This retrospective study documented various skin diseases in alpacas, reporting bacterial infections as the most common, along with other conditions described for the first time.

This study found that cyclophosphamide treatment in cashmere goats significantly increased cashmere yield by inducing shedding without affecting fiber length, with a 20 mg/kg body weight dose being optimal for hair removal and regrowth.

This study reports that milk goats exhibit significantly more differentially expressed genes related to hair follicle cycling across different months compared to cashmere goats, especially in December.

This research observed that, in domestic cats like Maine Coon and Rex breeds, a "piebald" coat color pattern is likely influenced by the Silver locus, although the specific mutations involved are yet to be published.

In this study, researchers used mRNA sequencing to identify and categorize over 49,000 contigs in goat skin, revealing significant gene activity related to metabolism, cell cycle, and cell division during hair growth.

This study in the Banadir region of Somalia found that donkeys used to pull heavy loads experience various health problems, largely due to inadequate shelter, poor-quality harnessing equipment, and insufficient regulations on animal welfare, highlighting a need for government action on these issues.

This study identified genetic differences between Australian White Sheep and Hu Sheep that may explain their distinct pelage types, with a focus on subcutaneous adiposity and immunoregulation. The findings suggest potential targets for breeding climate-resilient sheep, enhancing our understanding of heat tolerance in these breeds.

This study found that continuous implantation of melatonin in cashmere goats advanced the growth cycle of cashmere by inducing secondary hair follicle development and altering gene expression.

This study applied a machine learning-based genomic analysis to identify genetic markers associated with wool traits in Central Anatolian Merino sheep, successfully highlighting loci relevant to fiber diameter, staple length, and greasy fleece yield, which could inform breeding programs to enhance wool quality and yield.

This study evaluated genetic diversity and morphological trait-associated genes in 897 animals from 14 African sheep breeds, finding the lowest genomic heterozygosity in Zulu sheep and the highest in Merino, with genetic analysis revealing associations between specific morphological traits and certain genes.

This study identified novel genetic variations in the KRTAP22-2 gene among eight sheep breeds but found no association between these genotypes and wool fibre traits, indicating possible species-specific differences compared to goats.

This study focused on equine sarcoid, the most common tumor in horses, and described its types, clinical signs, and histopathological characteristics such as hyperkeratosis and changes in the hair follicle and dermis.

This study suggests that deficiencies in certain amino acids, like taurine and tryptophan, in artificial milk formulas may contribute to skin and eye problems in Bengal tiger cubs.

This study found that wild geladas in Ethiopian crop areas experienced higher levels of human disturbance and health issues, such as increased parasitic infections, compared to those in pasture areas.

Microscopic hair features can identify different Cauda Cervi species.

This study investigated a severe outbreak of mange in a goat herd in North Goa and found that treatment with Ivermectin and other supplements led to complete recovery, highlighting the need for preventive measures in hot, humid regions.

This study identified important lncRNAs and genes associated with cashmere shedding in goats and explored their regulatory interactions, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms that may underlie this phenomenon.

In this study, researchers conducting a genome-wide association study on 263 adult female goats identified significant genomic variants linked to coarse hair diameter, particularly emphasizing a crucial region on Chromosome 10. These findings enhance understanding of the genetic factors influencing fiber diameter in goats.

This study reported that the PTGER2 gene is strongly expressed in cashmere goat skin and its expression tends to decrease from the anagen to telogen stages of the hair follicle cycle.

This study found that camel hair from Afif has suitable physical and chemical properties for textile production and its characteristics can be enhanced with chemical additives like acetic acid.

The study found that exposing Arbas Cashmere goats to a short photoperiod significantly increased cashmere production by extending the anagen phase of hair follicles, with gene expression changes identified as contributing factors.

This study observed that in Assam Hill Goats, the primary hair follicles had larger diameters and more structural associations compared to secondary follicles, especially in ruminant-age groups.

In this study of seborrhoeic dermatitis in pigmy goats, researchers found that the disease has chronic cycles of remission and relapse without clear infectious or nutritional causes, and corticosteroid treatment provided only temporary relief.

This study reported intra-familial transmission of Arthroderma benhamiae among Canadian porcupines in a Japanese zoo, with genetic sequences previously undocumented in Japan or the GenBank database.

This study identified potential ceRNA regulatory networks in cashmere goat hair follicle cycling, expanding understanding of lncRNA and miRNA biology and annotation of the goat genome.

This study found that a 22-bp InDel polymorphism in the FGF7 gene was significantly associated with growth traits in goats, with genotypes ID and/or II linked to better growth compared to genotype DD, indicating its potential as a molecular marker in breeding programs.

This study observed that mixed breed cows with alopecia, ill-thrift, and infertility had significant decreases in serum copper, zinc, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and magnesium, alongside signs of anemia.

This study identified dynamic changes in DNA methylation associated with different growth stages in Tan sheep, which may offer insights to retain their valuable curly fleece as they age.

This study found that melatonin combined with bromocryptine treatment in Spanish goats increased secondary hair follicle numbers and extended the cashmere growth phase during spring.

This study found a high prevalence of parasitic infections in cattle in the Mymensingh district of Bangladesh, with mixed infections being more common and highlighting the need for improved management practices.
