The Importance of Groves for Cattle in Semi-Open Pastures
Groves are of ecological importance, but can reduce the productivity of pastures. They may be used by cattle for nutrition as well as for comfort and shelter. To describe the importance and to estimate the influence of cattle on groves, the behavior of cattle around trees and shrubs was observed on six semi-open pastures in the mountain range of Thuringia and the Southern Black Forest (Germany)...
متن کاملCattle genomics and its implications for future nutritional strategies for dairy cattle.
The recently sequenced cattle (Bos taurus) genome unraveled the unique genomic features of the species and provided the molecular basis for applying a systemic approach to systematically link genomic information to metabolic traits. Comparative analysis has identified a variety of evolutionary adaptive features in the cattle genome, such as an expansion of the gene families related to the rumen...
متن کاملHow is genomics changing cattle breeding ?
Abstract Text: Genomic selection offers considerable flexibility to increase genetic trends in dairy cattle breeding, through a decrease in generation interval, an increase in selection intensity, and an increase in reliability for females and for low heritability traits. It is also an opportunity for more sustainable breeding, in terms of breeding goal and genetic variability. With a shorter g...
متن کاملBreeding Objectives Indicate Value of Genomics for Beef Cattle
A well-defined breeding objective provides commercial producers a mechanism for extracting value from the investment in genomics by seedstock producers. Advantages of genomic prediction include increased accuracy of expected progeny differences (EPDs) for traits that have been components of routine genetic evaluations. Perhaps more importantly, genomic prediction makes it possible to include tr...
متن کاملForage Mixture Productivity and Botanical Composition in Pastures Grazed by Dairy Cattle
the plant diversity of natural grassland communities, some producers in the Northeast often plant complex Some producers believe that planting pastures to several forage mixtures of grasses and legumes (Tracy and Sanderson, species benefits sustainability of grazing systems. We conducted a grazing study to determine if forage species diversity in pastures affects 2000; Sanderson et al., 2001) b...
