Breeding for a global dairy market using genomic selection
TL;DR: From the simulation of a closed nucleus breeding program for dairy cattle it was concluded that the introduction of genomic selection and the use of young animals as parents increased the rate of genetic gain by a factor 2.4 when genetic markers explained 50% of the genetic variance.
Genetic Parameters for Endocrine Fertility Traits from In-line Milk Progesterone Records in Dairy Cows
TL;DR: This study shows that in-line P4 records can be used to define and explore several heritable endocrine fertility traits thatCan be used in genetic improvement of fertility by selection.
Consequences of Splitting Sequencing Effort over Multiple Breeds on Imputation Accuracy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that splitting sequencing effort over multiple breeds is a good strategy for imputation from high-density SNP panels towards whole-genome sequence when reference populations are small.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene expression patterns in the ventral tegmental area relate to oestrus behaviour in high-producing dairy cows.
TL;DR: The genes expression profile in VTA of cows highly expressing oestrus behaviour changes together with phases of the Oestrus cycle, while in case of cows expressing ostrus behaviour lowly it remains stable, which supports the existence of genomic regulation by centrally expressed genes on the expression of oestrous behaviour in dairy cows.
