ABSTRACT.- Since 2020, the National Agricultural Research Institute (INIA) has conserved a Creole sheep flock at INIA Las Brujas. This study genetically characterised this population and compared it with six others: San Miguel National Park Creoles, commercial farms Creoles, Brazilian Creoles, Corriedale, Merilin and Soay sheep. The analysis included 628 individuals and 31 392 autosomal SNPs. This study aimed to genetically characterise the INIA Las Brujas Creole sheep and compare it with six local and global populations. © The authors.
ABSTRACT.- In citrus growing areas where Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is endemic, Poncirus trifoliata is commonly used as a rootstock to prevent tree decline. However, resistance breaking (RB) CTV isolates, capable of systemically infecting P. trifoliata, have been identified. Nevertheless, their effects on the rootstock remain understudied. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the physiological response of P. trifoliata to infection by a local RB isolate (RB-UY1), and determine its effects on grafted scions, using Navel orange (N/P. trifoliata) and Mexican lime (ML/P.
ABSTRACT.- This study evaluated the effects on production and reproduction after twelve years of genetic selection aimed at reducing fiber diameter while simultaneously increasing fleece weight and live weight in Merino sheep from the CRILU Genetic Nucleus (Uruguay). Phenotypic data from lambs (n = 4,809) and ewes (n = 1,741; 5,228 records), born between 2009 and 2021, were compared across three periods: 2010-2013, 2014-2018, and 2019-2022.
ABSTRACT.- Feed intake is a challenging trait to measure due to the high costs associated with labor, feeding, and facilities. Applying machine learning approaches, considering traits as potential predictors, offers a cost-effective alternative to direct feed intake measurement. By leveraging existing animal data, these models can optimize resources and enable feed intake estimation across a larger population without the need for labor-intensive trials. This research aimed to test combinations of
