Journal ArticleDOI
Economic evaluation of genomic breeding programs.
TL;DR: Genomic breeding programs generated a higher discounted profit than a conventional progeny testing program for all scenarios where at least 20% of the inseminations were done by genotyped young bulls without daughter records, mainly due to the reduction in generation intervals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic parameters for lean meat content and meat quality traits in different pig breeds
TL;DR: In contrast to the favourable relationships between pH1, COL and DRIP, inconsistent correlations between IMF and these traits were found and unfavourable genetic correlations were estimated between LMC and the meat quality traits for all breeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community-based alternative breeding plans for indigenous sheep breeds in four agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia.

TL;DR: Four scenarios of ram selection and ram use were compared via deterministic modelling of breeding plans for community-based sheep breeding programmes in four diverse agro-ecological regions of Ethiopia, finding strong selection and shorter duration of ram use for breeding were the preferred options.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physico-chemical characteristics of Apis dorsata, A. cerana and A. mellifera honey from Chitwan district, central Nepal
TL;DR: Honey samples from Apis dorsata, A. cerana and A. mellifera were collected by cutting a piece of honey comb directly from the colonies on the same day and from the same floristic region of Chitwan district, central Nepal to perform Physico-chemical analysis of the honey samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breeding and supply chain systems incorporating local pig breeds for small-scale pig producers in Northwest Vietnam
TL;DR: Evaluating possibilities to organize pig breeding and marketing channels in remote areas in the uplands of Northern Vietnam finds a stratified pig breeding system seems promising, requiring innovative organizational setups, and a short food supply chain is proposed.
