Reproductive Technologies and Genomic Selection in Cattle
The recent development of genomic selection induces dramatic changes in the way genetic selection schemes are to be conducted. This review describes the new context and corresponding needs for genomic based selection schemes and how reproductive technologies can be used to meet those needs. Information brought by reproductive physiology will provide new markers and new improved phenotypes that ...

متن کاملGenomic Selection in Nelore Cattle in Brazil
Despite a favorable business model, genomic selection is still not a popular tool for genetic improvement of Nelore cattle in Brazil mainly due to the lack of a costeffective strategy for its application. Different independent Nelore breeding programs have already developed prediction equations for usual and difficult/expensive to measure traits. Unfortunately, some programs are using genomic p...
متن کاملControl of ovarian function for assisted reproductive technologies in cattle
Although the discovery that follicles in bovine ovaries grow in a wave-like fashion has presented challenges for estrus synchronization and superovulation, recent protocols, designed to control follicular function have permitted fixed-time AI or fixed-time embryo transfer with high pregnancy rates, and the initiation of superstimulatory treatments at a self-appointed time, all without the neces...
متن کاملImpact of reproductive technologies on improved genetics in beef cattle
Introduction Domestication of food producing animals has led to the desire by humans to control reproduction so as to enhance production of the products (e.g., meat) from these animals. Domestication of cattle is estimated to have started about 10,000 years ago (Bradley et al., 1998). Controlled reproduction by regulating mating patterns, through use of natural breeding, has long been practiced...
