This study found that hair cortisol concentration is a promising stress indicator in cattle but not in pigs, where external factors and lower cortisol response may interfere with its validity.

This study investigated the genetic basis of coat color variation in cattle using skin transcriptome and whole-genome analyses, identifying the ASIP gene as a significant determinant that is differentially expressed and under strong positive selection in black and brown cattle breeds.

This study found that melanin extracted from cuttlefish ink provided significant protection against UV radiation damage to human hair, suggesting its potential as a photoprotective agent in hair-care products.

This case report describes a 16-year-old boy diagnosed with Castleman's disease, where treatment led to a marked decrease in lymph node swelling without obvious recurrence.

This study investigated differences in gene expression in the mammary glands of SLICK and wild-type Holstein cattle, finding limited differences overall but identifying enriched pathways related to arachidonic acid metabolism and oxytocin production, which merit further exploration.

Detecting steroid esters in cattle hair is inconsistent and influenced by sampling factors.

This study observed that congenital hypotrichosis in crossbred cattle is linked to short, curly, dilute-color hair, potentially due to color dilution mutants in European breeds.

This study reports that vitamin A deficiency can cause dermatologic issues like alopecia and orthokeratosis in Angus calves, and affected calves improved with vitamin A supplementation.

This study reported that a mixture of Elaeis guineensis kernel oil, essential oil of Ocimum gratissimum, and sap of Jatropha multifida showed better wound healing properties in Girolando cattle with dermatophilosis compared to other treatments.

Melatonin makes cattle hair grow faster. Better farming methods improved Pakistan's cotton industry.

This study reports that hypotrichosis congenita in Hereford cattle is associated with a KRT71 mutation, leading to color dilution follicular dysplasia.

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.

This study confirms the presence of large structural variations in the genome of Nellore cattle, which may contribute to their environmental adaptation to tropical regions.

In this study, researchers found that the thickness of various skin layers in Bos indicus cattle varied significantly by body region, with the neck and shoulder being thickest, and that male skin might be more suited for quality leather production compared to female skin.

This study found that selecting Angus cattle for early puberty reduced their prolactin levels, which may indicate a response to changing day length.

This study found that although Stephanofilaria infection worsens buffalo fly lesion severity, other factors like bacterial infection and hypersensitivity to buffalo fly feeding also play significant roles.

This study observed that red sindhi cattle have variations in skin structure between age and sex groups, with more developed skin appendages in adults and a higher density of sweat glands in younger cattle.

This study found that Swiss cattle exhibiting rat-tail syndrome are heterozygous for genetic variants linked to pigmentation and color dilution, likely due to Holstein introgression in the Simmental breed.

In this study conducted in Nyala, Sudan, researchers assessed welfare issues in Friesian dairy cows and found significant concerns, including injuries, ectoparasites, unclean coats, and poor health status affecting a large portion of cows; they recommend improved education and veterinary services to enhance cattle wellbeing.

The Hotz-Celsus surgery successfully fixed inward-turning eyelids in cattle.

This study observed that beef cattle with certain prolactin receptor gene mutations, known as slick mutations, demonstrated improved post-weaning growth and temperature regulation in a hot, humid climate compared to other genotypes, suggesting genotype influences growth efficiency and heat tolerance.

In this study, researchers analyzed hair from different regions of Malvi cattle and found significant variations in color, shape, and band pattern, although the medullary index remained consistent between 0.50 and 0.60 across the samples.

This study found that integrating breed-specific BOA and SNP-based models helps reveal the genetic factors involved in thermotolerance traits in beef cattle, enhancing insights into thermoregulation and potentially improving cattle's heat resilience.

This study examines the role of T. verrucosum in bovine dermatitis, revealing various pathological skin changes such as hyperkeratosis, necrotic hair follicles, and severe neutrophil aggregation in cows from Diyala Governorate.

This study investigated how vitamin A deficiency, certain diseases, and pregnancy affect cattle coat hair structure, finding notable keratin fibril interference under vitamin A deficiency and structural modifications in chronic renal failure, while pregnant cows exhibited superior hair tensile strength compared to non-pregnant ones.

This study observed that smallholder cattle farmers in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia using leucaena as feed managed more cattle and focused more on fattening rather than breeding, but leucaena toxicity led to illnesses such as hair loss and, in a few cases, reproductive issues.

This study suggests that PrPC plays a role in the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells during neurogenesis, impacting neural progenitor cell development.

This study found that carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of cattle hair reflects dietary and farm system differences, offering insights into cattle nutritional ecology and agroecosystem characteristics.
