Weighted single step GWAS reveals genomic regions associated with economic traits in Murrah buffaloes
In this study, 105 genomic regions were associated with growth, 35 genomic regions with production and 42 window regions with reproduction traits. Different candidate genes were identified in these genomic regions, of which important are OSBPL8, NAP1L1 for growth, CNTNAP2 for production and ILDR2, TADA1 and POGK for reproduction traits.PMID:38437001 | DOI:10.1080/10495398.2024.2319622 (Source: Animal Biotechnology)

Biochemical properties of sheep colostrum and its potential benefits for lamb survival: a review
Anim Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 4:2320726. doi: 10.1080/10495398.2024.2320726. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTColostrum is the initial secretion of the mammary glands following parturition, which offers main food, protection, and biological active substances for the new born. The most threatening episode of neonate's life is the initial two weeks after birth. This period is associated with high neonatal mortality and morbidity. These worthwhile losses lead to a poor prolificacy rate, low profitability, and ultimately poor performance in animal production. Hence, both diseases and mortality cause valuable losses in terms of produc...

Copy number variations within fibroblast growth factor 13 gene influence growth traits and alternative splicing in cattle
This study detected the various copy number types in seven Chinese cattle breeds and analysed their population genetic characteristics and effects on growth traits and transcription levels. Copy number Loss was more frequent in Caoyuan Red cattle and Xianan cattle than in the other breeds. Association analysis between CNV and growth traits of Qinchuan indicated that the CNV was significantly related to chest depth, hip width and hucklebone width (P < 0.05). Additionally, the growth traits of individuals with copy number Loss were significantly inferior to those with copy number Gain or Median (P < 0.05). Besides, we ...

Multi-tissue gene expression profiling of cows with a genetic predisposition for low and high milk urea levels
Anim Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 1:2322542. doi: 10.1080/10495398.2024.2322542. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMilk urea (MU) concentration is proposed as an indicator trait for breeding toward reduced nitrogen (N) emissions and leaching in dairy. We selected 20 German Holstein cows based on MU breeding values, with 10 cows each having low (LMUg) and high (HMUg) MU genetic predisposition. Using RNA-seq, we characterized these cows to unravel molecular pathways governing post-absorptive body N pools focusing on renal filtration and reabsorption of nitrogenous compounds, hepatic urea formation and mammary gland N excretion. While we...
