Comprehensive transcriptomic analysis unveils the interplay of mRNA and LncRNA expression in shaping collagen organization and skin development in Dezhou donkeys

Frontiers in Genetics
The primary focus of donkey hide gelatin processing lies in the dermal layer of donkey hide due to its abundant collagen content. However, the molecular mechanism involved in collagen organization and skin development in donkey skin tissue across various

Non-targeted LC-MS metabolomics reveals serum metabolites for high-altitude adaptation in Tibetan donkeys [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Tibetan donkeys inhabit the harsh environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Research on serum metabolites related to their high-altitude adaptation is limited compared to other livestock. We used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to analyze

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

Dietary Mannan Oligosaccharides Enhance Lactational Performance, Nutrient Metabolism, Plasma Metabolomics, and Gut Microbiota in Dezhou Donkeys. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
This 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 ...
