This study used whole-genome sequence data to identify numerous putative causal variants and genes affecting key wool traits and skin wrinkle in Merino sheep, highlighting their polygenic and pleiotropic nature.

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 demonstrates that the CRISPR-Cas9 system can be used to successfully edit genes in large mammals, such as Cashmere goats, creating a valuable model for research on EDAR gene-related phenotypes.

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.

In this study, Australian cashmere goats receiving protein supplements maintained their weight and showed increased fleece growth, though cashmere growth was largely unaffected.

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 substituting soy hulls for corn-based supplements did not significantly affect ewe growth, reproductive performance, or lamb performance in pasture-based hair sheep systems.

This study used whole-genome resequencing to analyze genetic diversity and selection in 17 rabbit breeds, identifying genes linked to traits like coat color and body size, which could inform breeding and conservation efforts.

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 specific genetic markers related to wool quality in Rambouillet sheep, which may aid breeders in making informed selection and breeding decisions for improved fine wool production.

In this study, the inclusion of a feedstuff high in energy along with soybean meal enhanced body condition, body mass index, and reproductive performance in sheep fed low-protein forage.

In this study, an unexpected premature birth of two goat kids occurred following prostaglandin administration in a timed artificial insemination protocol, with both kids exhibiting congenital abnormalities such as laryngotracheal swelling and generalized alopecia.

This review examines over 271 candidate genes associated with economic traits in goats, highlighting their potential use in genetic markers and future breeding programs, and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that the dark pigmentation pattern in Dun Mongolian horses' "Bider marking" is closely associated with higher protein levels and specific localization of MITF and WNT3A, suggesting these are key factors in its formation.

This study found that ectopic expression of FGF5s in transgenic Chinese Merino sheep increased wool length and greasy fleece weight compared to non-transgenic controls.

This study in Aswan governorate reported that emaciated cattle showed decreased blood cell counts and serum minerals, as well as elevated liver enzymes, possibly associated with parasitic infections.

This study found that blood and milk somatic cells show promise as matrices for monitoring illicit recombinant bovine somatotropin use in dairy cattle through gene-expression assays.

This study found that prolactin gene polymorphism in Changthangi goats showed no significant association with Cashmere quality traits, indicating the need for further research with larger sample sizes.

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 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 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.

This report documents follicular dysplasia with pigmentary changes in two adult cows, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition in cattle.

This study suggests that changes in expressed transcripts and splice isoforms may explain the transition from curly to straight fleece in Chinese Tan sheep as they age.

In this study, supplementing ewes with soy hulls instead of a traditional corn-based supplement showed no impact on gastrointestinal nematode infection levels in hair sheep ewes managed in a pasture-based system, though some differences in packed cell volume at weaning were noted.

This study found that manipulating maternal cortisol levels during pregnancy altered Merino sheep wool characteristics, increasing fibre length and reducing crimp frequency in the offspring.

In this study, researchers assessed wool quality in sheep and found that the Gentile di Puglia breed, a Merino-derived Italian breed, exhibits finer wool through higher secondary follicle density compared to the non-merinized Sarda breed, suggesting its potential for sustainable wool production.

In this study of a Holstein calf with severe congenital ichthyosis, researchers found increased plasma parameters and specific skin changes, highlighting the genetic and incurable nature of this disease in livestock.

This study found that melatonin implants at specific times of the year may increase cashmere production in young Australian cashmere goats by altering their growth cycles.

In this study, researchers found that the SLICK1 allele in cattle may alter local immune regulation, hair growth, and tissue remodeling, as indicated by differential gene expression pathways associated with immune and inflammatory responses in slick vs. nonslick Holsteins.

This study demonstrates the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 system to successfully edit the EDAR gene in Cashmere goats, resulting in goats with distinct hair follicle characteristics.
