An Integrated Analysis of Cashmere Fineness lncRNAs in Cashmere Goats [PDF]
Genes, 2019 Animal growth and development are regulated by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). However, the functions of lncRNAs in regulating cashmere fineness are poorly understood. To identify the key lncRNAs that are related to cashmere fineness in skin, we have collected skin samples of Liaoning cashmere goats (LCG) and Inner Mongolia cashmere goats (MCG) in the ...

Melatonin and cashmere growth in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats
Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 2016 The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of melatonin implants on cashmere growth and productive performance of cashmere goats. A total of thirty female goats were assigned to one of three treatments (n = 10), including control and two treatments where melatonin [2 mg kg−1 body weight (BW)] was implanted either in April and June or in June.

Short communication: Melatonin implantation during the non-growing period of cashmere increases the cashmere yield of female Inner Mongolian cashmere goats by increasing fiber length and density [PDF]
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2018 This study aimed to evaluate if melatonin implantation at the end of April and June was able to increase cashmere production in female Inner Mongolian cashmere goats and to search for contributing factors accounting for the melatonin increasing in ...

Promotion of cashmere growth by sulfur supplements in cashmere goats [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2013 This study was conducted to investigate effects of inorganic and organic sulfur supplements on cashmere growth and their differences. Thirty-six six-month-old female Liaoning cashmere goats with a body weight of approximately 25 kg and good health were randomly assigned to three treatments: control, ZnSO4 and HMBi (2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butyric acid

Cyclical fleece growth in cashmere goats [PDF]
Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 1987 Seasonal changes in fleece parameters were studied in mature feral doe goats, known to produce commercial quantities of cashmere and housed in natural light (NL) or continuous light (CL).Circannual changes in volume growth rate (VGR) of cashmere in NL were asynchronous with those of hair, resulting in maxima in April and November respectively ...

Animal Production Science, 2016 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of melatonin implants on cashmere growth, the concentrations of plasma melatonin and prolactin and the total cashmere yield in cashmere-perennial-type Liaoning cashmere goats. Twenty female goats were assigned to two treatments (n = 10) including a control and a treatment in which melatonin (2
