Plant pathogens are the main threat for profitable agricultural productivity. Currently,
chemical-based pesticides are thought to be an effective and reliable agricultural …

The aim of this literature review was to identify the existence and scope of genotype by
environment interaction (G x E) from reports on dairy cattle populations in different …

A total of 4007 lactation records from 1520 Saanen goats kidding from 1999 to 2006 and
obtained from 10 herds in Guanajuato, Mexico, were analyzed to estimate the heritabilities …

Little is known about the association between age at first calving and subsequent
performance in seasonal calving dairy production systems where grazed grass constitutes …

Genetic and phenotypic parameters for Mexican Holstein cows were estimated for first-to
third-parity cows with records from 1998 to 2003 (n= 2,971–15,927) for 305-d mature …

To aid in improvement of breeding programs for production and reproduction traits of US
dairy goats, breed differences over time were documented and genetic parameters were …

The aim of this study was to answer the question whether models for genetic evaluations of
longevity should include a correction for age at first calving (AFC). For this purpose …

Health and reproductive conditions affect milk yields in dairy cows and may lead to
differences in technical efficiency across farms. To investigate this, we created a novel panel …

Age at first calving (AFC) and accumulated 305 d milk yield (MY) data from first-lactation
daughters of imported Holstein (IH) and Thai Holstein (TH; purebred and crossbred Holstein …

Genotype by Environment interaction (G x E) is the interaction between genes and the
environment and G x E can be detected at the phenotypic level. Estimating the genetic …
