Attendance
                                         Socrative system

• The presence on both the lectures and practicals are
  obligatory.
• Altogether three absences from the practical are allowed, but
  the re-take of them is compulsory. The presence is controlled
  on every occasion. On the course of a re-take student has to
  account for the knowledge of the missed practical by the
  lecturer who kept the practical/lab before exam period.
Entering with pets for hygienic
   reasons is not allowed!
Midterm exam
• During the semester, a computer control of
  knowledge will take place.

• Knowledge of the basic data
Type and method of exam:
- Exam within the exam period, which consists of two (practical
and theoretical) parts.

- At first, students are controlled by a questionnaire on computer
(according to their rapid answers to basic figures, formulas used
in calculations, definitions) as a threshold (60%) to enter into the
theoretical part).

- And then, they choose three questions, and after a preparation
time they answer these orally.

- All questions are published in advance (gat.univet.hu,
www.univet.hu), GAT access available from 15th of November!

     Deadline of online submission of the report including diary to naplo.atlt@univet.hu: 30.08.2020.
     Deadline of personal or via post-delivery of the report including diary to Department: 10.09.2020.

     The aims of summer practice are to directly experience the practical issues of animal breeding and technology of large-
     scale farm animals, and to highlight the cooperation and bond between breeding and veterinary work.

     General rules

1.     Summer farm practical in Animal Breeding is compulsory. Former farm work experience does not substitute the present
       practice, as your knowledge gained during lectures and practicals gives the grounds for your critical approach, which is
       necessary for the proper performance of the summer practical.
2.     The length of summer practical is 2 weeks 01.07.2020-12.07.2020.
3.     The review of 2 different animal species is required. The farm has to be a large-scale facility, preferably dealing with dairy
       cows, swine, sheep, goat or fish. Horse, beef cattle and poultry breeding facilities are also accepted. Small family farms, zoos
       or minor breeding businesses are not accepted.
4.     The Training Agreement (Annex 1.) shall be signed by the farm manager and the student, and it shall be attached to the
       report.

         It is possible to accomplish the farm practice at two separate farms. In this case, two separate Training Agreements shall be
         signed and attached.

Domestication of animal species
(livestock, companion animals and pets)
Questions on exam

1. Domestication of Mammalian species: fundamentals, ancestors,
dates, sites

2. Domestication of poultry species (birds): fundamentals,
ancestors, dates, sites

3. Consequences in genotype due to domestication of species
(mammals and birds)

4. Consequences in phenotype (conformation, production and
reproduction) due to domestication of species (mammals and birds)
Domestication I (micro-evolution, micro-evolutionary genetics)

• What is domestication?
• Domestication was/is a process, when man was
   – Taming, breeding, raising and transforming of wild animals for his
     own sake during many generations;
   – Gradual multigenerational procedure and directed genetic
     progress (artificial selection) + mutations (micro-evolution)
   – Close relation to mankind and civilization development;
   – To the concept of domestic animals – in wider sense – belong:
     livestock, farm animals, companion animals (pets), laboratory
     animals.

  What is domestic animal?
Domestic animals

• Farm animals - in production (horse, cattle, sheep,
  pig etc.).
• Laboratory animals – with research purposes (rat,
  mice, rabbit, etc.).
• Companion animals – to fulfil the social needs (cat,
  parrot, etc.).
Domestic animals

• Farm animals - in production (horse, cattle, sheep,
  pig etc.).
• Laboratory animals – with research purposes (rat,
  mice, rabbit, etc.).
• Companion animals – to fulfil the social needs (cat,
  parrot, etc.).
Domestic animals

• Farm animals - in production (horse, cattle, sheep,
  pig etc.).
• Laboratory animals – with research purposes (rat,
  mice, rabbit, etc.).
• Companion animals – to fulfil the social needs (cat,
  parrot, etc.).
• Tamed animals – adapted to the presence of human, but
  selection made through many generations does not
  differenciate it from its wild mates.
De-domestication: returning to wildlife and nature, feral forms,
  it is the opposite process of domestication which results in
   dedomesticated or feral animals (e.g. the mustang, dingo,
                         bramby, soay).

                         Australian Bramby Horse
Re-domestication: when a feral
population is used as a domestic one again
(e.g. ostrich)

                     Ostrich in Hungary
The domestication played a very important role in
the development of mankind since about 15,000-
6,000 years:

- man could put the nature more and more into his
service with less and less limitation,

- domestication extended the area of human life,

- it made mankind more or less independent of
climate and natural resources,

- it was a milestone of the development of human
biology (protein of animal origin), history and
culture

- it started before plant cultivation.

