Effect of the composition of starter diet fed in the rearing phase on the performance and certain physiological parameters of Holstein calves

The objective of this study was to compare the effects of calf starters of different starch and fibre content on the growth, blood and rumen parameters of Holstein female calves during the pre-weaning period.A total of 60 calves were divided into two groups.Group A/B was fed according to a two-phase calf vector gp68hx 12vh-012ca nutrition system: t

Translocation of a parthenogenesis gene candidate to an alternate copyright chromosome in apomictic Brachiaria humidicola

Abstract Background The apomictic reproductive mode of Brachiaria (syn.Urochloa) forage species allows breeders to faithfully propagate heterozygous 2jzge timing belt genotypes through seed over multiple generations.In Brachiaria, reproductive mode segregates as single dominant locus, the apospory-specific genomic region (ASGR).The AGSR has been ma
