Dog genomes produced by public and private efforts on two different breeds of dog, boxer and poodle showed no differences between the breeds, nor did we find any difference when we separately amplified and sequenced the dog TAAR1 from genomic DNA isolated from MDCK cells, a cell line derived from the kidney of a cocker spaniel.
Throughout two summers, 256 feedlot heifers of four different breeds were observed.
This study was designed to describe the changes in conformation of the carpus and distal forelimb from birth to weaning in foals of three different breeds.
Nonetheless, we are able to show strong associations to two genomic locations, including one where a genotype consistently gives 2 3 fold protection in each of nine different breeds.
Calves were sired by natural service with ten bulls of three different breeds, providing a broad genetic background.
The control bulls were of three different breeds (Charolais (n = 6), Limousin (n = 3), Simmental (n = 2)), with a mean age of 4.5 years (range 2 9 years).
The control group comprised of 11 clinically healthy bitches of six different breeds including mixed breed dogs, aged 2 4 years, BW 5 15 kg (mean BW 10.9 ± 4.3 kg), and a BCS of 3 admitted for elective OHE (spaying).
The ten bitches with pyometra of eight different breeds, mean age 7.6 years (range 5 12 years), were clinically examined and diagnosed at the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, from May 2001 to August 2002.
The bulls were of five different breeds, Charolais (n = 15), Simmental (n = 7), Limousin (n = 6), Hereford (n = 5) and Angus (n = 1), and the mean age was 2.5 years (range 1 7 years).
