  • 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).

  • Bosheuvel Cattle Options
    3rd Edition Meer Vleis Per Hektaar More Meat Per Hectare Bosheuvel Cattle Options “Your Gateway To Cattle Farming” Presented by Mitch van den Bos 1 Pinzgauer Overview Meer Vleis Per Hektaar More Meat Per Hectare Pinzgauer Cattle are a dual purpose cattle breed from the Pinzgau region of the federal state of Salzburg in Austria. They are distinctively coloured with chestnut brown sides and white back and underside. They can be naturally polled. The breed is classed as endangered.According to genetic and morphological studies, the Pinzgauer cattle breed is most closely related to North German lowland breeds. The Pinzgauer was first referred to as a breed in 1846, and prior to this called "Pinzgauer Fasel" or "Pinzgauer Schlag." They were originally bred for milk, beef, and draft work. In the 19th century, they were bred into strong stock for work on farms, at breweries, and in sugar-beet areas. In its heyday, the Pinzgauer became the most popular cattle breed in Austria-Hungary, subsequently expanding through Eastern Europe. The Bavarian Pinzgauer Cattle Breeding Association was founded in 1896. By December 1890, the Pinzgauer population had grown to 101,880 in Bavaria. The Pinzgauer breed has a naturally polled type, the Jochberg Cattle. Now that Pinzgauers are not yoked, and the hornless breed is best adapted to modern husbandry. The animals are auburn in colour. A luscious chestnut-colour is the breeding target. Black animals have occurred, but rarely, and were once seen as a curse. After 1900, black bulls were removed from the breeding system, and the black colour vanished.

  • The Genetic Heritage of Alpine Local Cattle Breeds Using Genomic SNP
    Senczuk et al. Genet Sel Evol (2020) 52:40 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12711-020-00559-1 Genetics Selection Evolution RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The genetic heritage of Alpine local cattle breeds using genomic SNP data Gabriele Senczuk1, Salvatore Mastrangelo2* , Elena Ciani3, Luca Battaglini4, Filippo Cendron5, Roberta Ciampolini6, Paola Crepaldi7, Roberto Mantovani5, Graziella Bongioni8, Giulio Pagnacco9, Baldassare Portolano2, Attilio Rossoni10, Fabio Pilla1 and Martino Cassandro5 Abstract Background: Assessment of genetic diversity and population structure provides important control metrics to avoid genetic erosion, inbreeding depression and crossbreeding between exotic and locally-adapted cattle breeds since these events can have deleterious consequences and eventually lead to extinction. Historically, the Alpine Arc represents an important pocket of cattle biodiversity with a large number of autochthonous breeds that provide a fundamental source of income for the entire regional economy. By using genotype data from medium-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays, we performed a genome-wide comparative study of 23 cattle populations from the Alpine Arc and three cosmopolitan breeds. Results: After fltering, we obtained a fnal genotyping dataset consisting of 30,176 SNPs for 711 individuals. The local breeds showed high or intermediate values of genetic diversity compared to the highly selected cosmopolitan breeds. Patterns of genetic diferentiation, multidimensional scaling, admixture analysis and the constructed phylo- genetic tree showed convergence, which indicates the presence of gene fow among the breeds according to both geographic origin and historical background. Among the most diferentiated breeds, we identifed the modern Brown cattle. In spite of admixture events, several local breeds have preserved distinctive characteristics, which is probably due to diferences in genetic origin and geographic location.

  • Breeds of Beef and Multi-Purpose Cattle
    BREEDS OF BEEF AND MULTI-PURPOSE CATTLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The inspiration for writing this book goes back to my undergraduate student days at Iowa State University when I enrolled in the course, “Breeds of Livestock,” taught by the late Dr. Roy Kottman, who was then the Associate Dean of Agriculture for Undergraduate Instruction. I was also inspired by my livestock judging team coach, Professor James Kiser, who took us to many great livestock breeders’ farms for practice judging workouts. I also wish to acknowledge the late Dr. Ronald H. Nelson, former Chairman of the Department of Animal Science at Michigan State University. Dr. Nelson offered me an Instructorship position in 1957 to pursue an advanced degree as well as teach a number of undergraduate courses, including “Breeds of Livestock.” I enjoyed my work so much that I never left, and remained at Michigan State for my entire 47-year career in Animal Science. During this career, I had an opportunity to judge shows involving a significant number of the breeds of cattle reviewed in this book. I wish to acknowledge the various associations who invited me to judge their shows and become acquainted with their breeders. Furthermore, I want to express thanks to my spouse, Dr. Leah Cox Ritchie, for her patience while working on this book, and to Ms. Nancy Perkins for her expertise in typing the original manuscript. I also want to acknowledge the late Dr. Hilton Briggs, the author of the textbook, “Modern Breeds of Livestock.” I admired him greatly and was honored to become his close friend in the later years of his life.
