WILD HORSE AND BURRO ADVISORY BOARD MEETING ************************************************* >> IF EVERYBODY CAN TAKE THEIR SEATS, WE'LL GET STARTED. IT'S ALMOST 8:00, AND I LIKE TO KEEP EVERYTHING ON TIME IF WE CAN. >> I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME EVERYBODY TO THE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL BLM WILD HORSE AND BURRO ADVISORY BOARD MEETING. IF THERE ARE VETERAN IN THE ROOM, WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO STAND AT THIS TIME SO WE CAN RECOGNIZE YOU. IF YOU REMAIN STANDING AND EVERYONE ELSE STAND TOO, WE'LL SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. >> I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. AT THIS TIME, AS WE GET STARTED, I'M GOING TO TURN THE MICROPHONE OVER TO OUR MODERATOR. DANIEL IS GOING TO TALK TO US, DANIEL ADAMS. DAN, IF YOU WOULD, HAVE AT IT. >> DAN: GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE. I'M GOING TO GO OVER A COUPLE OF LOGISTICS SO WE HAVE AN EFFECTIVE MEETING TODAY AND TOMORROW. EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THIS SHEET AT THE REGISTRATION TABLE. WE'LL WALKTHROUGH THIS QUICK. THESE ARE WHAT WE CALL THE RULES OF THE ROOM. OUR HOPE AND INTENT IS THAT BY EVERYONE LISTENING AND FOLLOWING THE RULES, WE'LL HAVE A GOOD MEETING. FIRST IS ABOUT SEATING FOR ATTENDEES. IF YOU WISH TO STAND, THAT YOU WOULD DO SO IN THE STANDING AREA IN THE BACK. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE CAN SEE THE BOARD. IF YOU CAN STAY SEATED, THAT HELPS A LOT. SPEAKERS WILL BE SEATED AT THIS TABLE. THE COMMENT PERIOD IS TOMORROW. THERE WILL BE A ROSTER SET UP TO DO THAT. WE ASK PEOPLE NOT TO COME FORWARD PAST THE RED LINE IN FRONT OF THE CHAIRS. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO APPROACH UNLESS YOU HAVE APPROVAL FROM THE CHAIR. THE MEDIA, THERE IS A TAPED OFF SPACE IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM FOR THE MEDIA TO SET UP. ATTENDEES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLACE MICROPHONES OR CAMERAS IN THE SPACE SET ASIDE FOR THE BOARD MEETING. WE ASK YOU TO KEEP THOSE IN THE BACK. NUMBER FIVE, ALL ATTENDEES SHOW MUTUAL RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER AND THE BOARD. WE ASK YOU TO REFRAIN FROM USING CELLPHONES OR TALKING DURING THE MEETING. IF YOU HAVE A PHONE CALL, WE ASK YOU TAKE THAT OUTSIDE. IF ANYONE DISRUPTS THE MEETING, THEY'LL BE ASKED TO LEAVE OR ESCORTED OUT. THOSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE BOARD, AS I MENTIONED, THERE IS A SIGN UP IN THE BACK. THE COMMENT PERIOD IS TOMORROW. THIS MEETING IS FOR THE BOARD. WE ARE HERE TO HELP THEM AND GET THEM THE INFORMATION THEY NEED TO DO THE WORK THEY DO. ONE OF THE THINGS, WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO SIGN UP, WHEN WE HAVE THE COMMENT PERIOD, TIME TOMORROW, WE'LL BASE THAT ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, SO IT'S IMPORTANT IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK, THAT YOU DO THAT. ATTENDEES WISHING TO PROVIDE HANDOUTS TO THE BOARD, LEAVE THEM AT THE TABLE WHEN YOU COME IN. HANDOUTS WILL NOT BE AT THE SPEAKER TABLE AND NO ONE MAY APPROACH THE BOARD WITH HANDOUTS. ATTENDEES MAY NOT OBSCURE THE VIEW OF PARTICIPANTS OR DISRUPT THE MEETING. NUMBER 10, THE BOARD WILL NOT BE ALLOWED COMMENTS DURING THE MEETING. