Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of animal breeding technology, and more particularly to a method for integrating genetic advantages and defects in beef cattle genome matching and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] The beef cattle industry has developed rapidly in recent years, but there are still many deficiencies. The main breeds of beef cattle currently raised include imported Simmental, Angus, Charolais, etc., as well as native breeds such as Huaxi cattle and Qinchuan cattle. Although these breeds meet market demand to some extent, further improvements are needed in growth rate, feed conversion rate, meat quality, and slaughter rate, etc.

[0003] In terms of genetic improvement, some key advantage genes have been proven to significantly improve beef cattle production performance. For example, MSTN mutation of the gene (myostatin) can promote muscle development and increase slaughter rate; IGF2 the gene is closely related to growth rate and feed efficiency; and the multi-rib gene can increase the number of ribs and improve meat production. Rational use of these advantage genes can greatly accelerate the breeding process and further increase the added economic value of each cow.

[0004] In addition, there are also various genetic defects in beef cattle populations. Since the 1960s, a variety of genetic diseases related to calf birth defects and metabolic disorders have been found in Simmental cattle, such as Thrombopathy (TP) and Syndactyly disease (SY). In recent years, with the rapid development of bovine genome SNP chip and whole genome sequencing technology, more new genetic defects have been identified. These include embryonic lethal defect - Brown Swiss haplotype 2 (BH2), bovine male subfertility (BMS), Fleckvieh haplotype 2 (FH2) and FH4, Montbéliarde haplotype 1 (MH1), and Simmental haplotype 9 (SH9). These genetic defects not only affect the growth and development of individuals, but also may have long-term negative effects on the health of the population.

[0005] The current beef cattle mating system mainly relies on traditional methods: selection based on phenotypic data and pedigree information, combined with artificial insemination technology to expand excellent individuals. Although some large breeding farms have begun to apply genomic selection technology, there are still obvious deficiencies: first, the use of dominant genes is not systematic enough, making it difficult to achieve multi-gene coordinated improvement; second, the screening and prevention of genetic defects are insufficient, leading to the spread of harmful mutations in the population; third, there is a lack of precise mating programs integrating genomic information, and the breeding efficiency needs to be improved. To address these issues, a new genomic mating method that integrates the use of dominant genes and the prevention of genetic defects is urgently needed to transform beef cattle breeding from an empirical to a precise approach.

The genetic evaluation was performed by using the Asreml-R software package, and the GBLUP model was adopted to calculate the genomic estimated breeding values of the five traits of the evaluated Huaxi cattle, including carcass weight, calving ease, weaning weight, average daily gain during the fattening period, and dressing percentage. The reference population was the Huaxi cattle reference population established by the Beijing Institute of Animal Science of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which included 3,928 individuals. The comprehensive selection index was calculated based on the genomic estimated breeding values of the five traits of the candidate population, and the individuals were ranked according to the male and female cattle.

The economic loss of genetic defects such as early embryonic lethality or abortion (FH4, MH1, SH9) was set as 500 yuan, and the economic loss of genetic defects such as chronic respiratory disease and abnormal wound clotting (BH2, BMS, TP) was set as 200 yuan. For advantageous genes, the additional economic value of offspring carrying the gene was set as 300 yuan, and the additional economic value of gene expression was set as 600 yuan. For the weight of each part, priority was given to eliminating the expression probability of genetic defects and increasing the carrying frequency of advantageous genes without reducing the average GCBI value of offspring.

Compared with homogeneous mating and random mating, the offspring of genomic mating MSTN The carrying frequency is increased by 7.0% and 16.7% respectively, and the average GCBI level is not reduced (Table 5). In addition, compared with the parent female cattle population, the offspring population obtained by genomic mating of integrating genetic advantages and defects is increased from 115.6 to 153.0, MSTN The carrying frequency is increased from 0.3% to 53.4%, and the carrying frequency of each genetic defect in the population can be reduced (Table 6).
