Currently, few proven field techniques exist for managing free-roaming horse population growth, which can reach 20–25% annually. Although there are several strategies available for sterilizing mares when managing free-roaming horse populations, surgical vasectomy...
Cytogenetic chromosome maps offer molecular tools for genome analysis and clinical cytogenetics and are of particular

in situ hybridization (FISH) data, we developed the first cytogenetic map for the alpaca (Lama pacos,...
