The present study conducted on an organised herd of Sahiwal cattle to elucidate the population structure parameter based on seven decades of genealogical information. The genealogical data (N = 4164) spanning 1949 to 2023 maintained at ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, India was considered with the aim to evaluate depth and accuracy of pedigree, population parameter and genetic diversity in different breeding schemes for whole population and pertinent reference cohort. The animal born from 1979 to 2009 grouped as reference 1 and from 2010 to 2023 as reference 2 cohort.

The Sahiwal are among the most prominent international transboundary dairy cattle distributed in large numbers between India and Pakistan. With the elapse of more than seven decades after the independence and limited cross-border exchange of Sahiwal germplasm, one thought-provoking question arises as to whether natural and artificial selection could alter the genomic signature patterns in the Sahiwal, reared for different purposes in these two countries. Deciphering the genetic mechanisms that underlie economic traits is essential for advancement and long-term breeding plans that are reflected in the distinct selection signatures they carry.

Introduction: Maxillary reconstruction is often a challenging task for the surgeons because of the complex anatomy. However, with the advances in virtual surgical planning (VSP) and 3D printing technology there is a new avenue for the surgeons which offers a suitable alternative to conventional flap-based reconstructions.

Patients And Methods: In this article, we have described 4 case scenarios which were managed with the help of VSP and additive manufacturing technology for complex maxillary reconstruction procedures.
