarter Horse: Population, breeding and genetic diversity
(2018-08-01)
This study aimed to evaluate population parameters and to describe the genetic diversity of Quarter Horse breed (QH) in Brazil, reported for the first time in the literature. The pedigree data comprised 131,716 animals ...
Poor body conditions during the breeding period in a seabird population with low breeding success
(Springer, 2018-09)
Breeding has a high energetic cost and, in central place foragers, also restricts the ability of parents for self-foraging, with affecting on their body and immunological conditions. In migratory species, breeding overlaps ...
Genomic analysis for managing small and endangered populations: a case study in Tyrol Grey cattle
(Frontiers In Genetics, 2015)
Analysis of genomic data is increasingly becoming part of the livestock industry. Therefore, the routine collection of genomic information would be an invaluable resource for effective management of breeding programs in ...

(2005-12-01)
The present paper deals with estimation of variance components, prediction of breeding values and selection in a population of rubber tree [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. de Juss.) Müell.-Arg.] from Rio Branco, State ...
