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.

Toxicokinetics of Deoxynivalenol in Dezhou Male Donkeys after Oral Administration

Toxins, 2023
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is detected in different types of foods and feeds, inducing toxicity in humans and animals. After entering the organism, DON first appears in the plasma; then, it is rapidly absorbed and distributed in various organs and tends to accumulate in the body to exert its toxic effects.

Metabolic Alternations During Gestation in Dezhou Donkeys and the Link to the Gut Microbiota

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The maternal intestinal microbial community changes dramatically during pregnancy and plays an important role in animal growth, metabolism, immunity and reproduction. However, our understanding of microbiota compositional dynamics during the whole pregnancy period in donkey is incomplete.
