This study utilizes routine SNP data to investigate the chromosomal region associated with rob(1;29) and confirm the presence of a shared haplotype among carriers in diverse Italian breeds. Three datasets were employed: Dataset 1 included 151 subjects from 5 beef cattle ...
An overview of the sequential steps of the study is provided in Supplementary Fig.1. We first evaluated genetic relatedness and population structure based on genome-wide SNP-array derived genotypes among the Racing breeds (Arabian, Mongolian Racing and Thoroughbred) in the context of non-Racing bre...
Besides common candidate biomarkers of RFI regardless of the diet, our data strongly suggest that there may exist diet-specific metabolic pathways underlying RFI. Interestingly, among the only 4 metabolites showing significant RFI\(\times\)Diet interactions, three of them belonged to the family of B...
An abundant source of candidate SNPs is essential for designing SNP arrays, especially for large genomes like the C. carpio genome. When the dog SNP array was developed, more than 2.5 million potential SNPs were identified, with one SNP per 0.9 kb between breeds and one SNP per 1.5 kb ...
Feed efficiency (FE) related traits play a key role in the economy and sustainability of beef cattle production systems. The accurate knowledge of the physiologic background for FE-related traits can help the development of more efficient selection strat
The most abundant of the animals pastured under Common Rights today on the New Forest are the cattle and ponies. While the cattle are for the most part common everyday beef breeds, such as Hereford crdoi:10.1007/978-94-011-6081-0_3R. J. Putman...
Based on observed forage availabilities for the different years, there was some evidence in the study that lower nutritional levels increased effects of calving difficulty on subsequent reproduction. These data suggest that tall fescue reduces calving rates equally in both breeds and may be of some ...
Young bulls of lean continental cattle breeds raised on concentrates achieve high weight gains during fattening but may yield carcasses with low fat cover, which may have negative effects on meat quality. Fattening steers or heifers might be an alternative for these systems, but few studies have ...

Many deer and antelope milk samples were collected after hunting-related deaths of the animals, but the effects of post-mortem milk sampling on oligosaccharide concentrations is unknown. The milk oligosaccharide profiles of several porcine breeds have been analyzed, and while minimal variation has been...
