Lashmar, Simon Frederick; Berry, Donagh P.; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Muchadeyi, Farai C.; Visser, Carina (Oxford University Press, 2021-07)

A major obstacle in applying genomic selection (GS) to uniquely adapted local breeds in less-developed countries has been the cost of genotyping at high densities of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). Cost reduction ...

Understanding the underlying genetic mechanisms for age at first calving, inter-calving period and scrotal circumference in Bonsmara cattle

Reding, Jason Jack; Van der Westhuizen, Robert R.; Berry, Donagh P.; Van Marle-Koster, Este (BMC, 2023-08-24)

BACKGROUND : Reproduction is a key feature of the sustainability of a species and thus represents an important component in livestock genetic improvement programs. Most reproductive traits are lowly heritable. In order ...
