Description and Use of Animal Breeding Data for Large Least Squares Problems

Some large rectangular matrices used in animal breeding are presented. We describe how to generate these matrices from the data supplied by animal breeders. The matrices are very sparse (3 nonzeros per row) and range between 26 20 and 968 652 582 694.

Genome Wide Association Studies, Next Generation Sequencing and Their Application in Animal Breeding and Genetics: A Review

Recently genetic studies have been revolutionized by next generation sequencing (NGS) technology, and it is expected that the use of this technology will largely eliminate defects in the methods of association studies. The NGS technology is becoming the premier tool in genetics. However, at the moment the use of this method is limited especially in the livestock due to high cost and computation...

Using PCR-PIRA based genotyping for identifying complex vertebral malformation allele in Frieswal young bulls in India

Complex vertebral malformation (CVM) has considerable economic impact on dairy cattle breeding due to extensive use of artificial insemination (AI). Identifying the carrier is an important factor to reduce the incidence of the genetic disorder. The study was conducted to identify the carriers of CVM in Frieswal cattle by polymerase chain reaction-primer-introduced restriction analysis (PCR-PIRA...

Treatment of Repeat Breeding of Iraqi Buffaloes Using Different CIDR Protocols

The present study was undertaken to examine the efficacy of a treatment regime using a controlled internal drug release (CIDR) device in conjunction with injections of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) on conception rate of repeat-breeding Iraqi buffaloes. Data were collected from 100 buffaloeswith repeat breeding in Ninevehprovince housed at six private dairy ...
