Effect of dietary restriction and subsequent realimentation on hepatic oxidative phosphorylation in cattle
(2021)Compensatory growth (CG) is a naturally accelerated growth which occurs upon realimentation, following a prior period of dietary restriction. The process is harnessed worldwide as a management practice to reduce feed costs ... -
An examination of the molecular control of feed efficiency in beef cattle
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Biochemistry & Immunology. Discipline of Biochemistry, 2018)Global agriculture is faced with the enormous challenge of feeding a rapidly growing population while being cognizant of the environmental footprint of such endeavours. A consequence of increased meat consumption worldwide ... -
Meta-Analysis of mitochondrial DNA reveals several population bottlenecks during worldwide migrations of cattle
(2014)Several studies have investigated the differentiation of mitochondrial DNA in Eurasian, African and American cattle as well as archaeological bovine material. A global survey of these studies shows that haplogroup distributions ... -
Mitochondrial abundance and function in skeletal muscle and liver from Simmental beef cattle divergent for residual feed intakee
(2020)Cellular mitochondrial function has been suggested to contribute to variation in feed efficiency (FE) among animals. The objective of this study was to determine mitochondrial abundance and activities of various mitochondrial ... -
The Multilayered Prehistory of Wild Aurochs and Domestic Cattle
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Genetics, 2018)This thesis explores 122 ancient genomes of domestic cattle and wild aurochs to investigate past population events such as domestication and admixture. Population genomics of ancient taurine domestics from the ancient Near ... -
Retrieval of DNA from ancient material and the demography of the extinct aurochs
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Genetics, 2023)Ancient DNA has revolutionised our understanding of animal genomics by providing direct evidence of the demography of ancient wild populations and unravelling the complex domestication process with time-stamped precision. ... -
RNA-seq Transcriptional Profiling of Peripheral Blood Leukocytes from Cattle Infected with Mycobacterium bovis.
(2014)Bovine tuberculosis, caused by infection with Mycobacterium bovis, is a major endemic disease affecting cattle populations worldwide, despite the implementation of stringent surveillance and control programs in many ...
