Journal ArticleDOI
Host contributes to longitudinal diversity of fecal microbiota in swine selected for lean growth
Duc Lu,Francesco Tiezzi,Constantino Schillebeeckx,Nathan P. McNulty,Clint Schwab,Caleb M Shull,Christian Maltecca +6 more
TL;DR: These results are important for efforts to genetically improve the domesticated pig because they suggest fecal microbiota diversity can be used as an indicator trait to improve traits that are expensive to measure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut microbiome composition differences among breeds impact feed efficiency in swine
Matteo Bergamaschi,Francesco Tiezzi,Jeremy Howard,Yijian Huang,Kent A. Gray,Constantino Schillebeeckx,Nathan P. McNulty,Christian Maltecca +7 more
TL;DR: Amplicon sequence variants from multiple genera were found to be significantly associated with feed efficiency, regardless of the time point considered, which suggests that the microbial community may contribute to shaping host productive parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Genome-Wide Association Study for Clinical Mastitis in First Parity US Holstein Cows Using Single-Step Approach and Genomic Matrix Re-Weighting Procedure
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study for CM in first-lactation Holstein confirmed that CM follows a highly polygenic mode of inheritance, and candidate QTL for CM were identified in the US Holstein population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory silo type and inoculation effects on nutritional composition, fermentation, and bacterial and fungal communities of oat silage
J.J. Romero,Yunfeng Zhao,M. A. Balseca-Paredes,Francesco Tiezzi,Eduardo Gutierrez-Rodriguez,Miguel S. Castillo +5 more
TL;DR: The use of inoculant improved oat silage quality partially by a shift in the bacterial community composition during ensiling, which mainly consisted of an increased relative abundance of Lactobacillaceae and reduction of Leuconostocaceae relative to CON.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic parameters for fertility of dairy heifers and cows at different parities and relationships with production traits in first lactation
TL;DR: The result indicates that fertility in heifers is a different trait than fertility in lactating cows, and hence it cannot be used as robust indicator of cow fertility, and milk yield depends on both pMY and LL, and, as such, is a cause and consequence of (in)fertility.
