GENOMIC SELECTION IMPROVES RESPONSE TO SELECTION IN RESILIENCE BY EXPLOITING GENOTYPE BY ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS

Genomic selection improves response to selection in resilience by exploiting genotype by environment interactions

Genotype by environment interactions (GxE) are very common in livestock and hamper genetic improvement.On the other hand, GxE is a source of genetic variation: genetic variation in response to environment, e.g.environmental perturbations such as heat stress or disease.In livestock breeding, there is tendency to ignore GxE because of increased compl

SANITARY EVALUATION OF MILK PRODUCTS IN MOUNTAIN DAIRIES

between 2006 and 2007 881 samples of “malga” (little mountain dairies) milk products were analysed to estimate their hygienic characteristics.Several samples showed high counts for Escherichia coli and coagulase-positive staphylococci, while Salmonella truvisionhealthftp.com spp.and Campylobacter spp.were absent in all of the samples; 0
