Association analysis of IGF2 gene polymorphisms with growth traits of Dezhou donkey

Animal Biotechnology, 2021
IGF2 is an insulin-like growth factor that plays an important role in the development of animal embryos. In order to determine whether IGF2 gene is associated with important economic characteristics of donkeys, we investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IGF2 gene and body size traits of Chinese Dezhou donkeys and ...

Risks for animal health related to the presence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in feed

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract In 2004, the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM) adopted a Scientific Opinion on the risks to animal health and transfer from feed to food of animal origin related to the presence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in feed. The European Commission requested EFSA to assess newly available scientific information and to update the 2004 ...

Transport stress affects the fecal microbiota in healthy donkeys

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 2449-2457, September/October 2021., 2021
Abstract 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 and disease, and whether or not transportation disturbs the intestinal microbiota in ...

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Slow-Twitch and Fast-Twitch Muscles in Dezhou Donkeys

Genes, 2022
The skeletal muscle fiber profile is closely related to livestock meat quality. However, the molecular mechanisms determining muscle fiber types in donkeys are not completely understood. In this study, we selected the psoas major muscle (PM; mainly composed of oxidative-type muscle fibers) and biceps femoris muscle (BF; mainly composed of glycolytic ...

A Preliminary Study of Proteomic Analysis on Caseins and Whey Proteins in Donkey Milk from Xinjiang and Shandong of China

eFood, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 27-36, February 2021., 2021
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT The proteomics of donkey milk from China’s major producing areas have not been well documented. To explore the protein profiles of donkey milk from China, this study preliminarily investigated caseins and whey proteins in products from two major producing areas using quantitative proteomics approach. Total 15 caseins genetic variants
