Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationship between Indigenous Cattle Breeds
Zebu breeds of cattle from southern part of India are well known for their adaptability to extreme climatic conditions, draught efficiency, disease resistance and poor nutritional environment. Selection of appropriate populations for conservation of such genetic resources is needed in view of preventing rapid erosion of animal genetic resources. Estimation of genetic diversity is essential to d...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity among European Cattle Breeds
Over the centuries since mankind first started farming, genetic variation has allowed the selection of the improved crops and livestock that have fed an ever increasing population. Maintaining genetic variation is crucial if we want to continue to improve our livestock and respond to changes in climate, disease or consumer preferences. This article describes work at the Roslin Institute on the ...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Bottleneck Analysis of Indigenous Grey Cattle Breeds of India Based on Microsatellite Data
Bovine microsatellite data of 21 loci was used for the assessment of genetic diversity and bottleneck analysis of 10 indigenous grey cattle breeds from different agroclimatic regions of India. A total of 448 alleles were observed across 21 loci and the observed number of alleles varied from 11 (INRA 05) to 35 (ILSTS-05). The overall observed and expected heterozygosity was 0.722 and 0.802, the ...
متن کاملOrigins and genetic diversity of British cattle breeds in Brazil assessed by pedigree analyses.
Pedigree information available for Angus (ANG), Devon (DEV), Hereford (HER), and Shorthorn (SHO) cattle in Brazil was analyzed to appraise the genetic diversity and population structure of these breeds. Pedigree records collected from the beginning of the 20th century until 2010 were used in the analyses. Over time, the number of herdbook registrations declined in HER after a peak in the 1970s,...
متن کاملGenome-wide genetic diversity, population structure and admixture analysis in African and Asian cattle breeds.
Knowledge about genetic diversity and population structure is useful for designing effective strategies to improve the production, management and conservation of farm animal genetic resources. Here, we present a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of genetic diversity, population structure and admixture based on 244 animals sampled from 10 cattle populations in Asia and Africa and genotyped for ...
