Whole-Genome Selective Scans Detect Genes Associated with Cashmere Traits and Climatic Adaptation in Cashmere Goats (Capra hircus) in China

Genes
Background: Cashmere, valued for its exceptional softness and warmth, is a major focus in goat breeding due to its high economic importance. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying cashmere production remain largely unknown, hindering efforts to ...

Identification of cashmere and wool based on LBP and GLCM texture feature selection

Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics, 2023
There are invalid and redundant features in the texture feature extraction method of cashmere and wool fibers, which leads to the low recognition accuracy.

Indices for cashmere fleece competition and across farm comparisons: The role of staple length in identifying goats of higher cashmere production

, 2014
A single focus on mean fibre diameter (MFD, μm) as the definition of cashmere quality overlooks the effects of fibre length, softness and fibre curvature on cashmere processing, textile quality and consumer acceptance.

Genomic Inbreeding and Runs of Homozygosity Analysis of Cashmere Goat

Animals
Simple Summary Cashmere goats are valuable genetic resources which are famous for their high-quality fiber. Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) refer to uninterrupted sequences of homozygous genotypes present within the DNA sequence of an individual.

Effects of Artemisia ordosica Crude Polysaccharide on Antioxidant and Immunity Response, Nutrient Digestibility, Rumen Fermentation, and Microbiota in Cashmere Goats

Animals, 2023
Simple Summary Semi-intensive and extensive captive rearing systems for cashmere goats have been gradually adopted due to the limited availability of pasture and the seasonal imbalance of nutrients in grazing pastures in China. However, intensive rearing

Colorimetric Quantification of Virgin and Recycled Cashmere Fibers: Equilibrium, Kinetic, and Thermodynamic Studies

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Cashmere is byword for soft, luxury, and expensive stylish clothes. Objective and quantitative methods to identify and possibly quantify recycled cashmere are crucial to discourage adulteration of high-quality virgin cashmere with cheaper recycled fibers.

Melatonin Promotes the Development of Secondary Hair Follicles in Adult Cashmere Goats by Activating the Keap1-Nrf2 Signaling Pathway and Inhibiting the Inflammatory Transcription Factors NFκB and AP-1

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Exogenous melatonin (MT) has been used to promote the growth of secondary hair follicles and improve cashmere fiber quality, but the specific cellular-level mechanisms involved are unclear.

What Constitutes an Attractive Product‐as‐a‐Service Offer? Examining Consumer Preferences for (Circular) Business Patterns

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about consumer preferences for combinations of circular business model patterns, despite their potential to benefit the design of product services. This study examines consumer preferences for product‐as‐a‐service offers, combined with circular product attributes, across Sweden and the Netherlands.
