Spatial variations in the microbiota: comparative analysis of microbial composition and predicted functions across different intestinal segments and feces in donkeys [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Donkeys, as single-stomach herbivores, have a complex and diverse microbial community in their digestive tracts. The intestinal bacterial community is crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, as well as the host’s overall nutrition and health ...

Association of HOXC8 Genetic Polymorphisms with Multi-Vertebral Number and Carcass Weight in Dezhou Donkey. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2022
An increase in the number of vertebrae can significantly affect the meat production performance of livestock, thus increasing carcass weight, which is of great importance for livestock production. The homeobox gene C8 (HOXC8) has been identified as an essential candidate gene for regulating vertebral development.

Fermented Codonopsis pilosula residue improved milk performance of lactating donkeys by enhancing antioxidant capacity and regulating metabolism [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
The fermented Codonopsis pilosula residue (FCPR) has a promoting effect on animal health, but it has not been studied in livestock feed. This study investigated the effects of FCPR addition on the milk performance, milk metabolites, and blood biochemical

Identification and Comparative Analysis of Long Non-Coding RNA in the Skeletal Muscle of Two Dezhou Donkey Strains. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2020
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been extensively studied in many livestock. However, compared with other livestock breeds, there is less research regarding donkey lncRNA function. It has been reported that lncRNA plays an important role in the timing control of development, aging, and death of livestock.

Plasma Hormone and Metabolomics Identifies Metabolic Pathways Associated with Growth Rate of Dezhou Donkeys. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Background: The growth traits of donkeys from the same farm under the same feeding conditions often vary. Methods: In this study, Plasma hormone level and LC–MS-based metabolomics was used to identify the metabolic pathways and the key metabolites associated with the growth rate of Dezhou donkeys. Results: The level of IGF-1 in the SG was significantly

Effect of Inhibin Immunization on Reproductive Hormones and Testicular Morphology of Dezhou Donkeys During the Non-Breeding Season. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
The present study was designed to investigate the potential role of inhibin immunization on plasma hormone concentration and testicular histoarchitecture of Dezhou donkeys in the nonbreeding season (November–February). For this purpose, adult Dezhou donkeys (n = 30) were equally divided into groups A, B, and C.
