Background Bayesian genomic prediction methods were developed to simultaneously fit all
genotyped markers to a set of available phenotypes for prediction of breeding values for …

Having played important roles in human growth and development, livestock animals are
regarded as integral parts of society. However, industrialization has depleted natural …

The current work aimed to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated with
resilience in pigs. In previous work, we proposed the body weight deviation from the …

Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is one contributor to recent increases in sow
mortality that have been observed in some populations and environments, leading to …

Background In recent years, interest has grown in quantifying resilience in livestock by
examining deviations in target phenotypes. This method is based on the idea that variability …

Celtic‐Iberian pig breeds were majority in Spain and Portugal until the first half of the 20th
century. In the 1990s, they were nearly extinct as a result of the introduction of foreign …

Selective breeding for improved animal resilience is becoming critical to increase the
sustainability of production systems. Despite the existence of a genetic component for …

Milk citrate is regarded as an early biomarker of negative energy balance in dairy cows
during early lactation and serves as a suitable candidate phenotype for genomic selection …

Resilience traits in pig populations allow animals to deal better with infectious disease and
suboptimal production environments. The data on daily weight, feed intake and feed …

Genome-to-phenome analyses in animal breeding often involves the estimation of genetic
marker effects and breeding values, based on individual-level genotype and phenotype …
