Livestock production both contributes to and is affected by climate change. In addition to the
physiological effects of higher temperatures on individual animals, the consequences of …

Generating breeding programmes that effectively improve farmed fish performance across
multiple environments and make fish more uniform within production environments would …

The present study is based on data recorded from fish of the third generation of the GIFT
project (Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias). The objective of the study was to …

Over the last decade, extensive research effort has been placed on developing methane
mitigation strategies in ruminants. Many disciplines on animal science disciplines have been …

The Australian sheep industry aims to increase the efficiency of sheep production by
decreasing the amount of feed eaten by sheep. Also, feed intake is related to methane …

The objectives of this work were to assess alternative linear reaction norm (RN) models for
genetic evaluation of Angus cattle in Brazil. That is, we investigated the interaction between …

Pig and poultry production relies on crossbreeding of purebred populations to produce
production animals. In those breeding schemes, selection takes place within the purebred …

Genotype by environment interactions (GxE) are very common in livestock and hamper
genetic improvement. On the other hand, GxE is a source of genetic variation: genetic …

Genetic parameters and selection responses were obtained for growth of Progift Nile tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus) in China after six generations of multi-trait selection. About 64,000 …

The interest in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is growing due to their benefits such
as increased productivity, better control over animal care, reduced environmental effects …
