Background Gastrointestinal nematodes constitute a major cause of morbidity and mortality
in grazing ruminants. Individual animals or breeds, however, are known to differ in their …

Microbial community profiles have been associated with a variety of traits, including methane

Anthelmintic treatment of adult ewes is widely practiced to remove parasite burdens in the
expectation of increased ruminant productivity. However, the broad activity spectra of many …

In developing countries, the use of simple and cost‐efficient molecular technology is crucial
for genetic characterization of local animal resources and better development of …

Background Rumen microbes break down complex dietary carbohydrates into energy sources
for the host and are increasingly shown to be a key aspect of animal performance. Host …

Deer farming is a significant international industry. For genetic improvement, using genomic
tools, an ordered array of DNA variants and associated flanking sequence across the …

Background Producing animal protein while reducing the animal’s impact on the environment,
eg, through improved feed efficiency and lowered methane emissions, has gained …
