A reproductive phenotype that has high variability, repeatability, heritability, and association with fertility could become an excellent candidate for genetic selection to augment fertility in dairy cows. Therefore, the general objective of this research was to evaluate the aforementioned...

Genomic selection for pork quality and carcass traits in both cross- and pure-bred populations
DownloadSpring 2015
Pork quality and carcass characteristics are now being integrated into swine breeding objectives because of their economic value. Understanding the genetic basis for these traits is necessary for this to be accomplished. The main objective of this study was to improve pork quality traits in two...

Relationship between trained sensory and objective measured meat quality attributes in crossbred Canadian beef cattle after 3- and 29-days post-mortem aging
DownloadSpring 2022
Meat quality attributes are pivotal for the beef industry. Studies across Canada showed major beef quality concerns originate from inconsistency of palatability attributes. To improve these traits genetically, they should be standardly measured, their (co)variance components and genetic...
