Lashmar, Simon Frederick; Berry, Donagh P.; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Muchadeyi, Farai C.; Visser, Carina (Oxford University Press, 2021-07)A major obstacle in applying genomic selection (GS) to uniquely adapted local breeds in less-developed countries has been the cost of genotyping at high densities of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). Cost reduction ...

Visser, Carina; Lashmar, Simon Frederick; Van Marle-Koster, Este; Poli, Mario A.; Allain, Daniel (Public Library of Science, 2016-05-12)The Angora goat populations in Argentina (AR), France (FR) and South Africa (SA) have been kept geographically and genetically distinct. Due to country-specific selection and breeding strategies, there is a need to ...

Lashmar, Simon Frederick; Muchadeyi, F.C.; Visser, Carina (South African Society for Animal Science, 2019-04-11)The South African beef cattle population is heterogeneous and consists of a variety of breeds, production systems and breeding goals. Indigenous cattle breeds are uniquely adapted to their native surroundings, necessitating ...

Lashmar, Simon Frederick (University of Pretoria, 2020)Indigenous breeds such as the South African (SA) Drakensberger are economically important genetic resources in local beef production because of their adaptive traits and ability to perform competitively at a commercial ...

Visser, Carina; Lashmar, Simon Frederick; Reding, Jason Jack; Berry, Donagh P.; Van Marle-Koster, Este (Frontiers Media, 2023-03-17)The erosion of genetic diversity limits long-term genetic gain and impedes the sustainability of livestock production. In the South African (SA) dairy industry, the major commercial dairy breeds have been applying estimated ...

Lashmar, Simon Frederick; Visser, Carina; Van Marle-Koster, Este (Elsevier, 2016-03)Goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) have not been a prioritized livestock species with regards to molecular research. The genetic characterization of commercial South African (SA) goat breeds should contribute to improving the ...

Lashmar, Simon Frederick; Visser, Carina; Van Marle-Koster, Este (South African Society for Animal Science, 2015-03-12)Tools for the genomic evaluation of goats have generally lagged behind those for other species. However, the recent availability of the goat SNP50 consortium bead chip has marked a positive change for this small ruminant ...

Van Marle-Koster, Este; Lashmar, Simon Frederick; Retief, Anel; Visser, Carina (MDPI, 2021-10)Local cattle and sheep populations are important for animal production and food security in South Africa. These genetic resources are well adapted to the diverse climatic conditions and hold potential to be utilized in ...
