Estimation of genetic and crossbreeding parameters for preweaning traits in German Angus and Simmental beef cattle and the reciprocal crosses.
Data from pure breeds, as well as reciprocal crosses of German Angus (GA) and Simmental (SIM) beef cattle, were used to estimate genetic parameters and to evaluate the suitability for crossbreeding in terms of increasing productivity. Traits of interest were calving difficulty, birth weight (BWT), weaning weight (WWT), and ADG from birth to weaning. Data were collected over a period of 7 yr fro...
متن کاملConsidering Crossbreeding
High calf and feeder cattle prices during the past couple of years have helped many of Missouri’s cowcalf producers achieve profitability. Even though many cattle producer’s operations are profitable, work should continue to improve the economic position of the farm or ranch. Profitability may be enhanced by increasing the volume of production (i.e. the pounds of calves you market) and/or the v...
متن کاملEstimation of transmission parameters of a fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli strain between pigs in experimental conditions
Antimicrobial resistance is of primary importance regarding public and animal health issues. Persistence and spread of resistant strains within a population contribute to the maintenance of a reservoir and lead to treatment failure. An experimental trial was carried out to study the horizontal transmission of a fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli strain from inoculated to naïve pigs. All...
متن کاملEstimation of genetic and phenotypic parameters for sow productivity traits in South African Large White pigs
________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The objective of the study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for sow productivity traits of South African Large White pigs, using data from the Integrated Registration and Genetic Information Systems. The analyses were done on 29 719 records for 7 983 sows from 29 herds, which farrowed betw...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Parameters in the Exponentiated Gumbel Distribution
Abstract: The Exponentiated Gumbel (EG) distribution has been proposed to capture some aspects of the data that the Gumbel distribution fails to specify. In this paper, we estimate the EG's parameters in the Bayesian framework. We consider a 2-level hierarchical structure for prior distribution. As the posterior distributions do not admit a closed form, we do an approximated inference by using ...
