Selection strategies in sire referencing schemes in sheep
In sire referencing, genetic links are created among flocks by the mutual use of some rams (reference sires). These connections allow for across-flock genetic evaluations offering a larger pool of candidates for selection. Using stochastic simulation, the effect of three characteristics of the design of such schemes on rates of genetic response and inbreeding were investigated. We considered (i...

متن کاملDerivation of Henderson's Method of Incorporating Artificial Insemination Sire Evaluations into Intraherd Prediction of Breeding Values
A derivation is given for the method proposed by Henderson to incorporate evaluations of sires based on daughter records in other herds into the intraherd prediction of breeding values. The derivation consists of pretending the daughters in other herds have records which have been adjusted for the herd-year-season effects of their origin. These equations then are absorbed into the equation for ...
متن کاملArtificial Insemination
A GROUP of dairymen in New Jersey organized in 1938 the first cooperative in the United States for the artificial insemination of their cows. This method of serving females without natural mating has since become one of the most significant programs for livestock improvement in the history of American agriculture. A great deal of research has been done on all phases. A basic contribution was th...
متن کاملArtificial insemination in marsupials.
Assisted breeding technology (ART), including artificial insemination (AI), has the potential to advance the conservation and welfare of marsupials. Many of the challenges facing AI and ART for marsupials are shared with other wild species. However, the marsupial mode of reproduction and development also poses unique challenges and opportunities. For the vast majority of marsupials, there is a ...
