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

Animal Science, 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.

Genome-Wide Association Study of Body Weight Traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Objective: Body weight is an important economic trait for a goat, which greatly affects animal growth and survival. The purpose of this study was to identify genes associated with birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), and yearling weight (YW).Materials

The influence of pregnancy and the beginning of lactation on pelage traits in cashmere goats [PDF]

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pregnancy followed by the beginning of lactation on fibre traits incashmere goats. Two groups of cashmere-bearing goats aged between 2-3 years were used.

Integrating proteomics revealed the key targets for molecular breeding of fine cashmere traits in cashmere goats. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
In this study, the molecular mechanism of superfine fiber properties of Inner Mongolia Alpas cashmere was revealed by using fiber physical properties measurement and deep proteomics technology. The results showed that the average diameter of Alpas cashmere fiber (14.13 μm) was significantly lower than that of ordinary cashmere (17.29 μm). A total of 79

A highly polymorphic caprine keratin-associated protein gene identified and its effect on cashmere traits. [PDF]

J Anim Sci, 2021
Abstract Five keratin-associated protein 6 genes (KRTAP6) have been identified in sheep and variation in some KRTAP6 has been associated with wool fiber diameter-related traits, but none of these homologues have been identified in goats.

Whole-Genome Selective Scans Detect Genes Associated with Cashmere Traits and Climatic Adaptation in Cashmere Goats (<i>Capra hircus</i>) in China. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
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 optimize yield and quality.

The Identification and Characteristics of miRNAs Related to Cashmere Fiber Traits in Skin Tissue of Cashmere Goats

Genes, 2023
microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the regulation of biological phenomena by down-regulating the expression of mRNAs. In this study, Liaoning cashmere (LC) goats (n = 6) and Ziwuling black (ZB) goats (n = 6) with different cashmere fiber production performances were selected.
