Abbasabadi H, Bakhtiarizadeh M, Moradi M, McEwan J
Front Vet Sci . 2024 Oct; 11:1415027. PMID: 39403211
Understanding the genetic background behind fat-tail development in sheep can be useful to develop breeding programs for genetic improvement, while the genetic basis of fat-tail formation is still not well...

Volkova N, Romanov M, Abdelmanova A, Larionova P, German N, Vetokh A, et al.
Genes (Basel) . 2024 Mar; 15(3). PMID: 38540354
The search for SNPs and candidate genes that determine the manifestation of major selected traits is one crucial objective for genomic selection aimed at increasing poultry production efficiency. Here, we...

Volkova N, Romanov M, Abdelmanova A, Larionova P, German N, Vetokh A, et al.
Animals (Basel) . 2023 Nov; 13(22). PMID: 38003057
Traces of long-term artificial selection can be detected in genomes of domesticated birds via whole-genome screening using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. This study thus examined putative genomic regions under selection...

Zhang R, Wu G, Staincliffe M, McEwan J, Farouk M
Foods . 2023 Nov; 12(21). PMID: 37959150
Meat is an important source of high-value protein providing sustainable nutrition for human health. The discolouration of meat results in significant waste, which threatens the sustainability of meat production in...

Hess M, Hodgkinson H, Hess A, Zetouni L, Budel J, Henry H, et al.
BMC Genomics . 2023 Sep; 24(1):551. PMID: 37723422
Background: Producing animal protein while reducing the animal's impact on the environment, e.g., through improved feed efficiency and lowered methane emissions, has gained interest in recent years. Genetic selection is...
6.
Hess M, Zetouni L, Hess A, Budel J, Dodds K, Henry H, et al.
Genet Sel Evol . 2023 Jul; 55(1):53. PMID: 37491204
Background: Rumen microbes break down complex dietary carbohydrates into energy sources for the host and are increasingly shown to be a key aspect of animal performance. Host genotypes can be...

Keane O, Carthy T, Hanrahan J, Matthews D, McEwan J, Rowe S, et al.
Anim Genet . 2023 Jan; 54(2):104-112. PMID: 36639915
Intestinal atresia is an under-diagnosed congenital defect in cattle. It results in complete occlusion of the intestinal lumen and, unless surgically corrected, results in death or euthanasia of the affected...

Hickey S, Bain W, Bilton T, Greer G, Elmes S, Bryson B, et al.
Front Genet . 2022 Oct; 13:910413. PMID: 36246641
Enteric methane emissions from ruminants account for ∼35% of New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions. This poses a significant threat to the pastoral sector. Breeding has been shown to successfully lower...

Johnson P, Hickey S, Knowler K, Wing J, Bryson B, Hall M, et al.
Front Genet . 2022 Sep; 13:911639. PMID: 36051695
There is simultaneous interest in improving the feed efficiency of ruminant livestock and reducing methane (CH) emissions. The relationship (genetic and phenotypic) between feed efficiency (characterized as residual feed intake:...

Moradi M, Nejati-Javaremi A, Moradi-Shahrbabak M, Dodds K, Brauning R, McEwan J
Animals (Basel) . 2022 Jun; 12(11). PMID: 35681887
The fat tail is a phenotype that divides indigenous Iranian sheep genetic resources into two major groups. The objective of the present study is to refine the map location of...
