Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMapping QTLs Linked to Physio-Morphological and Plant Production Traits under Drought Stress in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the Target EnvironmentS. Michael Gomez, S. Satheesh Kumar, P. Jeyaprakash et al.Drought stress is a major constraint for rice (Oryza sativa L.) production and yield stability in rainfed ecosystems. Identifying genomic regions (QTLs) contributing in drought resistance will help to develop rice cultivars suitable for water-limiting environments through marker-assisted breeding. QTLs linked to physio-morphological and plant production traits under drought stress in the field were mapped by evaluating 177 F6 recombinant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 14,471 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGenomic Regions and Candidate Genes Associated With Semen Traits in Rams: A Systematic GWAS Review With Implications for South African Sheep BreedsNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Khoboso Christine LehloenyaRam fertility is a key determinant of reproductive efficiency in sheep production systems, particularly under extensive and semi-extensive conditions prevalent in South Africa. Semen quality traits, including ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, motility, and cryotolerance, exhibit measurable genetic variation and are increasingly investigated using genomic approaches. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from three eligible Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) analyses that have … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2026 · 50 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrincipal Component Analysis of the Female Pengging Soloan Duck Based on Morphometric TraitsRini Nur Hayati, Subiharta, Yudi Adinata et al.The Pengging Soloan duck is an emerging indigenous genetic resource from Central Java, Indonesia, recognized for its adaptability and egg-laying potential. However, its phenotypic characterization remains limited compared with established Indonesian duck breeds such as Mojosari, Tegal, and Magelang ducks. This study aimed to characterize 70 adult female Pengging Soloan ducks aged 5 6.5 months using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 10 Sep 2026 · 940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Early Weaning on Performance, Health Parameters, and Carcass Traits of Bonsmara Bull Calves Under Feedlot ConditionsKgotso Patrick Matli, Thobela Louis Tyasi, Pieter FourieA feedlot is an intensive farming system used for finishing livestock. This study analyzed the performance, health, and carcass traits of Early-Weaned Calves (EWC) and Traditionally-Weaned Calves (TWC). A total of 285 Bonsmara bull calves were grouped into two weaning strategies, with 136 EWC (255±27.30 kg) and 149 TWC (308±24.60 kg). Backgrounding was followed by a finishing phase, with a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 14 Aug 2026 · 1,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation and Selection of Kushum Horses and their Dairy and Meat Productivity by Economic and Useful TraitsAkimbekov Amin, Otebayev Zhassulan, Kurmangali Lailim et al.The research conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the Kushum horse breed based on economically valuable traits, including dairy and meat productivity, with the aim of selecting the most promising animals for further breeding. The research was conducted at two farms in Kazakhstan ("Bereke" and Kulunshak") in 2022-2025. 1084 individual horses were researched, including groups of horses of different intra-breed types. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 2 Jul 2026 · 1,070 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Body Weight and Age at Puberty and Mating on Subsequent Gilt Development Weights, Litter Traits, and Colostral Immunoglobulin G of the F1 Large White X Landrace GiltsThembela Happines Matukane, Khathutshelo Agree Nephawe, Bohani Mtileni et al.The purpose of this study was to assess how body weight and age at puberty and mating in F1 Large White x Landrace pigs influence subsequent gilt development weights, litter characteristics, and colostral immunoglobulin G levels. A total of 168 gilts were categorized into different weight groups, i.e., body weight at puberty (lighter gilts: <103 kg, moderate gilts: 103-109 kg) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 12 Oct 2024 · 5,956 accessesView PDFCite
