the aim of this study was to evaluate the differences between cold carcass weights (ccw) for the catalan pyrenean horse (cavall pirinenc català) breed according to different variables: area of origin, farm, gender and age. linear regression models were applied using a generalized linear model (glm) procedure for ccw of 397 animals (217 males and 180 females) slaughtered in a commercial abattoir...

This paper summarises the current status of comparative mapping in farm animals. For most of the major farm animal species, a wide range of genomic tools are now available to create high-resolution genetic and physical maps of the genome. For many farm animals, the use of radiation hybrid panels and sequence data from expressed sequence tag (EST) projects has accelerated the development of high...

Many past studies into the diffusion of business innovation in the farming community focused on factors associated with the act of adoption. This study attempts to promote the diffusion of computer-based management innovation by gaining a clearer understanding of the evolution of farm management information systems (FMIS). Characteristics of farm businesses, their FMIS, and the factors related ...

With the rapid growth of population and increasing demand for food worldwide, improving productivity in farming procedures is essential. Smart a concept that emphasizes use modern technologies such as Internet Things (IoT) artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance practices. In smart scenario, large amounts data are collected from diverse sources wireless sensor networks, network-connected weathe...
