Namen diplomskega dela je bil predstaviti štiri aktualne problematike dobrega počutja živali v prašičereji in perutninarstvu ter izražanje bolečine, stresa in trpljenja. Prvi problem, ki se močno dotika dobrega počutja v prašičereji je krajšanje repov. Ta metoda se uporablja za zmanjšanje grizenja repov, ki prav tako povzroča negativen vpliv na dob...

Simple Summary The disease osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) is an important health-related trait in horse breeding. This study aimed at finding a breeding strategy to reduce the occurrence of OCD without affecting the riding horse performance traits substantially. Therefore, a lifelike simulation of different possible ways to include this trait in a...

Goat domestication and human selection for valued traits have formed diverse breeds with characteristic phenotypes. This process led to the fixation of causative genetic variants controlling breed-specific traits within regions of reduced genetic diversity—so-called “selection signatures”. We previously reported an analysis of selection signatures ...
Analizo poslovanja se za posamezno kmetijsko gospodarstvo v določenih primerih izpelje na ravni tipičnih kmetijskih gospodarstev (TKMG). V okviru naloge smo podrobneje analizirali izbrana TKMG, usmerjena v prirejo mleka. Definiranje TKMG smo opravili s kvalitativno in kvantitativno klasifikacijo na organiziranih delavnicah. Podrobnejše podatke smo ...

Piglet mortality is a complex phenotype that depends on the environment, selection on piglet health, but also on the interaction between the piglet and sow. However, also monogenic recessive defects contribute to piglet mortality. Selective breeding has decreased overall piglet mortality by improving both mothering abilities and piglet viability. H...

Simple Summary Introducing new technologies in the agricultural and livestock field does not always lead to straightforward on-farm activities. Smart glasses for augmented reality are a new technology that may assist workers in many operations, allowing them to visualize, in the glasses’ lens, diverse information related to a single subject (e.g., ...
V magistrski nalogi preverjamo možnosti za izboljšanje ekonomskega položaja rejcev goveda na območju desetih občin Zgornje Savinjske in Šaleške doline. Na obravnavanem območju je prireja goveda za meso na travinju prevladujoča proizvodna usmeritev, prodajne poti pa so trenutno precej razpršene. Prevladuje prodaja pitancev v bližnje klavnice in loka...

Simple Summary Commercial genotyping has become accessible at a relatively low cost and nowadays it is widely used by breeders to predict production and economic traits. Many studies explored the benefits of using DNA information in breeding programs, and many methods have been established to optimize the use of such information. To date, however, ...

Many genome variants shaping mammalian phenotype are hypothesized to regulate gene transcription and/or to be under selection. However, most of the evidence to support this hypothesis comes from human studies. Systematic evidence for regulatory and evolutionary signals contributing to complex traits in a different mammalian model is needed. Sequenc...
