Whole-genome sequencing of European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds allows the detection of signatures of selection for adaptation of genetic resources to different breeding and production systems
(BMC Publishing, 2020)
Background: Natural and artificial directional selection in cosmopolitan and autochthonous pig breeds and wild boars have shaped their genomes and resulted in a reservoir of animal genetic diversity. Signatures of selection ...
Fungal contamination of pig farm feeds
(Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2021)
The aim of this study was to establish the total fungal (mould)
count in 79 commercial pig farm feed samples (42 samples for piglets, 29 samples
for fattening pigs and 8 samples for sows) collected from the Serbian feed ...
Genome-wide detection of copy number variants in European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds by whole-genome sequencing of DNA pools identified breed-characterising copy number states
(International Foundation for Animal Genetics, 2020)
In this study, we identified copy number variants (CNVs) in 19 European autochthonous pig
breeds and in two commercial breeds (Italian Large White and Italian Duroc) that represent
important genetic resources for this ...
Runs of homozygosity provide a genome landscape picture of inbreeding and genetic history of European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 04-2021)
ROHs are long stretches of DNA homozygous at each polymorphic position. The proportion of
genome covered by ROHs and their length are indicators of the level and origin of inbreeding.
Frequent common ROHs within the same ...
Energy metabolism indicators and body condition in peripartal period of Alpine goats
(SIVAR (Italian Society of Farm Animals Veterinary Practitioners), 2020)
The investigation was performed on two groups of primiparous and multiparous healthy dewormed Alpine dairy goats (25 each) during peripartal period. Blood samples were collected (jugular venipuncture) 10-15 days before and ...
Assessment of yield, quality and nitrogen index of Agrostietum capillaris grassland as affected by fertilizations / Prinos, kvalitet i indeks ishrane azotom livade tipa Agrostietum capillaris pod uticajem đubrenja
(Institut za stočarstvo Beograd-Zemun, 2020)
Managing N, P and K inputs in semi-natural meadow production systems is important for achieving maximum yields in livestock farming. The objective of the present study was to estimate the effect of different NPK levels ...
A REVIEW OF SOME IMPORTANT VIRAL DISEASES OF WILD BOARS
(Institut za stočarstvo, Beograd-Zemun, 30-12-2021)
Wild boars are one of the widest-ranging mammals worldwide and represent reservoirs for many important viruses. Disease outbreaks in domestic swine are often described as a consequence of contact with wild boars, and ...
On the origin of European sheep as revealed by the diversity of the Balkan breeds and by optimizing population-genetic analysis tools
(Genetic Selection Evolution, 14-05-2020)
Background: In the Neolithic, domestic sheep migrated into Europe and subsequently spread in westerly and
northwesterly directions. Reconstruction of these migrations and subsequent genetic events requires a more ...
Characteristics and variability of udder scores of simmental first calving heifers
(Institute for Animal Husbandry, Belgrade-Zemun, Serbia, 2021)
Visual assessment and recognition of milk performance traits of cows are preliminary indicators of milk yield, longevity, as well as reproductive abilities of the animal, which is very important from the aspect of economy ...
Quantitative genetic analysis of variability and relationship of lambs body weight traits in population of indigenous Pirot sheep
(Institute for Animal Husbandry Belgrade Zemun, 2020)
Quantitative genetic analysis of variability and relationship of
lambs body weight traits in indigenous pirot sheep population are done. The the
examined lambs had high variability which very suitable for selection on a ...