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE BOARD AGREES OR DISAGREES WITH ANYTHING SAID. THE BOARD HAS THE RIGHT TO SHARE COMMENTS DURING THE PERIOD AND WE MAINTAIN THE RULES FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL INVOLVED AND APPRECIATES THE COOPERATION OF THE RULES. WE SHARE IN COMMON THAT WE WANT TO DO THINGS GOOD FOR WILDLIFE AND THE RANGE. WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER AND HAVE A GREAT MEETING. WE ARE EXCITED TO GET STARTED AND GET GOING. LOGISTICS, SAFETY IS IMPORTANT. IS THERE ANY REASON TO VACATE THE BUILDING, EXITING THE BACK DOORS HERE? TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THERE ARE EXITS YOU CAN GET TO. THERE ARE RESTROOMS OUT THE DOOR TO THE LEFT AND THEN RIGHT OR PAST THE REGISTRATION DESK AT THE FRONT, THERE ARE ALSO RESTROOMS THERE. DID I MISS ANYTHING, FRED? >> FRED: I THINK YOU HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB. AN OUTSTANDING JOB. >> DAN: THANKS. WE'LL TURN IT BACK TO FRED. >> FRED: WE APPRECIATE EVERYONE COMING. WE HAVE NEW BOARD MEMBERS. WE'LL INTRODUCE THE BOARD TO YOU. I'LL ASK THEM TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND SAY A BIT ABOUT THEMSELVES, ANYTHING THEY WANT TO SAY. WE START WITH DR. BARRY PERMAN. >> I'M A PROFESSOR OF MANAGEMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO. >> I'M CAP GINGER CATHERINE. I'M A NATURAL HISTORY MAKER. I SOUND UNDER WATER. >> I'M JIM FRENCH FROM HUMBOLDT COUNTY, NEVADA. I WORK FOR THE NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE. >> I'M AN EQUINE VETERINARIAN. >> I'M CELESTE CARLISLE. I HAVE BEEN IN BIOLOGY FOR A LONG TIME. I'M THE PROJECT MANAGE FOR RETURN TO FREEDOM, WILD HORSE CONSERVATION. >> I'M STEVEN YEARDLEY. I'M A CATTLE RANCHER IN YOU SAW. I'M HERE TO PRESENT LIVE STOCK MANAGEMENT ON THE BOARD. >> I'M BEN MASTERS. I SIT AS WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT ON THE BOARD. I'M FRED WOOL. I HAVE THE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO SERVE AS CHAIRMAN OF THIS BUNCH OF CATS. IT'S LIKE HERDING CATS, BUT IT'S FUN. WE HAVE WITH US TODAY MR. KRISTIN BAIL. SHE'S THE ONE IN CHARGE OF THE MEETING. I'M TURN IT OVER TO HER TO HER GIVE YOU COMMENTS THIS MORNING. KRISTIN, IT'S YOURS. >> KRISTIN: THANK YOU, FRED. ONE THING I DON'T HAVE IS A GOOD VOICE. I APOLOGIZE. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. I KNOW SOME OF YOU TRAVELED QUITE A WAYS. I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED BY THE PASSION AND DEDICATION OF EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAM AND WHO CARES ABOUT THE HORSES AND RANGE LAND UPON WHICH THEY ATTEND. THANK YOU FOR THOSE ATTENDING TODAY AND FOR THOSE ATTENDING ON LIVE STREAM. WE HAVE A GREAT GROUP OF FOLKS THAT TRAVEL HERE AND DO AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF SETUP TO BRING THE LIVE STREAM TO YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THAT. I WANT TO INTRODUCE BRUCE RITTENHOUSE. HE IS FILLING IN FOR DEAN. I AM KRISTIN BAIL, DIRECTOR OF RESOURCES AND PLANNING. TODAY I AM THE DESIGNATED FEDERAL OFFICIAL FOR THE WILD HORSE AND BURRO ADVISORY BOARD. I WANT TO THANK OUR MEMBERS FOR THEIR SERVICE, THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO DEALING WITH TOUGH, COMPLEX AND IMPORTANT ISSUES. DR. MCDONNELL, ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS HAD A PREVIOUS COMMITMENT AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND IN PERSON. SHE IS PARTICIPATING THROUGH THE PHONE. I WANT TO THANK HER FOR TAKING TIME TO CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE EVEN WITH THE CHALLENGES OF COMMITMENT. I WANT TO JOIN FRED IN WELCOMING OUR NEW MEMBERS, DR. PERRYMAN, DR. LENZ AND CELESTE CARLISLE. