Investigation into the genetic variation of Toll-Like Receptor 9 in cattle using both Sanger and next-generation sequencing from FTA-Cards
… the existence of genetic variations of f1TLR9 in Bos. indicus cattle from Nigeria; the interrater reliability between NGS and Sanger sequencing was intermediate. In conclusion, high- quality bovine DNA was extracted from FTA cards to allow PCR amplification and detection of genetic variation …

Effects of Dietary Conjugated Linoleic Acid Supplementation on Bovine Oocyte Lipid Metabolism, Lipid Composition and Embryo Cryotolerance
… and responses may be different between Bos indicus and Bos taurus breeds of cattle. Therefore, a series of experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of dietary CLA supplementation of cows on (1) milk fat depression in lactating Holstein cows, (2) follicle and oocyte production and …

Effects of rumen-protected lysine supplement on growth and carcass traits in a traditional finishing scheme with crossbred beef steers
… initial body weight (BW) and by arrival source (Bos indicus crossbreds were blocked separately from the Bos taurus). The experiment included 4 treatments; negative control (1,940 g of ground corn; NCTRL) supplemental bloodmeal (Perdue Ag Solutions; Salisbury, MD [1940 g of bloodmeal; BLDM]), 2 g …

CRISPR/CAS9 mediated gene editing for the improvement of beef and dairy cattle
… of beneficial mutations. In Angus beef cattle (Bos taurus), a mutation in the NHL-repeat containing 2 gene causes a heritable abnormality referred to as Developmental Duplications (DD). Calves homozygous for this mutation are affected with a broad range of neural tube defects and commonly …
