Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationship between Indigenous Cattle Breeds
Zebu breeds of cattle from southern part of India are well known for their adaptability to extreme climatic conditions, draught efficiency, disease resistance and poor nutritional environment. Selection of appropriate populations for conservation of such genetic resources is needed in view of preventing rapid erosion of animal genetic resources. Estimation of genetic diversity is essential to d...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity among European Cattle Breeds
Over the centuries since mankind first started farming, genetic variation has allowed the selection of the improved crops and livestock that have fed an ever increasing population. Maintaining genetic variation is crucial if we want to continue to improve our livestock and respond to changes in climate, disease or consumer preferences. This article describes work at the Roslin Institute on the ...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Bottleneck Analysis of Indigenous Grey Cattle Breeds of India Based on Microsatellite Data
Bovine microsatellite data of 21 loci was used for the assessment of genetic diversity and bottleneck analysis of 10 indigenous grey cattle breeds from different agroclimatic regions of India. A total of 448 alleles were observed across 21 loci and the observed number of alleles varied from 11 (INRA 05) to 35 (ILSTS-05). The overall observed and expected heterozygosity was 0.722 and 0.802, the ...
متن کاملEnvironmental and Genetic Factors Affecting Early Growth Traits in Three Yemeni Indigenous Sheep Breeds
The data were collected from 1992 to 2009 in Burri, White Boni and Black Boni sheep maintained at the Regional Research Station in the Central Highlands of Yemen. Data were analyzed to study the effects of environmental and genetic factors on body weight and growth rate from birth to weaning. The least square means for body weights (BW) were 2.54, 2.18 and 2.26 kg for birth; 12.49, 10.58 and 11...
متن کاملGenetic diversity and relationships of endangered Spanish cattle breeds.
Information on the genetic structure and variability of autochthonous livestock breeds is essential for effective conservation programs. Here we present a molecular characterization on the basis of 30 microsatellite markers of 5 Spanish endangered cattle breeds Betizu (BET), Mallorquina (MAL), Menorquina, Monchina (MON), and Serrana de Teruel (ST) and of 2 fighting bull populations, Casta Navar...
