Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBreeding Progress in Mugalzhar Horses: The Irtysh Type as a Model for Meat Production EfficiencyAkimbekov Amin, Uskenov Rashit, Nurgulsim Kaster et al.The Mugalzhar horse breed holds significant value for meat production in Kazakhstan. Developed through targeted selection, the new Irtysh stud type demonstrates outstanding adaptation and productivity, with stallions reaching an average live weight of 486.1 kg and mares 463.4 kg, an increase of up to 73 kg compared to the original group. The coefficient of variation for live weight and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2025 · 2,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCattle Breeding Programs and Trait Preferences in EthiopiaMohammed Endris Seid, Kefelegn Kebede Kefenie et al.The success of livestock breeding programs depend on the active involvement of smallholder farmers, pastoralists, and agro-pastoralists in shaping breeding objectives and identifying key trait preferences based on specific production goals. This study aimed at assessing the relative importance of cattle-keeping objectives and trait preferences across mixed crop-livestock, pastoral, and agro-pastoral production systems in Ethiopia. We collected data from 180 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 9 Jun 2025 · 4,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroduction of the Pasture Plant Fescue (Festuca valesiaca) for the Improvement of Degraded Pastures in the Steppe Zone of KazakhstanMeldebekova Nurgul Alikhanovna, Seitbattalova Ainur Islamovna, Ainebekova Bakyt Alpysbaevna et al.This study presents the results of a comprehensive evaluation of Festuca valesiaca, a dominant perennial grass species widely used in steppe ecosystems for pasture improvement. Previous research has demonstrated the importance of native fescue species in enhancing productivity and resilience of degraded rangelands under arid conditions. However, breeding efforts for this species in Kazakhstan remain insufficiently developed. The research was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2026 · 662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Volumetric Water Footprint with Carcass and Meat Quality Characteristics Under Intensive Beef Cattle Production in South AfricaTinny Noluthando Macamba, Takalani Judas Mpofu, Khathutshelo Agree Nephawe et al.As water accessibility becomes more challenging due to the increasing human population and agricultural competition, it is crucial to select beef cattle with optimal water efficiency. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between volumetric water footprint with carcass and meat quality of beef cattle under an intensive production system. Thirty-three (33) beef cattle weaners of three different body frame … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 12 Oct 2024 · 4,728 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenome-Wide Association Study of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms with Milk Traits in Red Gorbatov CattleMarina Ivanovna Selionova, Grigorii Sergeyevich Shekhovtsev, Ivan Petrovich Prokhorov et al.In order to preserve the gene pool of the Red Gorbatov breed, it is necessary to use a set of genomic analysis tools that allows more efficient planning in obtaining individuals who meet the economic requirements of dairy farming. The aim of the work was to identify candidate genes associated with milk production traits in Red Gorbatov cattle using a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 12 Oct 2024 · 4,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Breeding Qualities of Kazakh White-Headed Bulls by Testing Their ProductivityAruzhan Nugmanova, Aliya Akhmetaliyeva, Yedige Nassambayev et al.The purpose of the study was to quantify the breeding qualities of Kazakh White-Headed bulls by assessing their productivity metrics. The primary objectives were to analyze live weight dynamics, daily growth rates, feed conversion efficiency, and morphological meat quality and to employ "A" complex indices for evaluating the breeding potential. The study observed bulls aged 8-15 months at the Khafiza … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2024 · 5,407 accessesView PDFCite
