To distinguish between regions where domestic populations are mainly descended from local wild stock and those where horses were largely imported, we investigated patterns of genetic diversity in 24 European horse breeds typed at 12 microsatellite loci.
Matrix of SNP genotypes of 288 samples from 46 dog breeds typed at 123 SNPs.
Breed types significantly differed in the yield of most-valuable boneless cuts.
They may conform to the breed types of several light breeds, such as Arabian or American Quarter horse.
The dog is believed to be a bull breed type with white markings on its front leg and chest.
As a result, RCVS members are now advised not to dock "merely on request or just because the dog is of a particular breed, type or conformation".
The availability of diverse cattle breed resources with adaptive and productive differences will allow breed types to be matched to different environments, management capabilities and markets.
The objective of this study was to compare the stocker and feedlot performance of beef heifers of different tropically adapted breed types.
Fixed effects of breed type, litter size born, parity of dam and initial age of kid as a linear covariate were added to the model for growth traits.
The effect of weight may have influenced MCL geometrical and biomechanical properties, and consequently, the differences observed may be due to breed type and/or animal weight.
