Knowledge of the genetic architecture of key growth and beef traits in livestock species has
greatly improved worldwide thanks to genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which …

The aim of this review was to summarize new genetic approaches and techniques in the
breeding of cattle, pigs, sheep and horses. Often production and reproductive traits are …

Profitability of beef production can be increased by genetically improving carcass traits. To
construct breeding value evaluations for carcass traits, breed-specific genetic parameters …

Longevity is important in pig production with respect to both economic and ethical aspects.
Direct selection for longevity might be ineffective because 'true'longevity can only be …

The objective of this investigation was to estimate genetic parameters for litter size in
Charollais, Romney, Merinolandschaf, Romanov, Suffolk, Šumava and Texel breeds of …

The aim of this research was to analyse effects of weight and age of dairy cattle breeds and
their crossbreeds (423 bulls, 492 heifers and 567 cows) on carcass yield and conformation …

The most appropriate model for genetic parameters estimation for calving ease and birth
weight in beef cattle was selected. A total of 27 402 field records were available from the …

Database of performance testing (so called field test) of 333 thousands of animals of twelve
beef breeds and crosses with dairy and dual-purpose breeds was used for analyse. Data …

The average daily gains of young bulls on test stations (ADGT) were analysed for the most
frequent breeds of beef cattle in the Czech Republic using a multiple-trait animal model …

Genetic parameters were estimated for body weight at scanning (SCW), scrotal
circumference (SC), rump fat thickness (P8FT), rib fat thickness (RBFT), eye muscle area …
