The aim of this study was to analyze LEP and DGAT1 gene polymorphisms in 3 Nelore lines selected for growth evaluate their effects on carcass traits. Traits analyzed were birth, weaning, yearling weight, rump height, LM area, backfat thickness, fat thickness obtained by ultrasound. Two SNP the [LEP 1620(A/G) 305(T/C)] K232A mutation analyzed. sample consisted 357 heifers from 2 weight a control line, established 1980, at Estação Experimental de Zootecnia Sertãozinho (Sertãozinho, Brazil)....
Reproductive traits are of the utmost importance for any livestock farming, but difficult to measure and interpret since they influenced by various factors. The objective this study was detect associations between known polymorphisms in candidate genes related sexual precocity Nellore heifers, which could be used breeding programs. Records 1,689 precocious non-precocious heifers from farms participating Conexão Delta G program were analyzed. A subset single nucleotide (SNP) located region at...
Summary Horse owners choose whether or not to train American Saddlebred horses ( ASH s) perform the 4‐beat gaits called rack and slow gait. The gait are similar ambling shown be associated with variation in DMRT 3 gene other breeds but trained rather than naturally occurring gaits. A premature stop codon _Ser301 STOP ) caused by Ch23:g.22999655C>A SNP has an effect on pattern of locomotion allows for pacing strong association performance diverse breeds. We used horse show records identify...
Data from 79,884 Nellore breed animals were used to estimate genetic parameters and evaluate the relationships among scores of conformation, precocity musculature obtained at weaning after yearling ages weight mature females. It was restricted maximum likelihood method in a multi-trait analysis with model that included direct additive residual effects, as random fixed effects contemporary group and, covariables, animal age weighing dam calving (except for females adult age). Contemporary...
ABSTRACT: Some horse breeds are highly selected for athletic activities. The potential of each animal can be measured by its performance in sports. High depends on the capacity to produce energy through aerobic and anaerobic metabolic pathways, among other factors. Transmembrane proteins called monocarboxylate transporters, mainly isoform 1 (MCT1) ancillary protein CD147, help organism adapt physiological stress caused physical exercise, transporting lactate H+ ions. Horse different purposes...
Nos ultimos anos, a equinocultura no Brasil se desenvolveu e ganhou importância nas atividades de esporte lazer. O complexo do agronegocio cavalo relevante cenario nacional o pais apresenta destaque na importacao exportacao animais vivos. A cavalos corrida tem aumentado as tecnicas melhoramento genetico visando melhor desempenho esportivo sido almejadas por criadores, apesar distanciamento destes com os centros pesquisa. Estudos cientificos foram publicados em varias areas da producao...
