The distribution of runs of homozygosity and selection signatures in six commercial meat sheep breeds.
TL;DR: The regions identified as under putative selection in the current study provide an insight into the mechanisms leading to breed differentiation and genetic variation in meat production.
Invited review: Phenotypes to genetically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in dairying.
TL;DR: Phenotypes have been reviewed to select for lower-emitting animals in order to decrease the environmental footprint of dairy cattle products, including direct selection for breath measurements, as well as indirect selection via indicator traits such as feed intake, milk spectral data, and rumen microbial communities.

TL;DR: It is concluded that both discordance of imputed SNP genotypes and differences in allele frequencies, after imputation using different reference data sets, may be used to identify and remove poorly imputation SNP.

TL;DR: The objective of this study was to quantify the genetic variation in normal and atypical progesterone profiles and investigate if this information could be useful in an improved genetic evaluation for fertility for dairy cows.

Factors affecting ewe longevity on sheep farms in three European countries
TL;DR: The ability to identify ewes that can outperform their contemporaries, in terms of how long they remain productive in the flock, will help towards improving flock efficiency and profitability.
