Genome-wide pattern of runs of homozygosity (ROH) across ovine genome can provide a
useful resource for studying diversity and demography history in sheep. We analyzed 50 k …

Among the gastrointestinal nematodes affecting sheep, Haemonchus contortus is the most
prevalent and virulent, resulting in health problems and production losses. Therefore …

As one of the earliest livestock, sheep (Ovis aries) were domesticated in the Fertile Crescent
about 12,000–10,000 years ago and have a nearly worldwide distribution today. Most of our …

The aim of this study was to assess the population structure and genetic diversity along with
determining the accuracy of ongoing selection program in a closed flock of Intercross sheep …

This study assessed the feasibility of in vivo embryo production and nonsurgical embryo
recovery (NSER) in Morada Nova ewes (an endangered native Brazilian breed of sheep) …

The objective of this work was to use biometric measurements to predict carcass
characteristics of lambs of the Morada Nova breed. We used 48 lambs with mean initial body …

Pedigree analysis is an important tool for assessing genetic variability and detecting
heritage patterns in domestic animals. This study aimed to (1) assess genetic variability,(2) …

The objective of this study was to use pedigree analysis to describe the population structure,
genetic variability and inbreeding to quantify their effects on growth traits in Shall sheep. The …

Due to the critical population status of the Morada Nova breed, this research aimed to carry
out an additional study of fine genetic structure, using thousands of SNP markers, to support …

Background The integration of molecular data from hosts, parasites, and microbiota can
enhance our understanding of the complex biological interactions underlying the resistance …
