Industry benefits from recent genetic progress in sheep and beef populations.
An analytical model that evaluates the benefits from 10 years of genetic improvement over a 20-year time frame was specified. Estimates of recent genetic trends in recorded traits, industry statistics and published estimates of the economic values of trait changes were used to parameterise the model for the UK sheep and beef industries. Despite rates of genetic change in the relevant performanc...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Allergen Immunotherapy
The efficacy of allergen immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with or without seasonal bronchial asthma and anaphylaxis caused by the sting of the hymenoptera class of insects has been clearly demonstrated in numerous well-designed, placebo-controlled trials. Immunotherapy whether by subcutaneous injection of allergen extract or by oral/sublingual routes modifies peri...
متن کاملLifting beef industry productivity through genetic improvement – progress and challenges in a changing climate
Steve A. Barwick Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit, Armidale NSW 2351 (a joint venture of Industry & Investment NSW and the University of New England) [email protected] Abstract: Beef breeding needs to respond to numerous challenges if it is to help lift industry productivity in the face of likely declines in the production environment and other pressures. A brief summary of som...
متن کاملExpected increases in genetic merit from using optimized contributions in two livestock populations of beef cattle and sheep.
The expected benefits from optimized selection in real livestock populations were evaluated by applying dynamic selection algorithms to two livestock populations of sheep (Meatlinc) and beef cattle (Aberdeen Angus). In addition, the effects of introducing BLUP evaluations on the population structure, genetic gain, and inbreeding were investigated. The use of BLUP-EBV accelerated the rates of ga...
متن کاملGenetic Relationships among Four Saudi Arabian Sheep Populations
Four Saudi Arabian indigenous sheep populations including Najdi, Hbsi, Arb, and Naemi were genotyped for 16 microsatellite markers recommended by the food and agriculture organization (FAO). This study aims to provide information on the genetic structure of the breeds analyzed and give indications and proposals for the cross breeding program. All loci were polymorphic in all populations and loc...
