Consequences of a simplified milk recording method on estimation of lactation yields and genetic evaluations for dairy traits in goats

The objectives of this study were: (1) to estimate addi- tive and dominance variance components for fertility and milk production traits in Holstein and Jersey cows using

The aim of this study was to augment the approximate multitrait method proposed by [4, 8] with a time effect to account for selection bias in predicted breeding values and

After 2 wk of age, additive genetic variance was associated with body weight increases, indicating that after this age the body weight of squabs is influenced by

The basic idea of the two methods is to sacrifice a determined area of sealed brood in the hive and to record how much the worker bees clean that area by removing dead larvae from it

Two resource populations are involved in a genome scan for primary QTL detection in dairy sheep: (i) a Sarda × Lacaune backcross population was generated on an experimental farm

The presence of cyanide and increased thiocyanate levels in the blood of the suck- ling kids from the experimental groups found in the present study demonstrates that both
