This study observed that hair loss in captive rhesus macaques varies with season, sex, and housing conditions, and is significantly correlated with HPA axis activity as indicated by faecal cortisol metabolites.

This study reported that horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction had improved coat condition, advanced shedding, and better quality of life when treated with blue light masks.

This case report described an 8-year-old Chihuahua with significant hair loss, where supplementation with horse placenta extract, taurine, and vitamin B complex led to marked hair regrowth and maintained coverage during a 76-week follow-up period, suggesting a potential non-invasive treatment option for alopecia in dogs.

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.

In this study, dogs fed Diet B with specific levels of dietary zinc and linoleic acid showed improved skin and hair coat conditions, evidenced by increased hair follicle growth and higher skin lipid scores.

This study found that differentially expressed genes in horses with white versus black coats may regulate coat color, providing insights into the genetics of skin melanin synthesis.

In this study, topical application of Neem oil on cats with dermatophytosis significantly improved the appearance of skin and fur, with the best results occurring after 15 to 20 consecutive days of treatment.

This study examined how different forms of dietary zinc affect the dimensions, weight, and zinc content of dog hair to evaluate coat condition.

This study examined how the form of dietary zinc affects the dimensions, weight, and zinc content of dog hair, which are considered indicators of coat condition.

This study found trilostane to be an effective and generally safe treatment for improving symptoms in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of melatonin's physiological roles, effects, and clinical implications, but it does not present new experimental findings.

This article discusses the diagnostic approach to symmetrical alopecia in dogs, particularly focusing on conditions affecting the endocrine glands and hair follicles, without presenting new research results.

This chapter reviews factors affecting hair growth and shedding and describes various conditions that can lead to hair growth diseases, but it reports no new clinical findings.

The study observed that Friesian heifers experienced significant adaptation challenges to Kenya's equatorial conditions, taking around 18 months for their coat composition to resemble that of Dutch heifers in summer.

This study demonstrated that blocking the Sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in mice led to reversible inhibition of body coat hair morphogenesis, while whisker development was unaffected.

This study found that the 16th-century mummified hair from a female mummy in Paju was remarkably well-preserved, with the hair's ultrastructural features maintained likely due to a calcium-rich surface coat.

This study found that Pomeranians with Alopecia X had fewer follicles per group, more fragile hair, and distinct hair cycle stages compared to non-alopecic Pomeranians, highlighting coat-type differences significant for diagnosing the condition.

This study observed that increasing dietary vitamin C in capybaras significantly improved their skin, coat, and weight, though other nutrients might also have contributed to their improved condition.

This study reported that the coat hairs of golden takin, living in harsh environments, have unique structural features compared to cattle, with overcoat hairs having continuous medullated tissue and undercoat hairs being finely crimped, potentially contributing to temperature regulation in cold conditions.

This study found that supplementing dog food with zinc methionyl glycinate at 160 ppm improved hair growth rate, zinc levels in plasma and hair, and hair condition more than lower doses or sulfate form.

This study found that current clinical, microscopic, and laboratory analyses did not reliably distinguish Alaskan malamutes with coat funk from normal dogs, indicating more research with larger samples is needed.

This review provides an update on sex hormone-associated dermatoses in dogs, detailing known conditions like feminization syndrome and exploring less understood issues such as alopecia X, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that camelina oil supplementation was comparable to flaxseed and canola oil in supporting skin and coat health and managing inflammation in dogs over 16 weeks.

This study found that temperature affects the influence of daylength on prolactin secretion and hair growth in dairy goats, without significant involvement of melatonin.

This study found that hair follicle gene expression varies between Angus and Brahman cattle and responds to growth-promoting treatments, which may reflect breed differences in adaptability to cold stress.

This study found that environmental conditions significantly influenced rabbit coat quality, while dietary linseed oil supplementation changed the fatty acid profile but did not improve coat thickness or heat protection.

This review discusses causes of hair loss in cats, highlighting self-inflicted trauma due to flea allergy dermatitis, and presents no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers detected all three genotypes associated with the MLPH gene's R199H polymorphism in a population of Czech pointer dogs, which is linked to coat color dilution.

The researchers reported finding a recessive nonsense variant in the EGFR gene responsible for perinatal lethality in the "Blonde d'Aquitaine" cattle breed, prompting the development of a screening test to help eradicate this genetic flaw.

This study evaluated a hydrogel containing extracts from azadirachta indica and tridax procumbens for treating seborrheic dermatitis, finding it passed various tests, including skin irritation and stability, suggesting potential future applications in herbal formulations.
