Host contributes to longitudinal diversity of fecal microbiota in swine selected for lean growth
MICROBIOME, 6(1).
Contributors: D. Lu n, F. Tiezzi n, C. Schillebeeckx, N. McNulty, C. Schwab, C. Shull, n
author keywords: Fecal microbiome; Longitudinal changes; Diversity; Genetic parameters

TL;DR:
Two novel findings are reported: alpha diversity and operational taxonomic unit (OTU) richness were moderately heritable at week 15, whereas very low heritability estimates for both measures were detected at weaning; and alpha diversity at week15 had strong and negative genetic correlations with BF.

TL;DR:
This study suggests that selection for RCT and a30 should not be performed on correlated traits such as SCS or CAS but on direct measures because the ability of milk to coagulate is improved through the causal effect that the former play on the latter, rather than from a common source of genetic variation.

MeSH headings : Animals; Bayes Theorem; Breeding / methods; Cattle; Dairying; Female; Genomics / methods; Mastitis, Bovine / epidemiology; Mastitis, Bovine / genetics; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
Investigation of the predictive ability of two-stage and single-step genomic selection methods applied to health data collected from on-farm computer systems in the U.S. found single-step methods have several advantages compared to two-step methods; however, the latter led to the smallest number of wrong predictions.

Inferring causal relationships between reproductive and metabolic health disorders and production traits in first-lactation US Holsteins using recursive models
JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 98(4), 2713–2726.
Contributors: K. Dhakal n, F. Tiezzi n, J. Clay * & n
author keywords: causal effect; health; persistency; structural equation model
MeSH headings : Animals; Bayes Theorem; Cattle; Cattle Diseases / genetics; Female; Lactation / genetics; Metabolic Diseases / genetics; Metabolic Diseases / veterinary; Models, Biological; Pregnancy; Reproduction / genetics; Retrospective Studies
TL;DR:
It is concluded that a health disorder occurring in early lactation has a moderate causal effect on the reproductive or metabolic health disorders occurring in later lactation, and the results obtained suggest that reproductive and metabolic health disorder and culling due to metabolic and reproductive diseases have strong causal relationships.

Short communication: Genomic selection for hoof lesions in first-parity US Holsteins
JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 98(5), 3502–3507.

author keywords: genomic selection; hoof lesions; reliability
MeSH headings : Animals; Cattle; Cattle Diseases / genetics; Female; Foot Diseases / genetics; Foot Diseases / veterinary; Genomics; Hoof and Claw / metabolism; Parity; Pedigree; Phenotype; Pregnancy; Selection, Genetic; United States
TL;DR:
Pedigree- and genomic-based univariate analyses were conducted to estimate the variance components and heritability of infectious and noninfectious hoof lesions of US Holsteins and confirmed low genetic correlations between hoof lesion traits and hoof type traits along with productive life and net merit.

Variance component estimates for alternative litter size traits in swine
JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 93(11), 5153–5163.
Contributors: A. Putz n, F. Tiezzi n, n , K. Gray & M. Knauer n
author keywords: birth weight; genetic correlation; litter size at d 5; piglet survival
MeSH headings : Animals; Birth Weight / genetics; Breeding; Female; Genetic Variation; Lactation / genetics; Litter Size / genetics; Parturition / genetics; Phenotype; Pregnancy; Swine / genetics; Swine / physiology; Weaning
TL;DR:
Litter size at d 10 would be a compromise between gain in litter size at weaning and minimizing the potentially negative effects of the nurse dam and direct additive genetics of the piglets, as they are expected to increase throughout lactation.

Feed intake, average daily gain, feed efficiency, and real-time ultrasound traits in Duroc pigs: I. Genetic parameter estimation and accuracy of genomic prediction
JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 92(6), 2377–2386.
Contributors: S. Jiao n, n , K. Gray & J. Cassady n
author keywords: Duroc; genetic parameters; genomic prediction; growth and feed efficiency; ultrasound traits
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Genomics; Genotype; Male; Models, Biological; Pedigree; Swine / genetics; Swine / physiology; Weight Gain / genetics; Weight Gain / physiology
TL;DR:
Investigation of heritability and genetic correlations for growth, feed efficiency, and real-time ultrasound traits using both pedigree and marker information and accuracy of genomic prediction for those traits using Bayes A prediction models in a Duroc terminal sire population indicated selection solely on growth traits may lead to an undesirable increase in feed intake, back fat, and reduced feed efficiency.
