For regions in the southern United States, reproductive performance is reduced for cows calving in the spring and summer, with milk production depressed for cows that calve in the summer and autumn. During heat stress, dairy cows exhibit shorter less intense periods of oestrus (as much as 6–...
Globally, almost 1.3 billion people depend on livestock for their livelihood, with cattle providing a significant source of nutrition to over 6 billion people [1]. However, infectious diseases are a major global constraint to cattle production, with many diseases being zoonotic and consequently also ...
In these regions, the local horses that existed were primarily the crosses of the local animals and the feral breeds that had a good sense of cows and cattle, and hence, were well-suited with the farmers and the cowboys of the region. It was these western horses that further contributed ...
Indigenous Iranian horse breeds were evolutionarily affected by natural and artificial selection in distinct phylogeographic clades, which shaped their genomes in several unique ways. The aims of this study were to evaluate the genetic diversity and geno

However, modern breeding practices commonly used in the cattle industry include artificial insem- ination and hybridization of breeds (thereby introducing more variation in CNVs), for example, when importing foreign ex- cellent cattle sperm for insemination of Chinese cows (Li, X...
domestic goats have evolved into many distinct breeds (e.g., dairy, meat and fiber breeds), mainly as a result of long-term artificial selection2. In turn, this selection might have left genetic footprints in the goat genome, reflecting a phenotypic evolution driven by different breeding object...
