A consideration of resistance and tolerance for ruminant nematode infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Debates on the relative merits of resistance (the ability of the host to control the parasite lifecycle) and tolerance (the net impact of infection on host performance) are often lively and unhindered by data or evidence.

Association of Biometric Traits with Growth Hormone Gene Diversity in Raini Cashmere Goats

open access: yesWalailak Journal of Science and Technology (WJST), 2018
In recent years, the important effects of growth hormone on a broad variety of physiological parameters, such as lactation, reproduction, growth, and metabolism, have attracted many researchers' attentions. To detect GH gene polymorphism and its association with the biometric traits of Raini Cashmere goats, 300 animals were selected and the animals ...

Variation in the Caprine KAP24-1 Gene Affects Cashmere Fibre Diameter

open access: yesAnimals, 2019
The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are structural components of cashmere fibres. The gene encoding the high-sulphur (HS)-KAP24-1 (KRTAP24-1) has been identified in humans and sheep, but it has not been described in goats. In this study, we report the

Cross-population analyses between cashmere, angora and non-fibre-producing goats identified signatures of divergent selection

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science
Angora and Cashmere goats differ in hair follicle biology and fibre traits. To explore the genetic basis of these differences, Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) of Cashmere, Angora, and non-fibre goats were used to identify divergent selection signatures and
