Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II (DRB3) Genetic Diversity in Spanish Morucha and Colombian Normande Cattle Compared to Taurine and Zebu Populations
(2020)
Bovine leukocyte antigens (BoLA) have been used as disease markers and immunological traits in cattle due to their primary role in pathogen recognition by the immune system. A higher MHC allele diversity in a population ...
Genetic evaluations in cattle using the single-step genomic best linear unbiased predictor
(2020)
Las evaluaciones genéticas convencionales han estado enmarcadas en la estimación de valores
genéticos a partir de los sistemas de ecuaciones de modelos mixtos que consideran efectos aleatorios y fijos simultáneamente. En ...
Population structure and genetic diversity in Colombian Simmental cattle
(2020)
A vital requirement to design and implement a breeding program is to know the structure and genetic diversity of a population. The aim of this study was to characterize population structure and genetic diversity of the ...
Preliminary study of ivermectin residues in bovine livers in the Bogota Savanna
(2020)
The present study tended to determine the ivermectin residues in cattle livers using the competitive ELISA technique and correlate gender and age variables with residual presence. Also, it was described the histopathological ...
Comparing Class II MHC DRB3 Diversity in Colombian Simmental and Simbrah Cattle Across Worldwide Bovine Populations
(2022)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) exerts great influence on responses to infectious diseases and vaccination due to its fundamental role in the adaptive immune system. Knowledge about MHC polymorphism distribution ...
Economic values for index improvement of dual-purpose Simmental cattle
(2020)
he selection index methodology is the best approach to increase profit in animal production by genetic selection due to the use of economic values for breeding goals. The aim of this study was to derive economic values ...
Carcass and meat quality of Nellore cattle (Bos taurus indicus) belonging to the breeding programs
(2020)
The objective of this study was to estimate and describe phenotypic traits for carcass and meat quality in Nellore cattle belonging to the breeding programs. Data from 718 Nellore animals participated in the Delta Gen, CRV ...
Experimental intoxication of Brahman (Bos indicus) heifers with Enterolobium cyclocarpum fruits
(2022)
Enterolobium cyclocarpum is a poisonous plant distributed throughout the Americas. The E. cyclocarpum fruits have high toxic potential for cattle in Colombia and the clinical signs and pathological lesions are ill-defined. ...
Transcriptome profile in the skeletal muscle of cattle progeny as a function of maternal protein supplementation during mid-gestation
(2022)
This study aimed to evaluate the differentially expressed genes (DEG), their biological functions, and the main predictor genes in skeletal muscle of the offspring resulting from dams supplemented or not with protein during ...
Selection indexes to optimise genetic and economic progress in Colombian Blanco Orejinegro cattle
(2022)
The use of selection indexes optimises genetic and economic gains in a population. The objective of this study was to propose and compare selection indexes built with economic and statistical methodologies in Colombian ...
