This study found that zinc supplementation at 2.00 g/camel/day improved hair growth in lactating camels but did not affect milk yield or hump morphology, while 0.50–0.75 g/camel/day enhanced weight gain and hair development in calves.

In this study, zinc supplementation at 2.00 g/camel/day improved hair growth in lactating camels but did not affect milk production, while for calves, doses of 0.50–0.75 g/camel/day enhanced growth and hair development.

This study presents a DNA-analytical method that can reliably identify and differentiate cashmere, fine wool, yak, and camel hair fibers in both untreated and processed samples.

This study found that both dark and white dromedary camels exhibited high medullation in hair fibers, suggesting adaptations for insulation and heat dissipation in hot desert environments.

In this study, researchers sequenced the KRT71 gene in 102 dromedary camels to find genetic polymorphisms linked to hair shape, identifying 17 variants but none that fully explained hair shape variations, suggesting other genes may also play a role.

This study found that the structure and mineral content of dromedary camel hair, specifically the medulla patterns, medulla index, and elemental composition, change with age, revealing differences among camels aged 1 year, 3-5 years, and 8-10 years.

This study found that xylanase and pectinase enzymes clean wool and specialty hair fibers as effectively as soap, without causing physical damage, whereas resinase was not effective.

This review discusses the use and sustainability challenges of luxury animal hair fibers in the fashion industry and reports no new research findings.

This book chapter discusses the mechanisms and prevention of selenium toxicity in livestock and reports no new experimental results; it emphasizes reducing selenium in the human food chain through animal products.

This study found that Nubian ibex have developed genetic adaptations in response to their desert environment, including enhanced skin barrier, DNA repair, viral response, and metabolism of toxic compounds.

This study reports that hair fibers degrade most in acidic sandy clay, while silicone oil treatment is effective for conserving various hair types and artifacts.

This study identified a gene variant in the TRPV3 gene that may explain the suri alpaca phenotype, characterized by longer and less crimped fleece, suggesting this variant's involvement in the development of these hair characteristics compared to the huacaya phenotype.

This case study in a veterinary setting reported the successful recovery of a camel diagnosed with Sarcoptes scabiei infection, following treatment with ivermectin and multivitamins over a five-week period.

This study examined camel skin histomorphology, finding that hair follicles were distributed singly in the upper lip but clustered in other body areas, and that sweat glands were associated only with large primary hairs.

This study observed that mange-infested camels showed significant hematological and biochemical changes, indicating hepatocellular and renal damage as well as increased stress compared to healthy camels.

This report documents the first outbreak of a mixed infection of camelpox and dermatophilosis in camels in Iraq, highlighting the need for further study due to the novelty of dermatophilosis in the region.

This study observed that Aloe vera gel applied topically to mange-affected camels led to the rapid disappearance of skin lesions and mites.

This study analyzed the KRTAP7 gene in four Indian camel breeds and found that the gene sequences were identical across breeds, with no observed SNPs in coding or non-coding regions.

This chapter reviews bacterial skin diseases in camelids, such as folliculitis, furunculosis, and others, providing diagnostic insights without presenting new clinical results.

This study characterized the hair follicle patterns of Indian bison, Black buck, and Nilgai, providing valuable data to help identify these endangered species' skins, commonly targeted by poachers.

This study found that a neem-based herbal formulation may be more effective than ivermectin in treating sarcoptic mange in dromedary camels, leading to complete recovery without scarring or keratinization.

This study on Indian dromedary camel breeds investigated the KRTAP7 protein, finding all four breeds shared an identical gene sequence, with 13 phosphorylation and glycosylation sites influencing hair characteristics, alongside predicted interactions with other biosynthesis-related proteins.

This study identified 1277 genomic regions selected for traits in indigenous Chinese goats, including cashmere fiber, reproduction, size, and high-altitude adaptation, revealing key candidate genes for these phenotypes through whole-genome resequencing.

In these studies, researchers found that Peruvian camelids reach mature skin follicle development early, with specific cuticular characteristics useful for distinguishing fleece types, while Bolivian llamas have a mature follicle apparatus present at birth.

This study analyzed stable isotopes in animal fibers from Bronze and Iron Ages sites in Xinjiang, China, revealing that caprines and cattle primarily consumed C3 plants, while some Iron Age individuals showed unusual high C4 plant intake likely linked to millet foddering practices.

This study found that a significant number of boreal woodland caribou in NE British Columbia showed symptoms of trace mineral deficiencies and exposure to various pathogens, with substantial winter tick infestations affecting a majority of individuals.

This study identified genomic regions and candidate genes that may contribute to phenotypic diversity in coat color, body size, cashmere traits, and high-altitude adaptation in domesticated goat breeds.

This study reports that a sarcoptic mange outbreak, likely originating from mange-infected llamas from a governmental program, dramatically reduced vicuña and guanaco populations in San Guillermo National Park, Argentina.

This study found that in Chinese goat breeds, specific genetic variations, particularly in Tibetan Cashmere goats, are associated with traits like hair growth and adaptation to high-altitude environments.

In this study, the researchers analyzed skin samples from Dun Mongolian horses to uncover molecular pathways linked to the "Bider" marking, identifying differential gene expression and several pigment-related signaling pathways that may play key roles in its formation.
