158 RAZAS EUROPEAS DE GANADO BOVINO CARACTERÍSTICAS FUNCIONALES Esta raza se ha conservado solamente por su aptitud al combate y todas las demás características están subordinadas a ésta. Inclu- sive las hembras de casta han de haber pasado una tienta destinada a determinar su bravura y su agresividad, y cuando las vacas están con sus terneros únicamente cabe acercarse a ellas con cuidado pues detestan a los intrusos y sus reacciones son rápidas y fieras. Mu- chas vacas paren únicamente cada dos arios. Los machos que poseen el vigor y la agresividad necesarios se destinan a la lidia. Los animales de ambos sexos que son más tími- dos y dóciles, se eliminan en unas pruebas especiales y a veces se venden para el matadero. Los rendimientos a la canal son a menudo sorprendentemente buenos y pueden alcanzar hasta el 60 por ciento, pero la canal contiene una gran proporción de cortes delanteros cuya calidad gastronómica es inferior. ORGANIZACIÓN DE LA CRIANZA La Unión de Criadores de Toros de Lidia desapareció durante la guerra civil y más tarde se sustituyó por el Subgrupo de Criadores de Toros de Lidia perteneciente al Sindicato Vertical de Ganadería. Dicho Subgrupo se divide en tres zonas, a saber:Centro, Sur y Salamanca, y los criadores pueden clasificarse en varias categorías según las características de las plazas en donde sus toros tengan que combatir. No esfácil conseguir datos fidedignos sobreel número de animales de esta raza, pero se emplean anualmente unos 7.500 toros en las plazas de toros reconocidas oficialmente en España y la pobla- ción total es probablemente de unos 70.000 animales. -

Revisiting AFLP Fingerprinting for an Unbiased Assessment of Genetic
Utsunomiya et al. BMC Genetics 2014, 15:47 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2156/15/47 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Revisiting AFLP fingerprinting for an unbiased assessment of genetic structure and differentiation of taurine and zebu cattle Yuri Tani Utsunomiya1†, Lorenzo Bomba2†, Giordana Lucente2, Licia Colli2,3, Riccardo Negrini2, Johannes Arjen Lenstra4, Georg Erhardt5, José Fernando Garcia1,6, Paolo Ajmone-Marsan2,3* and European Cattle Genetic Diversity Consortium Abstract Background: Descendants from the extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius), taurine (Bos taurus) and zebu cattle (Bos indicus) were domesticated 10,000 years ago in Southwestern and Southern Asia, respectively, and colonized the world undergoing complex events of admixture and selection. Molecular data, in particular genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, can complement historic and archaeological records to elucidate these past events. However, SNP ascertainment in cattle has been optimized for taurine breeds, imposing limitations to the study of diversity in zebu cattle. As amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers are discovered and genotyped as the samples are assayed, this type of marker is free of ascertainment bias. In order to obtain unbiased assessments of genetic differentiation and structure in taurine and zebu cattle, we analyzed a dataset of 135 AFLP markers in 1,593 samples from 13 zebu and 58 taurine breeds, representing nine continental areas. Results: We found a geographical pattern of expected heterozygosity in European taurine breeds decreasing with the distance from the domestication centre, arguing against a large-scale introgression from European or African aurochs. Zebu cattle were found to be at least as diverse as taurine cattle. -

It has been observed that milk from different cattle breeds with the same casein composite genotype shows different chemical and coagulation properties. The aim of this work was to characterize CSN1S1, CSN2 and CSN3 gene variants in Agerolese cattle, an Italian autochthonous breed, milk of which is used to produce “Provolone del Monaco”, a PDO cheese with a relevant economic interest for the Lattari Mountains area and the Sorrento Peninsula (Naples, Italy). -