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. IT TAKES A LARGE TEAM TO PUT THESE MEETINGS TOGETHER. I WANT TO THANK OUR WASHINGTON OFFICE, WILD HORSE AND BURRO BOARD STAFF. TODAY, WE'LL START TWO DAYS OF DIALOGUE ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES. THE HEALTHY, CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE IS FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS. WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING A VARIETY OF IMPORTANT PRESENTATIONS. THAT IS TO INFORM ALL OF US AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN THE PROGRAM TO HELP THE BOARD PROVIDE RECOMMENDATION TO THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT. WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR THE BOARD'S AND OUR PRESENTER'S INSIGHTS AS WE WORK TOWARD HAVING A HEALTHY, PRODUCTIVE AND THRIVING ECOLOGICAL BALANCE FOR OUR HORSE HERDS. ONE THING WITH THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS, AND SOME OF YOU MAY BE LESS KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT ADVISORY BOARD ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, AND I WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO EXPLAIN THOSE. AN ADVISORY BOARD IS A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE GIVEN BECAUSE THE FEDERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACT PRETTY MUCH GIVES BOARDS THE RIGHT TO PROVIDE GROUP ADVICE TO AN AGENCY. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF A CHARTERED ADVISORY BOARD. THE BOARD IS HERE TO OFFER ADVICE AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SECRETARIES OF BOTH INTERIOR AND SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE. WE HAVE FRIENDS FROM THE FOREST SERVICE HERE TODAY PROVIDING PRESENTATIONS. THEY PROVIDE INPUT TO THE AGENCY RESPONSIBILITY YOU SAID THE WILD HORSE AND BURRO. FORMAL BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS ARE DONE BY A VOTE. THAT VOTE DOES NOT REQUIRE UNANIMOUS CONSENT. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE APPROVED EVEN IF THERE IS NOT A 100% CONSENSUS. JUST A MAJORITY. WE DO ENCOURAGE THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS WORK TO ACHIEVE CONSENSUS, BUT THESE ARE TOUGH ISSUES. IT IS TOUGH BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE STRONG, VALID APPROACHES TO WHAT SHOULD BE DONE, AND WE DON'T ALWAYS REACH 100% AGREEMENT ON HOW THAT IS FORWARD. WE DO WORK VERY, VERY MUCH TOGETHER TO WORK ON THOSE AREAS THAT WE HAVE AGREEMENT. I CALL WORKING ON THE VIOLENT AGREEMENT THAT WE ACHIEVE IN A LOT OF AREAS. WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT DIVERSE, IMPORTANT, CHALLENGING DIALOGUE, AND MOVE TOGETHER TO REACH CONSENSUS WHERE WE CAN. IT'S OKAY IF YOU WONDER WHY WE DON'T HAVE UNANIMOUS VOTES. IT'S OKAY BECAUSE WE WANT TO HONOR THE FACT THAT THERE ARE DIVERSE OPINIONS, AND THE BOARD CAN'T ALWAYS REACH CONSENSUS. I MENTIONED ADVISORY BOARDS AND COUNCILS. THE BLM HAS 37 CHARTERED RESOURCE ADVISORY COUNCILS SIMILAR IN FUNCTION BUT DIFFERENT IN THEIR MAKEUP COVERING LAND MANAGEMENT BOARDS. THEY CAN INCLUDE MEMBERS OF TRIBES, MEMBERS OF INDUSTRY, ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS, RECREATION INTERESTS, ETC. THEY ALL HAVE A CHARTER LIKE THE ADVISORY BOARD DOES.

