There is considerable interest in whether genetic data can be used to improve standard cardiovascular disease risk calculators, as the latter are routinely clinical practice manage preventative treatment.Using UK Biobank resource, we developed our own polygenic score for coronary artery (CAD). We an additional 60 000 individuals develop integrated tool (IRT) that combined with established tools (either American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology pooled cohort equations [PCE] or...
The effects of stocking density (STD) on leg weakness in broiler chickens was assessed two trials. interaction between age and STD further evaluated one trial. In Trial 1, walking ability at 28, 42, 49 d age. Birds were stocked 833, 625, or 435 cm2 per bird. 2, birds 625 455 bird for tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) by radiographic examination 28 35 d. Foot pad burn, hock angulation the joint also slaughter Day 42. Body weight measured during both At 4 wk age, a relatively minor problem; few...
Thirteen genotypes of poultry were selected to represent a wide range growth profiles and fed either non‐limiting or Label Rouge diet. The birds' degree lameness liveweight measured after 54 81 days. birds reared on the diets less lame than same genotype More traditional slower growing tended be modern feeding regimen. All birds, irrespective their diet, days However, when was included in analysis as covariable, many differences disappeared. Only age at assessment significantly affected...
A total of 2,118 birds from 2 strains were allocated to 12 groups 93 100 each in time-separated replicates. The development foot pad dermatitis (FPD) and hock burn (HB) recorded weekly d 8 slaughter on a set sample live animals (7 per group). In addition, feet hocks all investigated at either 4, 6 (fast-growing strain), 8, or 10 (slow-growing strain) wk age. Lesions scored for both the left right classified according scale 1 (no lesion) 9 (very severe lesions) FPD 3 HB. No lesions very few...
The milk fat profile of the Danish Holstein (DH) and Jersey (DJ) show clear differences. Identification genomic regions, genes biological pathways underlying biosynthesis will improve understanding biology bovine production may provide new possibilities to change composition by selective breeding. In this study a genome wide association scan (GWAS) in DH DJ was performed for detailed fatty acid (FA) using HD SNP array subsequently pathway analysis based on data performed. GWAS identified...
Predicting individual quantitative trait phenotypes from high-resolution genomic polymorphism data is important for personalized medicine in humans, plant and animal breeding, adaptive evolution. However, this difficult populations of unrelated individuals when the number causal variants low relative to total polymorphisms individually have small effects on traits. We hypothesized that mapping molecular features such as genes their gene ontology categories could increase accuracy prediction...
Livestock manure is a major source of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). The emissions can be mitigated by production biogas through anaerobic digestion (AD) manure, mostly together with other biowastes, which substitute fossil energy thereby reduce CO2 postdigestion GHG emissions. This paper presents balances for biowaste management as affected AD five Danish scenarios in pig cattle slurry were codigested one or more following biomasses: deep litter, straw,...
Acidification through plasma treatment technology presents a potential solution to mitigate nitrogen losses throughout the manure management chain, offering dual benefit of atmospheric incorporation into manures while inducing acidification. This study evaluated use and effectiveness as one-time acidification strategy for digested slurry during long-term storage, its effects on (N) availability subsequent release in soil. A digestate from full-scale anaerobic digester was separated using...
Slurry acidification using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is an effective strategy for reducing ammonia and methane emissions during storage while providing a valuable source of sulfur (S) crops. However, the optimal H2SO4 dose balancing emission mitigation, S availability, cost-effectiveness remains unclear, particularly concerning formation undesirable sulfides storage. This study investigated effects on transformations cattle slurry (CS), anaerobically digested (DS), liquid fraction separated...
Abstract 1. Genetic variables of feather pecking (FP) behaviour in a 1993 commercial pure line White Leghorns were estimated at the age 6, 38 and 69 weeks. 2.

A trial was conducted to investigate the susceptibility of different genotypes broilers leg weakness. Four crosses commercial broiler lines were assessed. Birds reared on diets at stocking densities. Indices weakness examined included: walking ability, tibial dyschondroplasia (TD), foot pad burn, hock and angulation joint. Body weight feed efficiency also measured. There small differences in BW among crosses; however, there large some indices crosses. Three had similar prevalence TD; one...
Abstract Connecting genome-wide association study (GWAS) to biological mechanisms underlying complex traits is a major challenge. Mastitis resistance and milk production are of economic importance in the dairy sector associated with intra-mammary infection (IMI). Here, we integrated IMI-relevant RNA-Seq data from Holstein cattle sequence-based GWAS three breeds ( i.e ., Holstein, Nordic red cattle, Jersey) explore genetic basis mastitis using post-GWAS analyses genomic feature linear mixed...
In animal breeding, genetic variance for complex traits is often estimated using linear mixed models that incorporate information from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers a realized genomic relationship matrix. such models, individual are weighted equally and variation treated as "black box." This approach useful selecting animals with high potential, but it does not generate or utilise knowledge of the biological mechanisms underlying trait variation. Here we propose mixed-model...
