Strategies to improve the efficiency of beef cattle production
Globally, there are approximately one billion beef cattle, and compared with poultry and
swine, beef cattle have the poorest conversion efficiency of feed to meat. However, these …

Combined application of biochar and nitrogen fertilizer improves rice yield, microbial activity and N-metabolism in a pot experiment
The excessive use of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers in rice (Oryza sativa L.) has resulted in
high N loss, soil degradation, and environmental pollution in a changing climate. Soil …

Genome-wide association scan for heterotic quantitative trait loci in multi-breed and crossbred beef cattle
Background Heterosis has been suggested to be caused by dominance effects. We
performed a joint genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) using data from multi-breed …
