The genetic diversity of African pigs, whether domestic or wild has not been widely studied and there is very limited published information available. Available data suggests that African domestic pigs originate from different domestication centers as opposed to international commercial breeds. W...
Body linear measurements, and specifically heart girth (HG), have been shown to be useful predictors of cattle liveweight. To test the accuracy of body linear measurements for predicting liveweight, crossbred dairy cattle of different genotypes were measured and weighed. A total of 352 mature cow...
Because cattle can be raised postweaning under several feeding regimes, this study examined the consistency of phenotypic and genetic parameters of some production and feeding behaviour traits between two feeding periods that beef cattle received a finisher diet. Crossbred steers (n = 851) were u...
Uniquely selected breeds bred over thousands of years of domestication in awide range of environments have been declared extinct over the last century. Still morebreeds are at risk of becoming extinct and the rate continues to accelerate. Assessing thecurrent status and possible future dynamics o...
Because of the moderate heritability and the expense associated with collection of feed intake data, effective selection for residual feed intake (RFI) would be enhanced if marker assisted evaluation were used for accurate estimation of genetic merit. In this study, a suite of genetic markers pre...
The benefit of using genomic breeding values (GEBV) in predicting ADG, DMI and residual feed intake (RFI) for an admixed population was investigated. Phenotypic data consisting of individual daily feed intake measurements for 721 beef cattle steers tested over 5 yr was available for analysis. The...
