Breeds of Livestock - Danish Landrace Swine The Danish Landrace is a medium to large breed that has a distinct physical appearance. In that year, the first registered Landrace herd was established and breed improvement was commenced in earnest. The Danish Landrace is a long and lean breed known for its very high fertility and excellent motherhood. www.ansi.okstate.edu /breeds/swine/danishlandrace/index.htm   (710 words)

landrace A landrace is what the name implies: a race of dogs intimately connected to a particular region. The "landrace" in this case is the Tibetan Mastiff. The earmark of a landrace is it's adaptation to the environment, both physical and human, and because of that, the stable phenotype over time. www.lhasa-apso.org /articles/landrace.htm   (386 words)

Landrace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Landrace refers to a race of animals or plants ideally suited for the land (environment) in which they live (or originated) and, in some cases, work; they often develop naturally with minimal assistance or guidance from humans (or from humans using traditional rather than modern breeding methods), hence are usually older, less modern races. For example, landrace dogs are very different depending on their origins and purpose; Border Collies were a landrace breed in Scotland, where their primary characteristics had to do with how they herded sheep in the borderlands, and Salukis were a landrace breed in the Middle East where they chased game across open tracts of land. Landrace sheep were originally a breed of sheep ideally suited for their environment. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Landrace   (334 words)

albc.asd Landrace breeds - Landraces....are local populations of animals that are consistent enough to be considered breeds, but are more variable in appearance than are standardized breeds. In fact, human selection in one part of a landrace population may be counteracted by different human selection in another part. Landrace breeds generally lack the formal support of a breed association, and they survive as distinct populations due to geographical and cultural isolation. shahbazinanatolianshepherds.com /albcasd.htm   (1192 words)

Relationship Between Backfat and Sow Longevity in Canadian Yorkshire and Landrace Pigs In Landrace the average proportion selected is 15.1%, and it is also highest (17.7%) in the 12-14mm range and lowest (9.4%) in the fattest backfat range. In Landrace, average survival beyond parity 2 is about 62% (Table 3), and increases by 30% (from 43% to 73%) as the backfat level increases. For Landrace, the increase in survival rate as backfat increases is only 3% for parity 2, 4% for parity 4, and 3% for parity 6. mark.asci.ncsu.edu /nsif/96proc/brisbane.htm   (3257 words)

landrace Often, landrace breeds are the unknown predecessors of familiar, modern breeds or that they were unknown and untouched by the Western world until recently. The GSD did not spring out of thin air, but their foundation dogs were a continental landrace breed of herding sheepdogs who were chosen and selected for a different purpose. The landrace breed still exists in fewer numbers than the GSDs, but they still maintain the complete and complex herding behaviors needed to herd sheep without a tremendous amount of training. www.jindojunkie.com /perspective/landrace.html   (857 words)

Australian Finnsheep Breeders Association Inc. As well as the economic reasons, having a lower number of breeding ewes in the winter that produce a larger number of lambs in the spring, compared to the traditional breeding ewe policy, gives an improved match of feed demand to feed supply. The usual difference in weaning liveweight seen between twin and single lambs is a reflection of the relative underfeeding of the twin bearing ewes over late pregnancy / early lactation and the lower mothering ability of traditional dam breeds to cope with rearing multiples. An alternative to purchasing Finnish Landrace x replacements is to have a traditional breed flock that is mated to the Finnish Landrace Ram to generate halfbred replacements. www.finnsheep.asn.au /manage.html   (1370 words)

spon1.htm Landraces are among the most interesting of breeds, because they arise in localities in response to local environments and local needs. Landraces become unique due to local isolation and the chance occurrence of which specific individual cattle were present at the founding of the landrace. As is typical of landraces, as the cattle moved from an unrecorded landrace to a recorded standardized breed the attempt was made to further restrict the variation in the landrace. www.galloway-world.org /intconf/sponen.htm   (4741 words)

The growth of the Landrace and Yorkshire-sired animals was similar to the earlier study, and the Duroc pigs were clearly superior to either the Yorkshire or Landrace-sired animals. The lean yield of the pigs was the same regardless of sire, however the Duroc pigs achieved it in less time. www.aphin.upei.ca /asrp/boar_comparison_study.htm   (488 words)

BPA: The British Pig Association The first Landrace pigs were imported into Britain from Sweden in 1949 (4 boars and 8 gilts) with other imports to follow from 1953 onwards, these came into Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. The British Landrace Pig Society was formed to create a herd book for the first offspring born 1950, from the 1949 importation, and an evaluation scheme was created, with the first Pig Testing Scheme for daily gain and fat depths, a testing station was built at Stockton-on-Forest, York. With Landrace breeders being acutely aware of the need to improve commercial attributes of the breed, carrying on from the 1950s, with testing and selection right up to present days, keeping up with the demands of the ever changing world of commercial/pedigree pig production. www.britishpigs.org.uk /breed_la.htm   (423 words)

webdoc9   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Landraces are somewhat genetically consistent, usually due to the founder effect and isolation. For example, it would be easier to modify a landrace from within than it would be to modify a standardized breed, which in turn would be much easier than modifying an existing industrial stock. One way to approach the issue of variability and of landrace versus standardized breed is to consider that it is best to describe landraces, and let them simply be what they are. www.shetland-sheep.org /webdoc9.html   (1396 words)

Landrace Prema definiciji koje se držim po ovom pitanju i koju sam više puta navodio, landrace je “sorta koja je razvijana i genetski unapređivana od strane odgajivača, ali na koju nisu primenjivani savremeni postupci hibridizacije. Ima najkraći period sazrevanja od svih brazilskih landrace, stvara jednu glavnu središnju cvast sa malo pobočnih grana. Mada, postoji i jedna njihova malo slabije izražena crta, a to je blaža halucinogenost, što je svakako uticaj meksičkih landrace. www.vutra.org /landrace.php   (3116 words)

Purdue Pork Page - Genetics: Publications This uses Yorkshire and Landrace boars mated in a rotation to produce replacement gilts and terminal crosses in which terminal sires mated to the rotational cross females (Table 4). The use of known superior Yorkshire and Landrace sires in a rotaterminal crossbreeding system ($113.79, Table 4) has a $26.56 advantage over purchasing average YL F1 gilts ($87.23, Table 3). When F1 gilts are purchased which are also the result of using superior Yorkshire and Landrace sires, the economic returns of the rotaterminal and F1 specific crosses are approximately equal (113 versus 109 dollars). pasture.ecn.purdue.edu /~epados/swine/draftinfo/allan/altcrs96.htm   (1536 words)