                                                    Black bull and wild horse,
                                                    about 15000 B.C., Lascaux
                                                    cave painting
Domestication II (microevolution, micro-evolutionary
                         genetics)

• Reasons:
   –   (1) building up flesh reserves
   –   (2) religious cult, sacrificial animals
   –   (3) companion
   –   (4) economical necessity (production)
   –   (5) guard
   –   (6) milk and other foods
   –   (7) equipment and clothing of animal origin
   –   (8) traction
   –   (9) dung and fuel (bio char)
   –   (10) transport
Domestication III (microevolution, micro-evolutionary
                           genetics)
• Possible methods:
   – (1) tracking and isolation,
   – (2) capturing
   – (3) rearing up young animals

•   How far domesticated? Degrees of domestication:
     – Pre-domestication,
     – Transition, semi-domestication
     – Full domestication

• Many unclear steps: self domestication (e.g. turkey)

• Remarkable differences between
   – Euro-Asian (domestication of majority of species!) and
   – American continent (llama, turkey, muscovy duck only)
Dmitrij Konstantinovits Beljajev
Novosibirsk Institute for Cytology and Genetics from 1957
•   Grades of domestication according to selection and productivity:
     – Basic producing-ability of species
     – Preproduction,
     – Production,
     – Super-production, specialization (single purpose, high yield, isolated keeping,
       computer, industrialised, monodietic feeding, biotechnology, precision
       livestock farming, animal welfare concerns)

                              Bremen Town Musicians
• Time period: from 6000-12000 (15000)
  years up to present (mussel, deer, fur animals
  etc.)
• from paleolitic era, 60000 years, dog
• Relatively small number (50) of wild animal species
   were domesticated. Those animals which:
- were useful and profitable for man,
- were not frightening the prehistoric man,
- could be accustomed to human environment and to closeness
   of man (the social and not solitary animals, the species having
   a leader (predators), and comfort loving animals, and animals
   becoming safety from the man (preys)).
• There are two basic theories in the science of
  domestication:
The monophyletic theory supposes that only
  one wild species was domesticated.
According to the polyphyletic theory more than
  one wild ancestral species were behind the
  domestic form.

Mating between domestic form and wild
 ancestor is possible.
Term of species

• The species is the basic unit of zoology.

• According to the species specific characteristics it can be
  decided which species an individual belongs to. A species is
  often defined as a group of individuals that actually or
  potentially interbreed in nature, and produces fertile
  progenies. The subspecies and transitional species make the
  distinction difficult.

• The domesticated forms can be bred with the wild ancestor.
Interspecies hybridisation

• In many cases, individuals differing well from each other in
  forms, size and chromosomal numbers produces progenies,
  and from such a mating the homogametic offspring are often
  fertile (while the heterogametic sex is sterile, Haldane rule).

Consequences of domestication I
• Conformation - extremely low and high body mass,
  gigantism, muscle hypertrophy, dwarfism
  (achondroplasia), hornlessness, new colour
  variations (pigmentation), unusual body and body
  part shapes, hair coat, lack of shedding, hairlessness,
  feathering; ear position.
• Other anatomical changes - prolongation of the
  digestive tract; refinement of teeth, bones; pug-
  headedness, extremes of the respiratory system;
  number of finger and vertebral bones, fat deposits
  (fat tailed, fat ramped).
• Resistance tends to decrease, technology tolerance
  increases; life span is reduced.

Consequences of domestication II

• Productivity mostly increases, and feed intake and
  feed conversation are enhanced.
• Reproduction improves (prolificacy, progeny number
  per period of time), early sexual and breeding
  maturity; seasonality and continuous srxual activity,
  tolerance of biotechnological processes; growth of
  the genitals; less sexual dimorphism.
• Behaviour, instinct - gentler, more adaptable to man
  (nervous system in decline, decrease in brain mass,
  perception and fitness); aggressiveness sometimes);
  they have lost most of their qualities of (wild) life.

Genomic consequences of domestication

• Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): importance (cattle, dog,
  sheep), stable cytoplasm DNA, nearly constant during
  species evolution (single mutation in 2000Y)
• Nuclear DNA:
   – Gene- (=allele-) frequency changes and fixation on
     many gene loci; increase of homozygosity.
   – Number of chromosomes:
   – Domestic swine and Asian wild boar 2n=38, European
     wild boar 2n=36 (fusion?)
   – Horse and tarpan: 2n=64, wild horse (Przewalski-
     horse, taki): 2n=66 (fission?), ass: 2n=62
   – Sheep and moufflon 2n=54 (fusion), Asiatic wild
     sheep 2n=56, 58, different habitats and crossings 55
     ,56, 57, 58. All wild and domestic goat 2n=60
   – Crossing of domestic and wild species is generally
     successful, offspring are fertile!
   – In crossed individuals of domestic and wild species
     intermediate number of chromosomes
   – Transgenesis, gene edition
