Genomic prediction (GP) aims to predict the breeding values of multiple complex traits, usually assumed to be multivariate normally distributed by the largely used statistical methods, thus imposing linear genetic relationships between traits. Althou...

BACKGROUND: Limited universally-adopted data standards in veterinary medicine hinder data interoperability and therefore integration and comparison; this ultimately impedes the application of existing information-based tools to support advancement in...
Accurate breed classification is required for the conservation and utilization of farm animal genetic resources. Traditional classification methods mainly rely on phenotypic characterization. However, it is difficult to distinguish between the highly...
The aim of this study was to compare the predictive performance of the Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (GBLUP) and machine learning methods (Random Forest, RF; Support Vector Machine, SVM; Artificial Neural Network, ANN) in simulated populatio...
The current livestock management landscape is transitioning to a high-throughput digital era where large amounts of information captured by systems of electro-optical, acoustical, mechanical, and biosensors is stored and analyzed on a daily and hourl...
Neural networks (NNs) have emerged as a new tool for genomic selection (GS) in animal breeding. However, the properties of NN used in GS for the prediction of phenotypic outcomes are not well characterized due to the problem of over-parameterization ...
Mature Simmental × Angus cows (214 cows; 635 ± 7 kg) were utilized to determine the effects of late gestation and early postpartum supplementation of methionine hydroxy analog (MHA) on cow BW, BCS, milk production, milk composition, reproduction, and...
Data collected for 10 or more years at the West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte, NE ( = 1,104); the Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory, Whitman, NE ( = 1,333); and the USDA, ARS, Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory, Mi...
A 3-yr study utilized 300 Angus-based, spring-born heifers to evaluate postweaning heifer development systems on gain, reproductive performance, and feed efficiency as a pregnant heifer. Heifers were blocked by BW and randomly assigned to graze corn ...
We hypothesized that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would impact utero-placental mRNA expression of the nutrient transporters , , , , and in beef heifers. Crossbred Angus heifers (n = 49) were estrous synchronized, bred via AI, assigned to n...
