How is genomics changing cattle breeding ?
Abstract Text: Genomic selection offers considerable flexibility to increase genetic trends in dairy cattle breeding, through a decrease in generation interval, an increase in selection intensity, and an increase in reliability for females and for low heritability traits. It is also an opportunity for more sustainable breeding, in terms of breeding goal and genetic variability. With a shorter g...
متن کاملBreeding Objectives Indicate Value of Genomics for Beef Cattle
A well-defined breeding objective provides commercial producers a mechanism for extracting value from the investment in genomics by seedstock producers. Advantages of genomic prediction include increased accuracy of expected progeny differences (EPDs) for traits that have been components of routine genetic evaluations. Perhaps more importantly, genomic prediction makes it possible to include tr...
متن کاملBeef cattle breeding in Australia with genomics: opportunities and needs
Opportunities exist in beef cattle breeding to significantly increase the rates of genetic gain by increasing the accuracy of selection at earlier ages. Currently, selection of young beef bulls incorporates several economically important traits but estimated breeding values for these traits have a large range in accuracies. While there is potential to increase accuracy through increased levels ...
متن کاملBreeding and Genetics: Dairy Cattle Breeding II– Applied molecular biology and genomics
The objective of the present study was to assess the effects of genomic inbreeding on production, reproduction, and udder health in Holstein dairy cows. First and second lactation data were collected from 1,061 Holstein dairy cows, which were born between 2006 and 2008, from 5 commercial herds across the United States. All cows were genotyped for 54,609 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mark...
متن کاملHow is Precipitation Changing?
Observations show that changes are occurring in the amount, intensity, frequency and type of precipitation. These aspects of precipitation generally exhibit large natural variability, and El Niño and changes in atmospheric circulation patterns such as the North Atlantic Oscillation have a substantial influence. Pronounced longterm trends from 1900 to 2005 have been observed in precipitation amo...
