Substantial variability in measurements associated with parasite infection in both breeds indicated potential to improve parasite resistance.
We examined the genomic regions harbouring the 37 QTL that were detected in at least four of the breeds for potential candidate genes underlying meat tenderness.
Since announcing the contest last month, a new breed of potential owner has started showing up for a tour of Beef Eaters.
The recent death of Gianroberto Casaleggio, who was the real mastermind of M5S, and the decision of Beppe Grillo, the comedian-turned-politician and founder of the movement, to distance himself from the party, have both allowed a breed of potential new leaders, such as Raggi and Appendino, to rise.
However, the trade-offs with shifting to exotic breeds, particularly the potential loss of genetic diversity resulting from loss of indigenous breeds (Barker 2001), need to be considered.
The aim of this study was to describe the suckling behaviour of two zebu (Bos indicus) and one criollo (Bos taurus) breeds, analysing the potential effects of breed and some environmental factors on suckling frequency and duration.
The latter large increase is due to modernization of swine production in that region, including use of improved breeds with larger potential body mass, changing animal diet, and in particular a shift from dry manure management systems to anaerobic lagoons.
In addition, we re-sequenced pigs from commercial breeds to identify potential candidate mutations responsible for phenotypic divergence among these groups of breeds.
To our knowledge, there are few studies comparing the oocyte quality in different cattle breeds as a potential factor for fertility.
Migrant contributions could be substantially decreased for these three breeds, but the potential to increase the native genome equivalents is limited.
