Accurate mathematical models to describe the lactation curve of Lacaune dairy sheep under intensive management.
Although the intensive production system of Lacaune dairy sheep is the only profitable method for producers outside of the French Roquefort area, little is known about this type of systems. This study evaluated yield records of 3677 Lacaune sheep under intensive management between 2005 and 2010 in order to describe the lactation curve of this breed and to investigate the suitability of differen...
متن کاملApplication of Selection Mapping to Identify Genomic Regions Associated with Dairy Production in Sheep
In Europe, especially in Mediterranean areas, the sheep has been traditionally exploited as a dual purpose species, with income from both meat and milk. Modernization of husbandry methods and the establishment of breeding schemes focused on milk production have led to the development of "dairy breeds." This study investigated selective sweeps specifically related to dairy production in sheep by...

Selection for breeding animals as parents of next generation, based on genetic analyses of most important traits, became a standard for selection practices in most of the farm animal species in Slovakia. In this respect, about ten years of experience could be traced in Slovakian dairy cattle (Candrák et al., 1997) and pigs (Groeneveld and Peškovičová, 1999 and Peškovičová et. al., 1999). First ...
متن کاملGenomic Selection in Dairy Cattle: The USDA Experience.
Genomic selection has revolutionized dairy cattle breeding. Since 2000, assays have been developed to genotype large numbers of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at relatively low cost. The first commercial SNP genotyping chip was released with a set of 54,001 SNPs in December 2007. Over 15,000 genotypes were used to determine which SNPs should be used in genomic evaluation of US dairy cat...
