Effect of Astragalus mollissimus on Ruminal Fermentation, Methane Production and Performance of Sheep

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
The effects of A. mollissimus (AM) supplementation on methane (CH4) production, volatile fatty acids, animal performance and nitro compound presence in blood were evaluated through two experiments. Results showed an CH4 reduction by up to 60%. No adverse effects on animal performance and no detectable nitro compound in plasma were reported.

Unveiling the Pre‐Weaning Growth Performance and Some Reproductive Characteristics of Akkaraman and Central Anatolian Merino Sheep

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
This study evaluates growth and reproductive traits in Akkaraman (AKK) and Central Anatolian Merino (CAM) sheep in Türkiye. AKK lambs showed higher birth weights but lower weaning weights and growth rates compared to CAM lambs. Significant non‐genetic factors, such as sex, birth type and dam age, influenced these traits.

Integration analysis of transcriptome and proteome of Chinese Merino sheep (Ovis aries) embryonic skeletal muscle

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 129-142, February 2025.
This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of sheep late fetal skeletal muscle development from proliferation to hypertrophy. We performed the comprehensive analysis of transcriptome and proteome of Chinese Merino sheep at embryonic ages Day85 (D85N), Day105 (D105N) and Day135 (D135N) by the tandem mass tags (TMT) and RNA‐seq methods. We found
