Genetics Import by Domestic Breeds

China chicken genetics import gap filled by domestic breeds


Industry sources indicate the average inventory of grandparent stock in the first half of 2024 is higher than the same period of 2023. Post expects the higher inventory of grandparent stock in 2024 will enable higher production of white broiler chicken in 2025, according to a recent US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Global Agricultural Information Network (GAIN) report.

China’s production of commercial white broiler chicken partially depends on imported genetics while domestically produced genetics has increased market share. Since 2022, several major poultry genetics exporting countries, including the United States, notified the PRC of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) detections. Subsequently, the PRC placed genetic import controls on these suppliers. In the first half of 2024, although poultry genetics imports have resumed from some origins, HPAI-related import restrictions on avian genetics remain on several US states.

Due to sanitary and zoosanitary limits on imported genetics, white broiler producers increased the use of domestically produced genetics. According to industry and market signals, it seems that there were higher numbers of grandparent stock available in 2024 and that domestically produced genetics have increased in market share.

Domestically-produced genetics have a lower per unit price compared to imported genetics. More importantly, the production efficiency of domestically produced genetics is improving. According to media reports, a domestic company developed a domestically produced genetic line named “SZ 901” in 2019. In 2023, this company introduced an improved line, “SZ 901 Plus”, that has a better feed conversion ratio.

Genetic factors with clinical trial stoppage

Genetic factors associated with reasons for clinical trial stoppage Many drug discovery projects are started but few progress fully through clinical trials to approval. Previous work has shown that human genetics support for the therapeutic hypothesis increases the chance of trial progression. Here, we applied natural language processing to classify the free-text reasons for 28,561 clinical trials that stopped before their endpoints were met. We then evaluated these classes in light of the underlying evidence for the therapeutic hypothesis and target properties. We found that trials are more likely to stop because of a lack of efficacy in the absence of strong genetic evidence from human populations or genetically modified animal models. Furthermore, certain trials are more likely to stop for safety reasons if the drug target gene is highly constrained in human populations and if the gene is broadly expressed across tissues. These results support the growing use of human genetics to ...

Post-Stroke Cardiovascular risks

Study finds genetic factors key to post-stroke cardiovascular risks In a recent study published in the journal Stroke , researchers identify genetic and molecular risk factors for subsequent cardiovascular outcomes after incident stroke in an effort to identify potential therapeutic targets to improve patient prognoses. Identifying the causes of stroke Stroke is a major global health issue that causes significant disability and mortality, particularly arterial ischemic stroke (AIS). AIS, which is a type of stroke caused by blocked blood flow to the brain, is responsible for up to 85% of stroke cases. AIS arises due to cerebral blood vessel blockage, with modifiable risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, obesity, and lifestyle behaviors. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) often focus on incident strokes, studying subsequent events can provide new insights into stroke progression. Further research is crucial to identify genetic and...

Type of Inherited Blindness in Dogs

Genetic test could eradicate a type of inherited blindness in dogs A mountain rescue dog whose duties ended after her eyesight failed has helped scientists create a test that could eradicate the genetic eye condition in her breed for good. Shola the English shepherd has an inherited eye disease called progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) that causes the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye to deteriorate, eventually leading to blindness. PRA affects more than 100 dog breeds, can be caused by a number of different genetic variants and has no treatment. For some types, symptoms do not appear until the dog is several years old , by which point they may have passed their genes on to puppies. Katherine Stanbury, the first author of the research from the University of Cambridge, said Shola was four years old when she began struggling with her vision in dim light. “She was sent to a veterinary ophthalmologist and they confirmed that she had PRA,” said Stanbury. “And then it turned out h...
