Abstract: Worldwide, most beef breeding herds are naturally mated. As such, the ability to identify and select fertile bulls is critically important for both productivity and genetic improvement. Here, we collected ten fertility-related phenotypes for 6,063… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.840815
Abstract: Numerically small breeds have often been upgraded with mainstream breeds. This historic introgression predisposes the breeds for joint genomic evaluations with mainstream breeds. The linkage disequilibrium structure differs between breeds. The marker effects of a… read more here.
