Characterization and identification of cashmere in goats in northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Revista Acadêmica: Ciência Animal, 2018
In Brazil, approximately 8 million goats are used mainly for milk and meat production, and 91% of this amount is located in the Northeast of the country. However, the use of animals for the production of textile fibers has not yet been carried out.

Screening of cashmere fineness-related genes and their ceRNA network construction in cashmere goats [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Abstract Competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) is a transcript that can be mutually regulated at the post-transcriptional level by competing shared miRNAs. The ceRNA network connects the function of protein-encoded mRNA with the function of non-coding RNA, such as microRNA (miRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and circular RNA (circRNA).

The effects of Selenohomolanthionine supplementation on the rumen eukaryotic diversity of Shaanbei white cashmere wether goats

Scientific Reports, 2023
Selenium (Se) is an important microelement for animal health. However, the knowledge about the effects of Se supplementation on rumen eukaryotic community remains less explored. In this study, the ruminal eukaryotic diversity in three months old Shaanbei

Supplemental dietary Selenohomolanthionine affects growth and rumen bacterial population of Shaanbei white cashmere wether goats

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Selenium (Se) is an important trace element for all livestock growth. However, little is known about the dietary supplementation of Selenohomolanthionine (SeHLan) effect on growth and rumen microbiota of cashmere goats.

Screening of Deletion Variants within the Goat PRDM6 Gene and Its Effects on Growth Traits

Animals, 2020
By genome-wide association studies, the PRDM6 gene has been shown to affect multiple, apparently unrelated inherited traits, including bone density and body mass index. Therefore, it is considered a potentially pleiotropic gene.

Regulation of cashmere fineness traits by noncoding RNA in Jiangnan cashmere goats

BMC Genomics, 2023
Abstract Background Cashmere has long been used as the raw material for wool textiles. The diameter of the cashmere fibre determines its quality and economic value. However, the regulatory role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in cashmere fineness remains unclear, especially regarding the interaction between ncRNAs and coding ...

Effect of melatonin administration to lactating cashmere goats on milk production of dams and on hair follicle development in their offspring

Animal, 2020
Melatonin treatment in adult cashmere goats can increase cashmere yield and improve cashmere fibre quality by inducing cashmere growth during cashmere non-growth period, of which time cashmere goats are in the mid and late stages of lactation.

The inheritance of fibre traits in a crossbred population of cashmere goats [PDF]

, 1996
Genetic parameters were calculated for fibre traits measured on patch samples taken at 5 months of age on a crossbred population of cashmere goats, comprising goats of Scottish feral, Icelandic, Tasmanian, New Zealand and Siberian origin.

Exploration of Genetic Variants within the Goat A-Kinase Anchoring Protein 12 (AKAP12) Gene and Their Effects on Growth Traits

Animals, 2021
The A-kinase anchoring protein 12 gene (AKAP12) is a scaffold protein, which can target multiple signal transduction effectors, can promote mitosis and cytokinesis and plays an important role in the regulation of growth and development.

The fiber diameter traits of Tibetan cashmere goats are governed by the inherent differences in stress, hypoxic, and metabolic adaptations: an integrative study of proteome and transcriptome

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Tibetan cashmere goats are served as a valuable model for high altitude adaptation and hypoxia complications related studies, while the cashmere produced by these goats is an important source of income for the herders.
