A genetic database for performance parameter recording in Danish Angora goats

چکیده
The Goat Registration System has been developed since 1991 and today 227 Angora herds are on the system, including 25 Swedish and 7 Norwegian herds. The Nordic Angora goat population consists of many small herds (a total of 4,277 Angoras). This is one of the reasons why we have developed a genetic indexation system over the past 2 years, enabling us to compare animals from different herds and to find the best bucks and does in the Nordic countries. This will ensure the best possible basis for breeding progress and thus a profitable mohair production.

Carcass traits and retail display-life of chops from different goat breed types.
Four groups of goats, Boer x Spanish, straightbred Spanish, Spanish x Angora, and straightbred Angora were slaughtered at a constant age according to accepted industry procedures. At 24 h postmortem, various carcass yield and quality measurements were taken. At 48 h postmortem, one side from each carcass was fabricated into major wholesale cuts for dissection into percentage lean, bone, and fat...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Population Structure in South African, French and Argentinian Angora Goats from Genome-Wide SNP Data
The Angora goat populations in Argentina (AR), France (FR) and South Africa (SA) have been kept geographically and genetically distinct. Due to country-specific selection and breeding strategies, there is a need to characterize the populations on a genetic level. In this study we analysed genetic variability of Angora goats from three distinct geographical regions using the standardized 50k Goa...
