This study examined genetic adaptations in Tibetan sheep through whole-genome resequencing, identifying key genes related to hypoxia tolerance, wool color, and body size. These findings provide a foundation for future molecular breeding strategies to enhance wool quality and adaptive traits in these high-altitude environments.

This study found that the interdigital gland of Vembur sheep has larger secretory lobules in males than females, producing various compounds for chemical communication and foot protection.

This study demonstrated that both classical and atypical BSE strains from cattle can be transmitted to goats, highlighting the importance of surveillance in protecting public health.

This report from SRUC VS highlighted a suspected case of Schmallenberg virus infection in a calf born to an imported heifer, noting consistent clinical signs and seroconversion in the dam.

This study observed that TBX3 mRNA expression levels were region-specific and correlated with pigmentation patterns in dun Mongolian horses, providing insights into the genetic mechanisms behind their distinctive Bider markings.

This study found that both natural and environmental selection have significantly influenced the goat genome, revealing genetic loci tied to adaptation, fitness, and productive traits, more so than artificial selection, across various goat populations.

This study found that crossbred lambs fed liquid diets with reconstituted cow's milk initially grew wool without crimp, with crimp resuming two weeks post-weaning.

In this study, researchers found that single SNPs have a small genetic effect on phenotypes in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats, and constructing haplotypes from associated SNPs may uncover complex variations in cashmere traits, aiding genomics and breeding efforts.

This study explored the decline in cashmere production in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats through RNA-seq analysis, finding that AKT1 expression and related signaling pathways are age-dependent, with peak AKT1 upregulation at 12 months aligning with peak cashmere production.

This study found that nasal swab DNA collection was more convenient and yielded higher quality and quantity DNA samples than blood collection in both Angus cattle and yaks.

This study identified eight alleles of the caprine KAP13-3 gene in cashmere goats, which could influence gene expression and cashmere fiber characteristics.

This review summarizes the application of genome wide association studies and selection signature analyses in sheep and goat breeding in China, highlighting genomic regions that influence traits like reproductive performance and body size.

In this study, differences in protein expression related to twin lambing were identified in Tibetan sheep, providing insights into the reproductive performance and fertility improvement strategy for sheep in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

This study achieved over 99% antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by modifying camel hair with Rose Bengal, allowing for color customization and strong mechanical properties under visible light, thus suggesting a high-value approach to diversifying camel hair textiles.

This study found that camel hair treated with the photosensitizer Rose Bengal exhibited strong antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli when exposed to visible light, achieving over 99.90% bacterial inhibition and maintaining robust mechanical strength.

This study identified genetic variations that could serve as candidate markers for improving body conformation traits in Kazakh fat-tailed coarse-wool sheep through marker-assisted selection.

This study identified three candidate genes (CORT, FGF5, and CD36) associated with cold climate adaptation in Yanbian cattle through genome resequencing and comparison with African tropical cattle.

In this study, researchers identified genes IRF2BP2 and EGFR as key to understanding double-coated fleece formation in Hetian sheep, offering insights that may advance machine learning-driven multi-omics selection models in sheep breeding.

This study suggests that recombinant Lumpy Skin Disease Virus strains pose a severe threat to yaks in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, causing high mortality and emphasizing the need for targeted control strategies.

This study found that gray mongooses have more numerous and well-developed sebaceous glands compared to domestic cats, suggesting they may benefit from enhanced lipid-derived skin protection.

This study describes presumed albendazole toxicosis in alpacas, suggesting that repeated doses as low as 19 mg/kg can lead to severe neutropenia, enteropathy, and potentially death in this species.

This study identified genetic variations associated with black and white wool color in Gangba sheep, enhancing understanding of wool color genetics and aiding selective breeding for specific wool colors in Tibetan sheep.

This study identified 71 SNPs linked to black wool traits in Qira sheep and found that specific mutations in the TYRP1 gene significantly correlate with coat color variations, providing insights for their genetic selection and conservation.

This study found that single-born cashmere goats had higher birth weights, pre-weaning growth rates, and superior cashmere production attributes compared to twin-born goats, despite twin-born goats achieving compensatory growth post-weaning.

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

This study describes the successful treatment of erythema multiforme in a young Central American tapir with a combination of wound care, silver sulfadiazine cream, and oral prednisolone, emphasizing the importance of diagnostic testing for vesicular dermatitis syndromes in tapirs.

This study found that genetic variants in the goat KRTAP22-2 gene are associated with the mean fiber diameter of cashmere in Longdong Cashmere goats, suggesting these variants could serve as molecular markers for improving cashmere traits.

In this case study, an 8-year-old female Huacaya alpaca displaying male behavior was diagnosed with an ovarian benign interstitial (Leydig) cell tumor, indicated by elevated testosterone levels.

This study examined the age-related changes in the dermal structure of goat skin, providing baseline data on its histomorphology, histochemistry, and histoenzymology.
