In the context of the general phenomenon of diminishing genetic diversity, especially in
cattle, the conservation of endangered species plays a primary role. The disappearance of …

Background Local cattle breeds need special attention, as they are valuable reservoirs of
genetic diversity. Appropriate breeding decisions and adequate genomic management of …

Background Climate and farming systems, several of which are considered as low-input
agricultural systems, vary between goat populations from Northern and Southern Italy and …

The availability of genotyping assays has allowed the detailed evaluation of cattle genetic
diversity worldwide. However, these comprehensive studies did not include some local …

We used genome‐wide SNP data from 18 local cattle breeds from six countries of the Alpine
