Mycobacterium bovis is the primary agent of tuberculosis in cattle.The objective of this study was to quantify the genetic variation present among Irish Holstein Friesian dairy cattle in their susceptibility to M. bovis infection. A total of 15,182 cow and 8,104 heifer single intradermal c...
متن کاملTHe GloBAl AND IrISH DAIry INDuSTrIeS
5 INTroDuCTIoN Global markets have been critically important to Irish agriculture for some years. In these, but also in domestic markets, competition will intensify as a result of ongoing moves towards liberalisation of international trade. In this setting, Irish agricultural product cannot hope to compete on price alone, and quality will become increasingly important to Ireland’s ability to su...
متن کاملImproving Nitrogen Use Efficiency: from Planet to Dairy Paddock
Introduction At a global scale, human activity has increased the flux of N two-fold (Vitousek et al. 1997), particularly driven by large scale fertiliser manufacturing (Fowler et al. 2013). Additionally, the ability to transport inputs and outputs cheaply and extensively has led to substantial growth in agricultural production over the past 50 years with an accompanying 40% increase in world po...
متن کاملBreeding for high water-use efficiency.
There is a pressing need to improve the water-use efficiency of rain-fed and irrigated crop production. Breeding crop varieties with higher water-use efficiency is seen as providing part of the solution. Three key processes can be exploited in breeding for high water-use efficiency: (i) moving more of the available water through the crop rather than it being wasted as evaporation from the soil ...
