Breeding and Genetics: Dairy Cattle
Protein-damaging stresses, including heat shock, cold, altered pH and oxygen deprivation induce the expression of a subgroup of molecular chaperones, called heat shock proteins (Hsp), which consist of several protein families designated by their molecular weight, such as the Hsp90, Hsp70, Hsp60, and the small Hsp (sHsp) families. Small heat shock proteins (sHsp) with a molecular mass of 15–30 k...
متن کاملBreeding and Genetics: Dairy Cattle Breeding I
Humans obtain a number of products from animals. These include food, clothing, medical materials, companionship and research knowledge to name a few. A valued ethic contends that it is inappropriate for one to treat another as a means to an end. In short, it is wrong to treat another as simply a product. Historically, non-human beings have not been included as “others” and thus their treatment ...
متن کاملGenetics of Tuberculosis in Irish Dairy Cattle
There is a lack of information on genetic parameters for tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility in dairy cattle. Mycobacterium bovis is the primary agent of tuberculosis in cattle.The objective of this study was to quantify the genetic variation present among Irish Holstein Friesian dairy cattle in their susceptibility to M. bovis infection. A total of 15,182 cow and 8,104 heifer single intradermal c...
متن کاملGenetics of resistance to mastitis in dairy cattle.
Genetic variability of mastitis resistance is well established in dairy cattle. Many studies focused on polygenic variation of the trait, by estimating heritabilities and genetic correlation among phenotypic traits related to mastitis such as somatic cell counts and clinical cases. The role of Major Histocompatibility Complex in the susceptibility or resistance to intrammamary infection is also...
متن کاملThe Use of Genetics to Improve Dairy Cattle Welfare
For many years selective breeding has been used to improve production in our livestock animals. Recently with the public becoming more concerned with the welfare of our livestock animals ways in which we can improve animal welfare has been a growing topic. For animals to have good welfare, it follows that they need to be in good health. This study looked at the way to improve welfare in dairy c...
