Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of new technologies, as well as a greater attention to the needs ofconsumers and society, has promoted the development of novel traits in dairy cattle. However, several steps must be followed from the proposal until the implementation of novel traits into breeding programs. This process requires efforts from the definition of the new trait, exploration of the genetic basis of the trait, the development of proper methods, and finally the implementation of a national genetic evaluation. This thesis addresses different aspects of the development and implementation of novel traits, including definition of the phenotype, better understanding of the biological processes affecting the trait, identification of putative causal variants and genes, and finally a feasibility study of a national genetic evaluation. Specifically, this thesis evaluated different body temperature phenotypes as potential indicators of feed efficiency traits, investigated visceral fat deposition and its relationship with metabolic disorders, uncovered putative causal variants for periparturient hypocalcemia, and explored the implementation of a national genetic evaluation for Johne's disease. The first study showed that body temperature can be used as an indicator of feed efficiency and energy-related traits. The second study revealed that visceral fat accumulation is associated with inflammation, insulin resistance, and immune response, and its genetically linked to displaced abomasum. The third study identified genetic variants and individual genes affecting postpartum blood calcium concentration. The last study showed that a national genetic evaluation for Johne's Disease in Holsteins is feasible. Overall, this work has performed a comprehensive investigation of the different steps required for the development and implementation of novel traits in dairy cattle.

This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conservation, sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources (AqGR) is critical to the future supply of fish. The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is the first ever global assessment of these resources, with the scope of this first Report being limited to cultured AqGR and their wild relatives, within national jurisdiction. The Report draws on 92 reports from FAO member countries and five specially commissioned thematic background studies. The reporting countries are responsible for 96 percent of global aquaculture production. The Report sets the context with a review of the state of world’s aquaculture and fisheries and includes overviews of the uses and exchanges of AqGR, the drivers and trends impacting AqGR and the extent of ex situ and in situ conservation efforts. The Report also investigates the roles of stakeholders in AqGR and the levels of activity in research, education, training and extension, and reviews national policies and the levels of regional and international cooperation on AqGR. Finally, needs and challenges are assessed in the context of the findings from the data collected from the countries. The Report represents a snapshot of the present status of AqGR and forms a valuable technical reference document, particularly where it presents standardized key terminology and concepts.

This book was released on 2010-03-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation of quantitative genetics theory was developed during the last century and facilitated many successful breeding programs for cultivated plants and t- restrial livestock. The results have been almost universally impressive, and today nearly all agricultural production utilises genetically improved seed and animals. The aquaculture industry can learn a great deal from these experiences, because the basic theory behind selective breeding is the same for all species. The ?rst published selection experiments in aquaculture started in 1920 s to improve disease resistance in ?sh, but it was not before the 1970 s that the ?rst family based breeding program was initiated for Atlantic salmon in Norway by AKVAFORSK. Unfortunately, the subsequent implementation of selective breeding on a wider scale in aquaculture has been slow, and despite the dramatic gains that have been demonstrated in a number of species, less than 10% of world aquaculture production is currently based on improved stocks. For the long-term sustainability of aquaculture production, there is an urgent need to develop and implement e- cient breeding programs for all species under commercial production. The ability for aquaculture to successfully meet the demands of an ever increasing human p- ulation, will rely on genetically improved stocks that utilise feed, water and land resources in an ef?cient way. Technological advances like genome sequences of aquaculture species, and advanced molecular methods means that there are new and exciting prospects for building on these well-established methods into the future.
