Abstract:
The aim was to evaluate the effect of polymorphisms in the promoter and in the coding region of the DGAT1 gene on the estimated breeding values (EBV) of Czech Simmental sires. The K232A polymorphism (n = 191) in the coding region was genotyped by PCR/RFLP, and the KU and SA polymorphisms in the promoter (n = 203) were identified in an automatic sequencer. In the K232A polymorphism, the frequency of the genotype AA (Alanine) was greater than that of the genotype KA, the homozygous genotype KK (Lysine) was not found. Similarly, the allele A predominated over the K allele (0.945 and 0.055). The E

Abstract:
Abstract Previous studies have shown that the accuracy of Genomic Estimated Breeding Value (GEBV) as a predictor of future performance is higher than the traditional Estimated Breeding Value (EBV). The purpose of this study was to estimate the potential advantage of selection on GEBV for litter size (LS) compared to selection on EBV in the Canadian swine dam line breeds. The study included 236 Landrace and 210 Yorkshire gilts born in 2017 which had their first farrowing after 2017. GEBV and EBV for LS were calculated with data that was available at the end of 2017 (GEBV2017 and EBV2017, respec

Abstract:
A numerator relationship matrix (Ac) due to sires and dams was compared with a numerator relationship matrix (Ai) due to sires and maternal grandsires in a multiple-trait-reduced animal model (MT-RAM). Best linear unbiased predictors of estimated breeding values (EBV) for 200-d weight (WW) and postweaning gain (PG) (gain from 200 to 365 d of age) were estimated from data simulating a beef cattle population. As expected, mean EBV and bias (EBV-BV) for both traits were not significantly affected by different relationship matrices. The mean variances of EBV with Ac were larger than those with Ai

Abstract. Introducing resistance to mastitis into breeding programmes for dairy cattle seems to be one of the possible methods for limiting the increasing number of mastitis cases. Looking for candidate genes for genetic markers is one of the strategies. The BoLA–DRB3 alleles have considerable promise as potential mastitis marker. The objective of the study was to evaluate relationships between two BoLA–DRB3 alleles (BoLA–DRB3.2*16 and BoLA-DRB3.2*23) and estimated breeding value (EBV) for somatic cell count (SCC) in Polish dairy cattle.

Abstract:
Abstract Over the past two years of mating high (Hi) or low (Lo) fecal egg count (FEC) EBV Katahdin rams randomly mated to Katahdin ewes, reduced FEC in lambs has been the hallmark trait observable at weaning. Upon additional analysis, death loss in lambs also segregated with sire FEC EBV; whereas, HiFEC-sired lambs had a death loss of 29.9% in 2018 and 14.5% in 2019. Yet, LoFEC-sired lambs had a death loss of 10% in both years. Increased death loss in 2018 may have been due to an outbreak of Clostridium perfringens Type-A and as a result lambs in 2019 were vaccinated for Clostridium type A. R

Abstract:
Animal breeders are interested in the genetic worth or total genetic merit of an animal for a given trait. The value of an animal in a breeding program for a particular trait is called the breeding value. The aim of this study was to predict the breeding values for bodyweight of grasscutters at 4, 6 and 8 months of age using univariate animal model. Four families of grasscutters with five grasscutters per family were used for the study. Families 3 and 4 had higher bodyweight at 4 and 6 months compared with families 1 and 2. Family 4 had the highest bodyweight at 8 month and family 2 had the le

The objective of the study was to relate estimated breeding values (EBVs) of the parents’ 305-days protein production and the bull dam herd-year characteristics to the empirical bias in pedigree indices (difference between the pedigree index and the final proof) of young bulls. Two animal model evaluations were carried out; one included records up to 1990 and the other up to spring 1992. The final data set included 242 bulls with pedigree indices, final proofs, parents’ EBVs, production and herd information (the size, the average production and the intraherd standard deviation) of the dams.

The purpose of this study was to determine if estimated breeding value (EBV) of an animal’s sire and or the animal’s nutrition affected the structure of its M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LL) and, hence, the eating quality of meat derived from its carcass. Lambs were chosen based on the EBV of their sires in terms of post-weaning live weight (PWWT), post weaning fat at the C-site (PFAT), and post-weaning eye muscle depth (PEMD). Morphometric techniques were used to characterise muscle structure in terms of the distribution of intramuscular connective tissue; the variables together are ca

Abstract:
In terms of numbers and volume of meat produced, the Chinese beef industry is one of the largest in the world. Development of the industry has only occurred within the last thirty years, and despite extensive cross-breeding programs with imported breeds, performance of Chinese cattle is low, and the industry is still subject to traditional farming methods. This study looks at the Australian-developed genetic evaluation system BREEDPLAN, which is regarded worldwide as one of the best systems for assisting with selection of beef cattle for increased performance by evaluating genetics and identif

This work focuses on the evaluation of a bagging EB method in terms of its ability to select a subset of QTL-related markers for accurate EBV prediction. Experiments were performed on several simulated and real datasets consisting of SNP genotypes and phenotypes. The simulated datasets modeled different dominance levels and different levels of background noises. Our results show that the bagging EB method is able to detect most of the simulated QTL, even with large background noises. The average recall of QTL detection was $0.71$.

Abstract:
Coffea arabica L. is a native coffee species probably originated in Abyssinia, now Ethiopia. The genetic diversity of C. arabica has economic implications directly related to profits by breeding for developing new varieties to a global market. The economic value of C. arabica genetic resources are estimated at US$ 420 million, considered a 10% discount rate. Understanding the extent of traits variability and genetic diversity is essential to guide crosses between genotypes, targeting the development of new varieties with high economic value. This chapter will present the C. arabica economic importance, primarily to Brazil, the most significant world producer; we will outline the origin and dispersion of arabica coffee and briefly show the leading germplasm banks. We will also point out contribution of genetic diversity studies based on morphological, agronomic traits, and molecular markers supporting the development of new varieties. Finally, we present an outline for the future.