  • Essential Genetics for the Horseman
    Essential Genetics for the Horseman Whether you are an owner, breeder, rider or other equine enthusiast, there are some essential genetics that can help you to make the most of your journey. This primer is meant to introduce you to the basics of inheritance. Over the last decade, scientific research in equine genetics and the mapping of the equine genome has led to a number of interesting and valuable discoveries. Some of these are directly relevant to the Arabian breed, especially the discoveries relating to disease genes. However, a number of very interesting insights about the entire equine species have been discovered. DNA and Genes The basic starting material for genetics in all species is their DNA. The horse genome (the collection of all the DNA in each cell of the horse) has been completely sequenced, just like in the human. The genome of the horse consists of about 2.7 billion base pairs (the basic unit of DNA, abbreviated by G, A, T, C). This is in comparison to the human genome that has just over 3.0 billion base pairs. When these base pairs are strung together in sets of a few thousand at a time, they provide the ‘blueprint’ for about 20,000 different genes in the horse. About 17,000 of these genes are very similar both in sequence and in function to the corresponding human gene. Chromosomes These genes are physically located on 64 chromosomes in 32 pairs, located in every cell of the horse. Each foal receives a set of 32 chromosomes containing 20,000 genes from its’ dam and also a set from its’ sire.

However, the occurrence of CNVs in horses and their subsequent impact on phenotypic variation is unknown. We performed a study to identify CNVs in 16 horses representing 15 distinct breeds (Equus caballus) and an individual gray donkey (Equus asinus) using a whole- exome tiling array and the array comparative genomic hybridization methodology. We identified 2368 CNVs ranging in size from 197 bp to 3.5 Mb. Merging identical CNVs from each animal yielded 775 CNV regions (CNVRs), involving 1707 protein- and RNA-coding genes. The number of CNVs per animal ranged from 55 to 347, with median and mean sizes of CNVs of 5.3 kb and 99.4 kb, respectively. Approximately 6% of the genes investigated were affected by a CNV. Biological process enrichment analysis indicated CNVs primarily affected genes involved in sensory perception, signal transduction, and metabolism.

Centromeres are epigenetically specified, and binding of the CENPA protein is their main determinant. In previous work, we described the first example of a natural satellite-free centromere on Equus caballus Chromosome 11. Here, we investigated the satellite-free centromeres of Equus asinus by using ChIP-seq with anti-CENPA an- tibodies. We identified an extraordinarily high number of centromeres lacking satellite DNA (16 of 31). All of them lay in LINE- and AT-rich regions. A subset of these centromeres is associated with DNA amplification. The location of CENPA binding domains can vary in different individuals, giving rise to epialleles.

  • A Genome-Wide Association Study for Harness Racing Success in the Norwegian- Swedish Coldblooded Trotter Reveals Genes for Learning and Energy Metabolism Brandon D
    Velie et al. BMC Genetics (2018) 19:80 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12863-018-0670-3 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access A genome-wide association study for harness racing success in the Norwegian- Swedish coldblooded trotter reveals genes for learning and energy metabolism Brandon D. Velie1* , Kim Jäderkvist Fegraeus1, Marina Solé1, Maria K. Rosengren1, Knut H. Røed2, Carl-Fredrik Ihler3, Eric Strand3 and Gabriella Lindgren1,4 Abstract Background: Although harness racing is of high economic importance to the global equine industry, significant genomic resources have yet to be applied to mapping harness racing success. To identify genomic regions associated with harness racing success, the current study performs genome-wide association analyses with three racing performance traits in the Norwegian-Swedish Coldblooded Trotter using the 670 K Axiom Equine Genotyping Array. Results: Following quality control, 613 horses and 359,635 SNPs were retained for further analysis. After strict Bonferroni correction, nine genome-wide significant SNPs were identified for career earnings. No genome-wide significant SNPs were identified for number of gallops or best km time. However, four suggestive genome-wide significant SNPs were identified for number of gallops, while 19 were identified for best km time. Multiple genes related to intelligence, energy metabolism, and immune function were identified as potential candidate genes for harness racing success. Conclusions: Apart from the physiological requirements needed for a harness racing horse to be successful, the results of the current study also advocate learning ability and memory as important elements for harness racing success. Further exploration into the mental capacity required for a horse to achieve racing success is likely warranted.
