This review summarizes the results from the INRA (Institut National de la Recherche
Agronomique) divergent selection experiment on residual feed intake (RFI) in growing Large …

Simple Summary After domestication in specific regions, livestock followed human
migrations and colonized the whole world. During this population expansion, human and …

Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays for domestic cattle have
catalyzed the identification of genetic markers associated with complex traits for inclusion in …

Background Efficiency of feed utilization is important for animal production because it can
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve industry profitability. However, the genetic …

Italy has a long history in beef production, with local breeds such as Marchigiana, Chianina,
Romagnola, Maremmana, and Podolica which produce high-quality meat. Selection has …

Background Body size traits as one of the main breeding selection criteria was widely used
to monitor cattle growth and to evaluate the selection response. In this study, body size was …

The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated
with feed efficiency in lactating Holstein cows. In total, 4,916 cows with actual or imputed …

Here, we describe a worldwide haplotype map for soybean (GmHapMap) constructed using
whole‐genome sequence data for 1007 Glycine max accessions and yielding 14.9 million …

Background Feed accounts for about 70% of the total cost of poultry meat production.
Residual feed intake (RFI) has become the preferred measure of feed efficiency because it …

The aim was to conduct a weighted single‐step genome‐wide association study to detect
genomic regions and putative candidate genes related to residual feed intake, dry matter …
