Parallel computing applied to breeding value estimation in dairy cattle.
Continuous genetic evaluation of dairy cattle with test-day models is desired in Finland. However, the computing time for the genetic evaluation is 4 d and exceeds the minimum of a weekend. Three parallel implementations of the preconditioned conjugate gradient iterative solver were programmed and compared to identify the best strategy for solving mixed model equations using parallel computing....
متن کاملBreeding and Genetics: Dairy Cattle Breeding I
Humans obtain a number of products from animals. These include food, clothing, medical materials, companionship and research knowledge to name a few. A valued ethic contends that it is inappropriate for one to treat another as a means to an end. In short, it is wrong to treat another as simply a product. Historically, non-human beings have not been included as “others” and thus their treatment ...
متن کاملBreeding and Genetics: Dairy Cattle
Protein-damaging stresses, including heat shock, cold, altered pH and oxygen deprivation induce the expression of a subgroup of molecular chaperones, called heat shock proteins (Hsp), which consist of several protein families designated by their molecular weight, such as the Hsp90, Hsp70, Hsp60, and the small Hsp (sHsp) families. Small heat shock proteins (sHsp) with a molecular mass of 15–30 k...
متن کاملConsequences for Dairy Cattle Breeding
Advances in breeding and management resulted in a considerable increase of production traits in Austrian dairy cattle. Besides, low input systems were also established. Possible genotype by environment interactions (G x E) and genetic antagonisms dependent on production level might indicate the need for separate breeding programmes for dairy farms diff ering in management intensity. Th us, G x ...
متن کاملEstimates of Repeatability and Heritability of Productive Trait in Holstein Dairy Cattle
Dairy cattle breeding programs have been based in the selection for traits related to milk production. In this research a data set of 63 herds of East Azerbaijan province Holstein cattle, collected during 2002-2013 by the Iranian Animal Breeding Center was used to estimate the repeatability and heritability of three traits of economic importance. Genetic parameters for first three lactations of...
