RESPONSES OF HUMORAL AND CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN RELATION TO THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF FAYOUMI MALE CHICKENS [PDF]

open access: yesEgyptian Poultry Science
The present experiment was conducted to investigate the relationship between immune-related parameters and reproductive traits in Fayoumi cocks. Three lines low; high and control were used to evaluate the association between immune responses, selected ...

DNA methylation and gene expression changes in mouse mammary tissue during successive lactations: part I – the impact of inflammation

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2023
Mastitis is among the main reasons women cease breastfeeding, which leads to them supplementing breast milk with artificial formula. In farm animals, mastitis results in significant economic losses and the premature culling of some animals. Nevertheless,

CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing to assess the role of RF-amide−related peptide 3 in ovine seasonal breeding

open access: yesAnimal
Seasonal breeding is an adaptive strategy that ensures the birth of the offspring during the best time of year and allows energy saving in times of food scarcity and adverse environmental conditions.

L’épigénétique et la construction du phénotype chez le bovin

open access: yesINRAE Productions Animales, 2020
En élevage bovin, une part importante de la variance phénotypique échappe à la sélection génétique, car l’expression des gènes qui contrôlent les caractères d’intérêt est déterminée par des facteurs à la fois génétiques et environnementaux.

CRISPR/Cas9-editing of PRNP in Alpine goats

open access: yesVeterinary Research
Misfolding of the cellular PrP (PrPc) protein causes prion disease, leading to neurodegenerative disorders in numerous mammalian species, including goats. A lack of PrPc induces complete resistance to prion disease.

Dynamics of cattle sperm sncRNAs during maturation, from testis to ejaculated sperm

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin, 2021
Background During epididymal transit, spermatozoa go through several functional maturation steps, resulting from interactions with epididymal secretomes specific to each region.

Physiological breeding

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Plant Biology, 2016
Physiological breeding crosses parents with different complex but complementary traits to achieve cumulative gene action for yield, while selecting progeny using remote sensing, possibly in combination with genomic selection. Physiological approaches have already demonstrated significant genetic gains in Australia and several developing countries of ...

Accelerating Onset of Puberty Through Modification of Early Life Nutrition Induces Modest but Persistent Changes in Bull Sperm DNA Methylation Profiles Post-puberty

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
In humans and model species, alterations of sperm DNA methylation patterns have been reported in cases of spermatogenesis defects, male infertility and exposure to toxins or nutritional challenges, suggesting that a memory of environmental or ...

Analysis of the transcriptome of bovine endometrial cells isolated by laser micro-dissection (2): impacts of post-partum negative energy balance on stromal, glandular and luminal epithelial cells

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2021
Background In post-partum dairy cows, the energy needs to satisfy high milk production induces a status of more or less pronounced Negative Energy Balance (NEB). NEB associated with fat mobilization impairs reproductive function. In a companion paper, we
