One of the factors affecting the reliability of genomic prediction is the relationship among the animals of interest. This study investigated the reliability of genomic prediction in various scenarios with regard to the relationship between test and ...
BACKGROUND: Recently, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been proposed as promising machines for marker-based genomic predictions of complex traits in animal and plant breeding. ANN are universal approximators of complex functions, that can captur...
Pork is the most widely consumed meat globally, and the industry has achieved substantial genetic advancements for several traits using genomic selection. However, traditional linear genomic prediction models may be inadequate for predicting complex ...
BACKGROUND: Brachycephalic dog breeds often exhibit a suite of extreme conformations linked with several severe and long-term disorders. Despite this, ownership levels of brachycephalic breeds remain high internationally, with physical appearance bei...
Reproductive efficiency is a crucial determinant of livestock productivity, with sperm quality being a key factor in successful fertilization. The quantitative assessment of spermatozoa using computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) yields valuable ki...
Duck is one of the most widely distributed waterfowl in the world, with more than 6 billion of them farmed annually in the world, and has great economic and ecological value. Amidst mounting global prioritization of duck genetic resource exploration ...
