2018 journal article
A comparison of accuracy validation methods for genomic and pedigree-based predictions of swine litter size traits using Large White and simulated data
JOURNAL OF ANIMAL BREEDING AND GENETICS, 135(1), 5–13.
Contributors: A. Putz n, F. Tiezzi n, C. Maltecca n , K. Gray & M. Knauer n
author keywords: accuracy comparison; accuracy validation; litter size; piglet mortality; single-step GBLUP
MeSH headings : Animals; Breeding; Female; Genomics; Litter Size / genetics; Male; Models, Statistical; Pedigree; Swine / genetics; Swine / physiology
TL;DR:
Results suggest that for within-breed selection, theoretical accuracy using PEV was consistent and accurate and correlating predictions to the corrected phenotypes divided by the square root of the heritability is adequate given a large enough validation data set.

Including gene networks to predict calving difficulty in Holstein, Brown Swiss and Jersey cattle
BMC GENETICS, 19(1).
Contributors: F. Tiezzi n, M. Arceo n, J. Cole* & C. Maltecca n
author keywords: Dystocia; Dairy cattle; Genome-wide association analysis; Biological networks
MeSH headings : Animals; Cattle / genetics; Dystocia / genetics; Dystocia / veterinary; Female; Gene Regulatory Networks; Genome-Wide Association Study; Pelvis; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Pregnancy; Quantitative Trait Loci
TL;DR:
Regions identified in the genome were in the proximity of previously described quantitative trait loci that would most likely affect calving difficulty by altering the feto-pelvic proportion and did not outperform regular GBLUP models.

Design and biological effects of a vaginally administered gel containing the GnRH agonist, triptorelin, for synchronizing ovulation in swine
THERIOGENOLOGY, 112, 44–52.
author keywords: Al; Fertility; OvuGel; Ovulation; Pig; Synchronization
MeSH headings : Administration, Intravaginal; Animals; Estrus Synchronization / methods; Female; Fertility / drug effects; Fertility Agents, Female; Insemination, Artificial / methods; Insemination, Artificial / veterinary; Ovulation / drug effects; Ovulation Induction / methods; Ovulation Induction / veterinary; Pregnancy; Swine; Triptorelin Pamoate / administration & dosage; Vaginal Creams, Foams, and Jellies / chemistry; Weaning
TL;DR:
A novel gel formulation was selected for intravaginal delivery of the GnRH agonist (triptorelin) for synchronizing ovulation in pigs and the optimum time to give a single fixed time AI (SFT-AI) after administration of 200 μg of triptorelin in 1.2% gel (OvuGel®) at 96 h after weaning was tested.

Bacterial and fungal communities, fermentation, and aerobic stability of conventional hybrids and brown midrib hybrids ensiled at low moisture with or without a homo- and heterofermentative inoculant
JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 101(4), 3057–3076.
Contributors: J. Romero *, Y. Joo *, J. Park n, F. Tiezzi n, E. Gutierrez-Rodriguez n & M. Castillo n
author keywords: silage; inoculant; hybrid; next-generation sequencing
MeSH headings : Bacteria / classification; Fermentation; Fungi / classification; Microbiota / physiology; Nutritive Value; Random Allocation; Silage / analysis; Silage / microbiology; Zea mays / chemistry
TL;DR:
The INO treatment used in this study improved low-moisture whole-crop corn silage quality because of a shift in the bacterial and fungal community composition during ensiling.

author keywords: swine; pharmacogenomics; heritability; fenbendazole; flunixin meglumine
TL;DR:
A low to moderate proportion of the phenotypic variation in metabolizing fenbendazole and flunixin meglumine drug metabolism was explained by genetics in the current study.

Effects of timing of vaccination relative to weaning and post-weaning frequency of energy supplementation on growth and immunity of beef calves
JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 96(1), 318–330.
author keywords: cattle; frequency of supplementation; immune system; vaccination
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animals; Cattle; Cattle Diseases / prevention & control; Diet / veterinary; Female; Immunity, Humoral; Immunization Schedule; Male; Vaccination / veterinary; Vaccines / administration & dosage; Vaccines / immunology; Viral Vaccines / administration & dosage; Viral Vaccines / immunology; Weaning
TL;DR:
Post-weaning vaccination and daily energy supplementation alleviated inflammation and improved humoral immunity compared with pre-weaned vaccination and reduced post- weaning frequency of energy supplementation of recently weaned beef calves.

Effects of gradual reduction in frequency of energy supplementation on growth and immunity of beef steers
JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 96(1), 273–283.
author keywords: immune; steers; supplementation frequency; vaccination
