Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Anogenital Distance and Linear Type Traits in Gir Cattle
Although linear type traits have been under selection in the Dairy Gir cattle for the past three decades, there are few studies exploring genetic architecture for these traits. The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes for an...

Estimates of Genetic Parameters for Ewe Longevity and Lifetime Reproductive Performance Traits in South African Merino Sheep
Ewe's functional longevity impacts flock profitability by reducing annual ewe replacement costs and increasing ewe outputs over the production cycle. In this context, the main objective of this study was to estimate variance components a...

A Transformation From Methane Concentration From Sniffers to Methane Production for Implementation in Breeding Programs and Comparison With Tier 2 Equation
Reducing methane emissions from dairy cattle has gained considerable attention due to its dual benefits of improving feed efficiency and mitigating climate change. Consequently, phenotyping methane emissions in dairy populations has beco...

Effect of Selection for High Growth on Resilience of Giant Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
Resilience is the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by disturbances or to rapidly return to its pre‐disturbance state. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has investigated resilience in the giant freshwater prawn...

Characterizing Runs of Homozygosity and Inbreeding in American Mink Using SNP Data and Pedigree Information
Inbreeding increases the likelihood of deleterious recessive alleles becoming homozygous and consequently affecting economically important traits. Runs of homozygosity (ROH), the continuous homozygous segments of the genome and the highe...

Genetic Correlations Between Fleece Shedding and Production Traits Indicate Minimal Trade‐Offs When Breeding for Maternal Shedding Sheep
Fleece shedding is becoming an increasingly important trait in sheep production systems focused on meat and dairy, where wool has limited economic value and reducing shearing costs is desirable. For inclusion in breeding programmes, a tr...

Heritability of Productive, Reproductive and Carcass Traits in Pure‐Bred and Cross‐Bred Pigs: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Heritability ( h 2 ) is a key parameter in animal breeding, but its magnitude and consistency across pure‐bred (PB) and cross‐bred (CB) pig populations remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare heritability estimates between ...

Genomic Insights Into Heterosis: Dominance or Additive × Additive Interaction?
Heterosis was documented in the 18th century, but its biological basis has been debated since. The theoretical framework proposed by Hill, and adapted by Lynch, is based on two central parameters: admixed composition ( S ), and the heter...

Spectral Transforms as a Tool to Optimize Digital Phenotyping in Biological Images
Modern livestock breeding has mastered genotyping. Genome‐wide association studies, genomic selection, and SNP arrays enable genetic merit prediction at lower cost. However, phenotyping remains the bottleneck, as manual measurement is sl...
