[EN] In animal breeding, there is a growing interest in selecting animals that exhibit uniform responses to environmental conditions, aiming for product consistency as a desirable breeding objective. This could be achieved ...

[EN] In quantitative genetics, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are indispensable for statistical inference in non-standard models like generalized linear models with genetic random effects or models with genetically ...

[EN] Uterine capacity (UC), defined as the total number of kits from unilaterally ovariectomized does at birth, has a high genetic correlation with litter size. The aim of our research was to identify genomic regions ...

[ES] La demanda creciente de alimento debido al aumento de la población requiere de una ganadería más eficiente y sostenible. En la ganadería lechera el 50-70% de los costos de producción se deben a la alimentación, por ...

[ES] La depresión endogámica afecta en mayor medida a los caracteres reproductivos, como el tamaño de camada en porcino. Recientemente, se ha demostrado que el determinismo de la depresión endogámica es heterogéneo a lo ...

[EN] This paper presents the results of the first year of the inter-university implementation of challenge-based learning (CBL) in animal breeding. The challenge faced by students from the Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona, ...

[EN] The implementation of Student t mixed models in animal breeding has been suggested as a useful statistical tool to effectively mute the impact of preferential treatment or other sources of outliers in field data. ...

[EN] The analysis of microarray gene expression data has experienced a remarkable growth in scientific research over the last few years and is helping to decipher the genetic background of several productive traits. ...

[EN] Robustness has become a highly desirable breeding goal in the globalized agricultural market. Both genotype-by-environment interaction (G x E) and micro-environmental sensitivity are important robustness components ...

A partir de datos genotípicos de aproximadamente 20.000 SNPs ya disponibles para el rodaballo, se estimará la heredabilidad genómica para la resistencia al parásito Philasterides dicentrarchi, utilizado diferentes medidas ...
