Combining information of different breeds is a cost-effective strategy to increase the size and genetic diversity of reference populations, which would improve imputation and/or genomic prediction accuracies in comparison with single-breed ...
Prediction of the digestibility and digestible energy content of hay for horses using an enzymatic degradability method [0.03%]
使用酶降解法预测 horse 食用干草的消化率和消化能含量

The nutritive value of forage for horses is closely dependent on the digestibility of organic matter (OMD), which is typically measured in vivo. Researchers have developed a variety of prediction methods to estimate the digestibility value ...
Effectiveness of virtual fencing in a mountain environment and its impact on heifer behaviour and welfare [0.03%]
牧场围栏对于山地环境中的牲畜的有效性及其对小母牛行为和福利的影响

P Fuchs et al.
Virtual fencing (VF) could be beneficial in mountain areas where electric wire fencing is difficult and time-consuming. However, environmental challenges of mountain pastures may impair VF efficacy and functionality, with potential effects ...
Integrating eQTL and genome-wide association studies to uncover additive and dominant regulatory circuits in pig uterine capacity [0.03%]
整合表达定量遗传位点和全基因组关联分析揭示猪子宫容积的累加和显性调控通路

The economy of modern pig breeding programs relies largely on sow reproductive performance. Over the last decades, genetic selection in the sow breeding sector has focused on increasing the number of piglets born per litter. As a result, hi...
Effect of replacing alfalfa hay with wheat silage on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and serum metabolites in feedlotting lambs [0.03%]
紫花苜蓿干草替换成小麦青贮对育肥羊生长性能、养分消化率、瘤胃发酵和血清代谢物的影响
H Chen,Y Jiang,W Li et al.
H Chen et al.
This study investigated the potential of using wheat silage (WS) as a partial or complete replacement for alfalfa hay (AH) in the diets of feedlotting lambs, addressing the global challenge of high feed costs and forage scarcity in livestoc...
The effects of incorporating sprouted barley in diets of high-yielding dairy cows on production, efficiency, and nutrient digestibility [0.03%]
在高产奶牛日粮中添加发芽大麦对生产性能、利用效率和养分消化率的影响

U Moallem et al.
The sprouted system is the process of growing grains hydroponically in trays. Recently, there has been interest in using sprouted grains as feed for ruminants. The objective of this study was to determine how including sprouted barley in da...
How water stress affects the growth, development, and gene expression of yellow mealworm [0.03%]
水分压力对黄粉虫生长、发育和基因表达的影响

The Tswana goat, a key component of Botswana's livestock, is renowned for its resilience and adaptability to low-resource environments. The objective of this study was to use homozygosity (ROH) and supplementary methods (FST, iHS, xp-EHH, R...
Cross-sectional analysis of the associations between age and body weight at first calving and productivity in spring-calving Holstein-Friesian dairy cows [0.03%]
有关初产年龄和初产体重对春季产犊荷斯坦奶牛的生产性能影响的横断面分析

H Costigan et al.
Age at first calving (AFC) is one of the key determinants of heifer rearing costs. Although a young AFC is recommended in order to minimise the non-productive period, calving at a young age has previously been associated with a reduction in...
