Genetic modification (GM) in animal breeding represents a significant advancement in agricultural science, offering new ways to enhance animal traits and improve productivity. Traditionally, animal breeding relied on selective breeding, where individuals with desirable traits were chosen to produce the next generation. #GeneralAgriculture

🐮 🧬 Unlocking the Potential of Animal Breeding with High-quality Cattle Genome Reference Panel Did you know that cutting-edge #technology is revolutionizing the way we breed animals for improved traits? Innovatively, this work established a multi-breed reference panel with 61.8 million #SNPs based on 2976 worldwide cattle, the first publicly available high-quality reference panel containing 5952 cattle haplotypes (reference panel link https://lnkd.in/g5aggb_H). Key genes related to #diseaseresistance such as β-defensin are also discussed. Curious to delve deeper into cattle #genomicselection? 👉Read the collaborative work authored by Dr. Yu Jiang and Dr. Yudong Cai from Northwest A&F University, along with Dr. Yun Ma from Ningxia University.

Are local dual-purpose cattle breeds still valuable in mountain agriculture. We from Freie Universität Bozen think so. Therefore, we tried to provide a detailed phenotypic characterization of milk composition of local-dual purpose breeds to highlight their specificity and value for future breeding. Attached the paper of our study which was part of the national Dual Breeding project. #science and #practice #berglandwirtschaft #leidenschaft EAAP - European Federation of Animal Science ASPA - Associazione Per la Scienza e le Produzioni Animali AIA - Associazione Italiana Allevatori

Breeding - repeatability of traits Repeatability is a measure of the tendency of animals to maintain their ranking over time. It describes the accuracy with which early records of an animal's performance in a particular trait can predict its lifetime performance.

Standard deviation and Variance in animal breeding Standard Deviation The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are. Its symbol is \(the greek letter sigma\) The formula is easy: it is the square root of the Variance. So now you ask, "What is the Variance?" Variance The Variance is defined as: The average of the squared differences from the Mean. To calculate the variance follow these steps: Work out the Mean \(the simple average of the numbers\) Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result \(the squared difference\). Then work out the average of those squared differences. Youtube video: https://lnkd.in/dWucimM4 \#nikolays_genetics_lessons

Great success for the EAAP - European Federation of Animal Science congress ! About 2,000 participants attended the 98 different sessions in Florence, Italy. As a breeding organisation of Endangered Animal Breeds, check out the results of these three sessions : - Breeding scheme optimization: balancing breeding goal(s), genetic progress and diversity (session 2) - Breeding schemes for development of small populations (session 31), with a EURC EAB chair -The role of breeding and genetics in the sustainable transformation of the livestock sector (session 58), with FAO chairs. The congress was an opportunity to present the survey results about the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 concerning endangered breeds by the EURC EAB and a tool under developpement by the consortium, a generic measure of genetic relatedness of populations. #breedingorganisation #EURCEAB #ERFP

Exciting insights from the 2024 Sales Day events for Ram and Bull Sales in Australia are here! This year, we've observed fluctuating clearance rates as buyers become more selective, highlighting a shift towards quality over quantity. The focus on superior genetics and breeding practices has never been more evident, with breeders showcasing their commitment to excellence. In a competitive market, the trend towards well-documented breeding histories and robust animal health is crucial. These elements not only ensure the longevity and productivity of the rams but also provide buyers with the confidence they need to invest. Let's continue to push the boundaries of excellence in Sheep and Beef breeding and set new standards for the industry! #MerinoRams #BreedingExcellence #GeneticSuperiority #AgricultureInnovation #RamageRural
