EFTBA Veterinary Newsletter – April 2019

| EFTBA | 1st April 2019

April 2019 edition of the EFTBA Veterinary Newsletter.

Editorial

In our last newsletter, we looked at results of genetic studies in our time and possible connections with traditional views on possible peculiarities of horse- breeding. There, our subjects were the mitochondrial DNA and the dam-line in pedigrees. In this issue now, we discuss the role of paternally expressed genes in the placenta of the mare. Is there an influence of the maternal grandsire on the offspring? Are the modern genetic findings in accordance with views of our ancestors on this subject? Let’s have a look at some publications on these questions in earlier times and scientific discoveries of today.
