Random regression models have been used in evaluating test-day milk yield, providing accurate estimates of genetic values in animals. However, herd evaluation with only information from the first lactation may not be the best option from an economic perspective. Other factors should be taken into account, particularly other lactations. Our objective in this study was to analyze the genetic dive...

Major prehistoric forces, such as the climatic shifts of the Pleistocene, can remain visible in a species' population genetics. Inference of refuges via genetic tools is useful for conservation management as it can identify populations whose preservation may help retain a species' adaptive potential. Such investigation is needed for Australia's southern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons...

Use of livestock guardian dogs (LGDs) to reduce predation on livestock is increasing. However, how these dogs influence the activity of wildlife, including predators, is not well understood. We used pellet counts and remote cameras to investigate the effects of free ranging LGDs on four large herbivores (eastern gray kangaroo, common wombat, swamp wallaby, and sambar deer) and one mesopredator ...

The objective of this study was to compare the results of genetic evaluations by using different milk control intervals to reduce the cost of milk yield controls without harming the quality of genetic evaluation of the animals. We analyzed test day milk yield data from the Goat Sector of Universidade Federal de Viçosa. After editing and checking for errors in the database, there were 20,710 rec...

The last two years have seen a dramatic expansion in public cheminformatics, as exemplified by the approximate five-fold growth of PubChem from over 50 contributing data sources. Consequently, medicinal chemists who were hitherto limited to commercial databases now also have access to public sources that they can download and/or query directly over the Web. The range of public sources, particul...

It was aimed to investigate the genetic parameters in growth, fertility, and productivity of Anatolian buffaloes maintained at private farms Yozgat. A total 1139 buffalo cows their calves were used study. The weights birth, weaning, 6th 12th months age, daily live weight gains (DLWG) born from 2015 2019 recorded. Calving interval (CI) service period (SP), lactation milk yield (LMY), per day (MY...

Abstract Background Herbivorous mammals co-opt microbes to derive energy and nutrients from diets that are recalcitrant host enzymes. Recent research has found captive management—an important conservation tool for many species—can alter the gut microbiota of mammals. Such changes could negatively impact ability herbivorous their native diets, ultimately reduce fitness. To date, nothing is known...

When replaying an archived web page, or memento , the fundamental expectation is that page should be viewable and function exactly as it did at archival time. However, this requires archives upon replay to modify its embedded resources so all links reference archive rather than original server. Although these modifications necessarily change state of representation, understood without them meme...
