A breeding program to improve income from Raeini cashmere herds run by nomads in Southern Iran was implemented. Eight nomads agreed on improving fleece weight, body weight and down yield while reducing cashmere fibre ...

A commercial breeding nucleus of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) was established in Chile in 1997. This nucleus consists of two independent populations corresponding to different year-classes (even and odd, depending ...

Acute and non-compressive disc extrusion is characterized by the acute character of extrusion of the nucleus pulposus without real compression of the spine. It has been called low-volume and high speed disc herniation or ...

The rates of genetic gain and inbreeding were examined in alternative breeding designs of rainbow trout with different mating ratios, variable number of individuals measured and different number of traits included in a ...

Due to the exclusively maternal inheritance of mitochondria, mitochondrial genotypes can be coupled to a particular nuclear genotype by continuous mating of founder females and their female offspring to males of the desired ...

This study evaluated the population structure of sheep without wool from the conservation nucleus in Ceara State, Brazil. Population parameters were estimated on genealogical records of Santa Ines (SI), Somali (SO,) and ...

Plant cells carry their genetic information in three compartments: the nucleus, the plastids and the mitochondria. In last years, next-generation sequencing has allowed the development of genomic databases, which are ...

The potential of selection in stages to increase genetic gain and profit in rainbow trout breeding was assessed. The theory of Cochran was utilized to predict genetic gains under alternative breeding schemes mimicking the ...

Un programa de cría para mejorar los ingresos de los rebaños de cachemira Raeini dirigidos por nómadas en el sur de Irán se puso en práctica. Ocho nómadas estuvieron de acuerdo en mejorar el peso del cuerpo y el rendimiento ...
