Abstract:

We accept that we are responsible for the quality of life of animals in our care. We accept that the activities of man affect all the living things with which we share this planet. But we are slow to realize that as a result we have a duty of care for all living things. That duty extends to the breeding of animals for which we are responsible. When animals are bred by man for a purpose, the aim should be to meet certain goals: to improve the precision with which breeding outcomes can be predicted; to avoid the introduction and advance of characteristics deleterious to well-being; and to manage

Abstract:

Ten breeds of meat and combined productivity are bred in Ukraine, of which six are crossborder breeds and four are Ukrainian breeds developed through combination crossbreeding of local breeds with cross-border breeds. These breeds are located in different natural and climatic and agricultural zones, so it is important to investigate the indicators of meat productivity of breeds and the factors that influence them. The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of the breed, agricultural climate zone (zone) and calendar year (year) on the studied characteristics of meat cattle and to e

Abstract:

Two of the major steps in animal breeding programmes are (i) estimation of breeding values for a defined selection objective (such as milk production or carcass lean content), and (ii) design of optimum breeding programmes, including proportion of animals selected as parents, population size etc. Advances in electronics, and particularly in computer technology, have had a major Impact on these procedures in a number of ways. In this paper we aim to highlight four of these.The preferred method of estimating breeding values is universally recognised to be BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction).

Abstract:

Single-locus disorders in domesticated animals were among the first Mendelian traits to be documented after the rediscovery of Mendelism, and to be included in early linkage maps. The use of linkage maps and (increasingly) comparative genomics has been central to the identification of the causative gene for single-locus disorders of considerable practical importance. The ‘score-card’ in domestic animals is now more than 100 disorders for which the molecular lesion has been identified and hence for which a DNA test is available. Because of the limited lifespan of any such test, a cost-effective

Abstract:

Observing animal movements enables us to understand animal behavior changes, such as migration, interaction, foraging, and nesting. Based on spatiotemporal changes in weather and season, animals instinctively change their position for foraging, nesting, or breeding. It is known that moving patterns are closely related to their traits. Analyzing and predicting animals’ movement patterns according to spatiotemporal change offers an opportunity to understand their unique traits and acquire ecological insights into animals. Hence, in this paper, we propose an animal movement prediction scheme usin

Abstract:

Farming and agriculture are vital to our survival and we have domesticated around 35 species of animals, many of which are farmed for food. Cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, goats and horses have been some of the animals whose domestication has played a key role in advancing human civilisation through added food security and these have been selectively bred over thousands of years to develop a variety of breeds, each of which offer particular characteristics to suit certain needs or local conditions. However, globalisation and standardisation have led to the loss of many of these diverse breeds, wi

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence (AI) has enormous possibilities in the field of animal science. It can be used to help improve animal health, nutrition, and management. Here are some of the ways AI is being used in animal science such as breeding programs, livestock monitoring, feed optimization, disease diagnosis, animal reproduction, and animal welfare, etc. AI can be applied to animal production in several ways. One of its primaries uses in animal production is to monitor the health and behavior of animals. Sensors and cameras can be used to collect data on various aspects of animal behavior, such

Abstract:

Current animal breeding approaches are strongly associated with the development of sophisticated molecular genetics methods and techniques. Worldwide expansion of genomic selection can be achieved by the identification of genetic DNA markers and implementation of the microarray (“chip”) technology. Further advancement was associated with next-generation sequencing methods, high-throughput genotyping platforms, targeted genome editing techniques, and studies of epigenetic mechanisms. The remarkable development of “omics” technologies, such as genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics a

Abstract:

In recent years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and metabolome genome-wide association studies (mGWAS) have emerged as crucial methods for investigating complex traits in animals and plants. These have played pivotal roles in research on livestock and poultry breeding, facilitating a deeper understanding of genetic diversity, the relationship between genes, and genetic bases in livestock and poultry. This article provides a review of the applications of GWAS and mGWAS in animal genetic breeding, aiming to offer reference and inspiration for relevant researchers, promote innovation in a
