Modeling host-microbiome interactions for the prediction of meat quality and carcass composition traits in swine

GENETICS SELECTION EVOLUTION, 52(1).

By: P. Khanal n, C. Maltecca n , C. Schwab, J. Fix*, M. Bergamaschi n & F. Tiezzi  n

Contributors: P. Khanal n, C. Maltecca n , C. Schwab, J. Fix*, M. Bergamaschi n & F. Tiezzi  n

MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; Genome-Wide Association Study / methods; Host-Pathogen Interactions / genetics; Male; Metagenome; Models, Genetic; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Pork Meat / standards; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Swine / genetics; Swine / microbiology
TL;DR: Inclusion of microbiome information in the model improved predictive ability of phenotypes for fat deposition and color traits whereas including a genome-by-microbiome term did not improve prediction accuracy significantly, providing novel insight on the use of microbiome Information for the phenotypic prediction of meat quality and carcass traits in swine.

Pure-breeding with sexed semen and crossbreeding with semen of double-muscled sires to improve beef production from dairy herds: Factors affecting heifer and cow fertility and the sex ratio

JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 103(6), 5246–5257.

By: G. Bittante *, R. Negrini *, M. Bergamaschi n, A. Cecchinato * & H. Toledo-Alvarado *

author keywords: X-sorted semen; beef cross; dairy breed; replacement heifer; heat stress on fertility
MeSH headings : Animal Husbandry / methods; Animals; Cattle / physiology; Dairying; Female; Fertility; Hybridization, Genetic; Male; Semen; Sex Preselection / veterinary; Sex Ratio
TL;DR: The combined use of sexed semen, especially on heifers, to produce purebred replacement females and beef semen to produce terminal crossbred calves was shown to have the potential to increase overall herd fertility, which could be further improved using sexed dairy semen to produced dairy crossbreds instead of purebred replacements.

By: G. Bittante *, R. Negrini *, M. Bergamaschi n, Q. Ni *, N. Patel *, H. Toledo-Alvarado *, A. Cecchinato *

author keywords: X-sorted semen; beef breed; dairy breed; carcass trait; carcass muscularity
MeSH headings : Animals; Cattle / genetics; Farms; Female; Hybridization, Genetic; Male; Meat; Red Meat; Semen
TL;DR: It is concluded that the combined use of sexed semen for purebreeding and conventional beef semen for terminal crossbreeding improves meat production from dairy herds, especially when the sires are double-muscled beef breeds. (via Semantic Scholar)

Short communication: Pure-breeding with sexed semen and crossbreeding with semen from double-muscled sires to improve beef production from dairy herds: Weight and value of calves

JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 103(6), 5258–5262.

By: G. Bittante *, R. Negrini *, M. Bergamaschi n, A. Cecchinato * & H. Toledo-Alvarado *

author keywords: X-sorted semen; calf price; calf value; beef breed; dairy breed
MeSH headings : Animal Husbandry / economics; Animal Husbandry / methods; Animals; Body Weight; Cattle / physiology; Dairying / economics; Female; Hybridization, Genetic; Male; Semen; Sex Preselection / veterinary
TL;DR: A survey of 1,285 crossbred calves showed that they are destined not only for veal production (like purebred dairy calves) but also for beef production, and the combined use of sexed semen for pure-breeding and conventional beef semen for terminal crossbreeding can increase the income from dairy farms.
