Research on the genetic rules of secondary traits of different staple types in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats

Journal of Applied Animal Research
Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats are excellent genetic resources in China. Cashmere yield/body weight (g/kg), staple diameter (It is the cross-sectional diameter of coarse wool)/staple length (μm/cm), and fiber diameter (It is the cross-sectional diameter ...

Realizing the unexpected: How cospecialization supports the serendipity journey in SMEs' digital transformation

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Although innovation is often portrayed as arising deterministically from deliberate strategy and calculated decisions, many significant breakthroughs emerge not from planning but serendipitously. Building on this insight, this paper bridges the literatures on dynamic capabilities and serendipity to examine how SMEs realize serendipitous value ...

Correlation and regression analysis of milk quality-related functional genes and milk components in normal milk of Liaoning cashmere goats

Annals of Agricultural Sciences
Goat milk is valued for health benefits like easy digestibility and low allergenicity, with “goaty flavor” as one of its characteristics, yet studies on the milk flavor of Liaoning cashmere goats (LCG) remain scarce.

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.

Genetic Parameters and Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Fertility and Reproduction Traits in U.S. Katahdin Sheep Based on the Single‐Step GBLUP Methodology

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sheep production contributes to a secure and diverse food and fibre supply in the United States, with growing ethnic diversity strengthening demand. Katahdin is a composite hair‐type sheep breed developed in the United States that has become the most popular breed in many regions of the country and the first one to have genomic selection ...
