Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Anatomy of Sheep Hair Follicle Heterogeneity and Wool Curvature

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Wool is the critical textile raw material which is produced by the hair follicle of sheep. Therefore, it has important implications to investigate the molecular mechanism governing hair follicle development.

Thermoregulatory response in hair sheep and shorn wool sheep [PDF]

Small Ruminant Research, 2016
Abstract This study’s main goal was to evaluate the thermoregulatory responses velocity through the variation of rectal temperature (RT), related to the thermolytic pathways, respiratory rate (RR) and sweating rate (SR) among different sheep breeds. Ninety female sheep, eighteen of each breed: Santa Ines and Morada Nova (Brazilian hair breeds), Texel,

Genomic Diversity of U.S. Katahdin Hair Sheep. [PDF]

J Anim Breed Genet
ABSTRACTIn the late 1950s, Katahdin hair sheep were developed as a composite breed of medium size and moderate prolificacy, with potential to express resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes. With increasing popularity and the recent adoption of genomic prediction in their genetic evaluation, there is a risk of decreasing variation with selection based

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Candidate Genes Regulating the Skin and Hair Diversity of Xinji Fine-Wool Sheep and Tan Sheep

Agriculture, 2021
The hair follicle is a complex mini-organ in the skin that undergoes organ induction, morphogenesis, and regeneration. However, the accurate molecular mechanism of skin and hair diversity regulation is still elusive. The sheep is an animal model that can

Heat tolerance in Brazilian hair sheep [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016
The aim of this study was to evaluate heat tolerance using heat tolerance indices, physiological, physical, thermographic, and hematological parameters in Santa Ines and Morada Nova sheep breeds in the Federal District, Brazil.Twenty-six adult hair sheep, one and a half years old, from two genetic groups (Santa Ines: 12 males and 4 females; Morada Nova:

Chemical and fatty acid composition of Manchego type and Panela cheeses manufactured from either hair sheep milk or cow milk.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2021
This study compared the chemical composition and fatty acid (FA) profile of Manchego type cheese and Panela cheese made from hair sheep milk and compared these with both types of cheese manufactured with cow milk as a reference.

Sheep IGFBP2 and IGFBP4 promoter methylation regulates gene expression and hair follicle development

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2022
Background: Hair follicle development is important for the fineness of wool. Our previous methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing showed that IGFBP2 and IGFBP4 were differentially methylated at different development stages of the hair follicle of ...

Heat stress effects on sheep: Are hair sheep more heat resistant?

Theriogenology, 2020
Climatic variables can trigger physiological, biochemical, haematological and hormonal alterations that influence the maintenance of homeothermy and can affect production and productivity in sheep. Different mechanisms are responsible for tolerance to heat stress (HS) including coat and skin colour, body size, fat distribution, physiological reactions ...

Biochemical Polymorphism studies in breeds of wool-sheep, hair-sheep and their hybrids in Malaysia [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 1995
A biochemical genetic study on bolld enzyme/protein systems in some breeds/crosses of sheep in Malaysia was carried out using horizontal starch elelectrophoresis. Blood samples were collected from 435 sheep, representing 8 breeds/crosses. These included 5 wool sheep breeds (Thai Longtail, Wiltshire, Suffolk, Dorsimal and cMBLx), 1 hair sheep breed ...
