Estimation of genetic parameters related to eggshell strength using random re...
This study examined the changes in eggshell strength and the genetic parameters related to this trait throughout a hen’s laying life using random regression.2. The data were... -
Genetic diversity and differentiation of the Western Leopard Toad (<i>Sclerop...
Intraspecific genetic diversity provides the basis for evolutionary change and is therefore considered the most fundamental level of biodiversity. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and... -
Animal Welfare Worldwide, the Opinion of Practicing Veterinarians
The objective of this study was to investigate the animal welfare issues considered the most important by companion animal veterinarians worldwide. For this purpose, a global... -

Intraspecific killing among Leopards ( <i>Panthera pardus</i> ) in Iran (Mamm...
Intraspecific aggression is one of the most common causes of death in leopards. Here, we report four cases of intraspecific killing amongst Persian Leopards (Panthera pardus... -
Assessing the genetic diversity conserved in the Norwegian live poultry genebank
The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic diversity within and between lines at the Norwegian live poultry gene bank as well as assessing the conservation value in an... -

We compared the morphological characters of populations of the Caucasian Pit Viper, Gloydius halys caucasicus, from different regions of the Alborz mountain range. For this... -
Effect of fibre sources on performance, serum parameters, intestinal morpholo...
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of wheat bran (WB) as insoluble fibre source, and sugar beet pulp (SBP) as soluble fibre source, on performance, serum... -
Biological determinants of research effort on Australian birds: a comparative...
Research effort is not uniform among bird species and may be influenced by multiple biological and environmental factors. Using a phylogenetic comparative approach we examined... -
Diversity of breeding practices is linked to the use of collective tools for ...
For breeding schemes based on a diversity of production systems, there is a growing challenge in combining standardised tools for the collective genetic improvement of a breed... -
Genetic parameters of the thick-to-thin albumen ratio and egg compositional t...
Generating a robust egg albumen is one of the major factors contributing to interior egg quality owing to its nutritive value and superior appearance. However, the genetic... -
Missense mutations of NCPAG gene affect calving ease in Piedmontese cattle: p...
A previous genome scan on 323 Piedmontese individuals identified a cluster of 13 SNPs significantly associated with direct calving ease and centred on the three genes LAP3,... -

Pair fidelity in long-lived parrots: genetic and behavioural evidence from th...
Genetic analyses have revolutionised our understanding of avian mating systems. However, the majority of such studies to date have focused on passerine species. Despite this... -
Genetic diversity of autochthonous pig breeds analyzed by microsatellite mark...
The evaluation of the genetic structure of autochthonous pig breeds is very important for conservation of local pig breeds and preservation of diversity. In this study, 18... -
Analysis of Pig Vomeronasal Receptor Type 1 (V1R) Promoter Region Reveals a C...
Promoters are, generally, located immediately upstream of a transcription start site (TSS) and have a variety of regulatory motifs, such as transcription factors (TFs) and CpG... -
Characterization of two pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 isolates in China
For over three decades, there has been a continuing panzootic caused by a virulent variant avian paramyxovirus type 1 strain, the so-called pigeon paramyxovirus type 1. It is...
