The aim of this study was to detect different alleles the prolactin receptor (PRLR) gene and examine their effects on litter size indigenous Hungarian pig, Mangalica. G1789A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) investigated as a candidate for size. Samples from 80 purebred Mangalica sows data 335 litters were provided by Olmos & Tóth Ltd. Hair follicles used isolate required DNA. Allelic discrimination performed means polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP) method...
Abstract. In order to identify potential variances in gene expression of phenotypically different pig breeds, six fat-metabolism-related genes were analyzed backfat and muscle tissues fat-type Mangalica (MAN), × Duroc (MD), lean-type Hungarian Large White (HLW) Pietrain (PD) pigs by means quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Higher (P < 0.05) adipocyte fatty-acid-binding protein (A-FABP) was observed purebred crossbred MAN than those HLW PD. all breeds crosses, adiponectin...
Different housing technology, breed, age and nutrition can contribute to changes in the composition of microbial communities pigs. Faecal samples from groups Mangalica commercial pigs were collected analysed by qPCR order identify differences regarding quantity total faecal bacteria, Prevotella genus, Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium Enterococcus spp. family Enterobacteriaceae . In both pig samples, quantities bacteria increased weaner lactating sows. The relative was larger (p<0.05)...
Objective: Effects of linseed oil (LO) supplementation on the fat content and fatty acid profile breast meat, expression three genes in liver, muscle tissues commercial 154-day-old hybrid male turkeys were investigated.Methods: The animals control group fed a commercially available feed received no LO (n = 70), whereas 70) same basic diet supplemented with (day 15 to 21, 0.5%; day 22 112, 1%). effect dietary composition was examined by gas chromatography, desaturase 2...
The authors study the current status of Hungarian Cikta Sheep based on genetic background scrapie resistance. aim this investigation was to estimate relative frequency prion haplotypes, -genotypes, and risk categories as well reveal efficiency eradication program achieved over last decade. confirmed larger sample size previous knowledge, that resistance against breed is considered low, classification according category has not been improved. However, frequent genotype ARQ 3 can also be for...
Traditional selection has led to remarkable differences in allele frequencies among various chicken breeds. Indigenous and broiler-type populations were genotyped for polymorphisms thyroid hormone responsive Spot14α , prolactin ( PRL ), IGF-binding protein 2 IGFBP2 somatostatin SST ) genes order determine potential utilisation type-associated frequencies. Significant P < 0.05) detected between Hungarian Yellow broiler Spot14α, frequencies, whereas the same (A) was fixed both groups. In...
Profitability of beef-cattle farming was examined by economic modelling.The effect the length grazing period on profitability and weight same traits evaluated.Examinations were carried out supposing 130, 160, 190 220 days.ECOWEIGHT program used for modelling.According to results examination, beef cattle profitable in each case when weaned calf price 600-700 HUF/kg or above.From point view, category period, pregnancy rate cows proved be most important trait.This reproduction trait followed...

In broiler chickens, the intensive selection for growth rate, feed efficiency, body composition (breast muscle weight) traits in last decades was successful. To improve economically important characteristics, it is possible to use molecular markers associated with meat production traits. The aim of this study examine genotype polymorphisms ROSS 308 broilers thyroid hormone responsive Spot14α, insulinlike factor 1 (IGF1), IGF-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2), somatostatin (SST) and prolactin (PRL)...
This paper gives a summary of the possibility for applying genomic information breeding value estimation in beef cattle breeding. process is called prediction and now widely used dairy globally as well some sheep populations. The advantage more accurate estimate genetic merit an individual at young age thereby facilitating greater annual gain, predominantly through shorter generation intervals. Genomic predictions are advantageous sex-linked (e.g., milk yield), low heritability fertility)...
