The goal of this review was to analyze published data related to mitigation of enteric
methane (CH4) emissions from ruminant animals to document the most effective and …

This document analyzes emission of non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases, an important
segment of the environmental footprint of animal production. It has been developed by a …

The goal of this review was to analyze published data on animal management practices that
mitigate enteric methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from animal operations …

Before fertility traits were incorporated into selection, dairy cattle breeding primarily focused
on production traits, which resulted in an unfavorable decline in the reproductive …

Domestic animals are invaluable resources for study of the molecular architecture of
complex traits. Although the mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for …

Breeding of dairy cattle is undergoing a paradigm shift to genomic selection of potential sires
and dams. This undoubtedly will affect how bulls are managed in an artificial insemination …

Genetic variants underlying reduced male reproductive performance have been identified in
humans and model organisms, most of them compromising semen quality. Occasionally …

Background Body size traits as one of the main breeding selection criteria was widely used
to monitor cattle growth and to evaluate the selection response. In this study, body size was …

Simple Summary Complex traits that require observations over multiple time points for the
same individual are called longitudinal traits. Understanding the genetic architecture of beef …

The objectives of this work were to assess alternative linear reaction norm (RN) models for
genetic evaluation of Angus cattle in Brazil. That is, we investigated the interaction between …
