An analysis of skin thickness in the Dezhou donkey population and identification of candidate genes by RNA-seq. [PDF]
Animal Genetics, 2022 AbstractThe aim of the present study was to analyze the main factors that have a significant impact on skin thickness, and to further identify the genes and signaling pathways regulating skin growth by RNA‐seq in Dezhou donkeys. Skin samples from different body regions of 15 slaughtered donkeys were obtained to study variations in skin thickness over ...

Identification of LTBP2 gene polymorphisms and their association with thoracolumbar vertebrae number, body size, and carcass traits in Dezhou donkeys [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The number of thoracolumbar vertebrae in Dezhou donkeys varies from 22 to 24 and is associated with body size and carcass traits. In mammals, the latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 2 (LTBP2) has been found to have some functions in ...

Transport stress affects the fecal microbiota in healthy donkeys
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021 Background With the development of large‐scale donkey farming in China, long‐distance transportation has become common practice, and the incidence of intestinal diseases after transportation has increased. The intestinal microbiota is important in health

Dietary Mannan Oligosaccharides Enhance Lactational Performance, Nutrient Metabolism, Plasma Metabolomics, and Gut Microbiota in Dezhou Donkeys. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciThis study investigated the effects of dietary mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) supplementation on growth performance, serum biochemistry, metabolomic profiles, and fecal microbiota in lactating Dezhou donkeys. Sixteen healthy jennies and their foals were randomly allocated to a control group (MCON), a group receiving no MOS, or an MOS-supplemented group ...