1 Genetic and Productive Characterization of The
ISSN 1330-7142 UDK = 636.2:636.082 GENETIC AND PRODUCTIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BURLINA CATTLE BREED Chiara Dalvit, R. Dal Zotto, M. De Marchi, M. Cassandro Original scientific paper SUMMARY The Burlina (BUR) is a local Italian cattle breed, its main feature is to be a small sized animal well adapted to live in difficult environment such as mountain areas. Nowadays only 350 cows are enrolled in the Italian Herd Book due to its substitution by more productive breeds. This study proposes a phenotypic and genetic characterization of the BUR breed in comparison with Holstein Friesian (HFR) and Brown Swiss (BSW). The comparison of productive traits showed lower production than HFR and BSW as well as longer productive life and more favourable reproductive traits in BUR animals. The genetic analyses, performed by microsatellites markers, showed the high level of heterozygosity and the genetic distinctiveness of BUR. These findings approve the feasibility of a conservation scheme and suggest the profitability of breeding BUR, especially in difficult environment where the low production can be compensated by longevity and the economic loss by the added value of its typical dairy production. Key-words: Burlina cattle breed, genetic characterization, conservation. INTRODUCTION The Burlina (BUR) is local dairy cattle breed reared in North-East Italy; it is a small sized animal with black spotted coat, well adapted to live in difficult environment as marginal mountain areas thank to its good grazing characteristics. BUR is mainly found in the mountain area of Veneto region (Del Bo et al., 2001) where it has always been reared and appreciated by local farmers. -
The Enigmatic Origin of Bovine Mtdna Haplogroup R: Sporadic Interbreeding Or an Independent Event of Bos Primigenius Domestication in Italy?

Silvia Bonfiglio1, Alessandro Achilli1,2, Anna Olivieri1, Riccardo Negrini3, Licia Colli3, Luigi Liotta4, Paolo Ajmone-Marsan3, Antonio Torroni1, Luca Ferretti1* 1 Dipartimento di Genetica e Microbiologia, Universita` di Pavia, Pavia, Italy, 2 Dipartimento di Biologia Cellulare e Ambientale, Universita` di Perugia, Perugia, Italy, 3 Istituto di Zootecnica, Universita` Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza, Italy, 4 Dipartimento di Morfologia, Biochimica, Fisiologia e Produzioni Animali, Universita` di Messina, Messina, Italy Abstract Background: When domestic taurine cattle diffused from the Fertile Crescent, local wild aurochsen (Bos primigenius) were still numerous. Moreover, aurochsen and introduced cattle often coexisted for millennia, thus providing potential conditions not only for spontaneous interbreeding, but also for pastoralists to create secondary domestication centers involving local aurochs populations. Recent mitochondrial genomes analyses revealed that not all modern taurine mtDNAs belong to the shallow macro-haplogroup T of Near Eastern origin, as demonstrated by the detection of three branches (P, Q and R) radiating prior to the T node in the bovine phylogeny. These uncommon haplogroups represent excellent tools to evaluate if sporadic interbreeding or even additional events of cattle domestication occurred. Methodology: The survey of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control-region variation of 1,747 bovine samples (1,128 new and 619 from previous studies) belonging to 37 European breeds allowed the identification of 16 novel non-T mtDNAs, which after complete genome sequencing were confirmed as members of haplogroups Q and R. -

“THIS LAND IS GOOD FOR THIS ANIMAL”: A METHODOLOGY TO SEE THE KNOWLEDGE DYNAMICS COMMUNICATED AMONG SARDO-MODICANA BREEDERS IN A TIME OF SCIENTIFIC UNCERTAINTY AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROBABILITIES By Cynthia Vagnetti A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Rhetoric and Writing 2012 ABSTRACT “THIS LAND IS GOOD FOR THIS ANIMAL”: A METHODOLOGY TO SEE THE KNOWLEDGE DYNAMICS COMMUNICATED AMONG SARDO-MODICANA BREEDERS IN A TIME OF SCIENTIFIC UNCERTAINTY AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROBABILITIES By Cynthia Vagnetti For this dissertation, I designed and conducted qualitative research adhering to an ethno- graphic approach that builds on the notion of culture as narrative. This study will contribute to the growing literature addressing how visual data can be applied in narrative inquiry. One of the challenges for researchers and practitioners in rural development is getting at sensory or embodied knowledge so that it can be made conscious and represented through language. Interdisciplinary investigations that align rural conservation studies with language-based fields are gaining interest among policy makers and funding institutions. This dissertation provides evidence that a documentary video toolkit enlarges an emic perspective of situated practices, grounded in local knowledge, that necessarily serves the interests of scientific re- search. Specifically when focusing through the lens of a camera, attention can be directed to- wards tacit knowledge or specifically, “the practices that exists in people’s hands and in their actions.” For this dissertation, I am seeking the knowledge dynamics communicated among Sardo-Modicana breeders, whose livelihood depends on the well-being of this rare and en- dangered breed of cattle.
