Molecular markers and their applications in cattle genetic research: A review (2014, background): “This takes into consideration most of the factors that may affect the breeding program.(4,5) In biotechnological language, a molecular marker is a DNA fragment in association with a certain location in the genome and can also be called a genetic marker; the marker is used in identifying partial DNA ”
Physiological and biochemical blood variables of goats subjected to heat stress – a review (2018, background): “…the animals and the environment, the ability of each species and breed to adapt are essential characteristics because, based on them, decisions are made about the best system of raising and the best management strategy to be adopted to increase the production of the animals (Mirkena et al. 2010).”
Factors Influencing Livestock Productivity (2012, background): “Adaptability of an animal can be defined as the ability to survive and reproduce within a defined environment or the degree to which an organism, population or species can remain/become adapted to a wide range of environments by physiological or genetic means (Mirkena et al. 2010).”
