Journal ArticleDOI
A multi-breed GWAS for morphometric traits in four Beninese indigenous cattle breeds reveals loci associated with conformation, carcass and adaptive traits.
Sèyi Fridaïus Ulrich Vanvanhossou,Carsten Scheper,Luc Hippolyte Dossa,Tong Yin,Kerstin Brügemann,Sven König +5 more
TL;DR: Multi-breed genetic parameter estimations and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the six morphometric traits were carried out, inferring genomic regions and functional loci potentially associated with conformation, carcass and adaptive traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fasciola hepatica seroprevalence in Northern German dairy herds and associations with milk production parameters and milk ketone bodies.
TL;DR: The objective of the study was to estimate the association between F. hepatica bulk tank milk (BTM) antibodies and milk production parameters and the milk ketone bodies ß-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and acetone, inferred from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry via linear mixed model analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proofs for genotype by environment interactions considering pedigree and genomic data from organic and conventional cow reference populations.
TL;DR: In this paper, the genotype by environment interactions (G × E) for production, longevity, and health traits considering conventional and organic German Holstein dairy cattle subpopulations were proved.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of agro-ecological factors and transboundary transhumance in shaping the genetic diversity in four indigenous cattle populations of Benin.
Carsten Scheper,Mehdi Bohlouli,Kerstin Brügemann,C. Weimann,Sèyi Fridaïus Ulrich Vanvanhossou,Sven König,Luc Hippolyte Dossa +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the genetic diversity and population structure of the indigenous breeds Lagune, Somba, Pabli and Borgou considering spatial agro-ecological and socio-economic factors (transhumance) found evidence for spatial diversity and changes in genetic structure over time in the Borgou breed in comparison with the historic samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing selection signatures within and between selected lines of dual-purpose black and white and German Holstein cattle.
S. Naderi,Mohammad Moradi,Mohammad Farhadian,Tong Yin,Maria Jaeger,Carsten Scheper,Paula Korkuć,Gudrun A. Brockmann,Sven König,Katharina May +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used cross-population extended haplotype homozygosity methodology (XP-EHH) to identify the most recent selection signatures of cows from the German Holstein (GH) and the local dual-purpose black and white (DSN) population.
