Comparative Meta‐Analysis of Antimicrobial Peptides in Aquatic and Terrestrial Livestock Species

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A global meta‐analysis of 58 studies (926 effect sizes and 29 species across five taxa) revealed that dietary antimicrobial peptides generally improve growth performance, blood metabolites, and immune responses. The greatest benefits were observed in omnivorous livestock, such as pigs and chickens. Dose‐duration effects were evident. An optimal outcome

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

open access: yesAsian-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 ...

Sheep Horn Development Revealed by Multi‐Tissue and Cross‐Species Transcriptomic Analysis

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Multi‐tissue and cross‐species transcriptomics with allele‐specific expression show sheep horns are a composite organ integrating epidermal and osteogenic programs. Conserved horn gene modules and cis‐regulatory variation fine‐tune expression networks underlying horn development and size (small scurs vs. large spiral horns).

Diagnosis of bacteraemia in neonatal foals using 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in foals. Early diagnosis can improve outcome but is complicated by non‐specific clinical signs and delayed confirmation of infection via blood culture. Molecular assays represent a rapid and more sensitive alternative.

Maternal overweight and obesity during pregnancy and sex‐dependent dysregulation of the materno‐fetal stress axis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Maternal obesity and excess gestational weight gain (GWG) are linked to adverse perinatal outcomes, potentially via disruption of the maternal–fetal stress axis. Placental HSD11B2 protects the fetus from excess glucocorticoids and may influence fetal programming during maternal metabolic stress.

Macronutrient and micronutrient profiles of meat types: insights into human health and diet

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite considerable advances in global health and nutrition, emerging challenges such as population growth, climate change, and limited natural resources continue to threaten food security. Meat remains an essential component of the human diet, supplying high‐quality proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and minerals necessary ...

Studies on the hair follicle population in the Corriedale sheep

open access: yesNihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 1953
The present paper describes the post-natal character and its development of the hair follicle group which is a fundarnental unit of the fleece, in the skin of lambs of the Corriedale breed.The tested arlimals were four Corriedale lambs and the skin samples of the lambs were removed from three different regions of each lamb at four stages, namely at 1 ...
