Direct Comparison Between Loss‐to‐Follow‐Up and Statistical Fragility Is Methodologically Inappropriate, and Fragility Reflects the P Value, Not Trial Robustness: A Simulation Analysis of 300,000 Randomized Controlled Trials

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To assess the relation between the fragility index (FI) and reverse fragility index (RFI) with the minimum number of patients needed to reverse statistical significance (e.g. henceforth termed the lost to follow‐up index (LTFI) and reverse LTFI (R‐LTFI), respectively) and apply machine learning to identify which trial parameters are most ...

Prediction of water intake in hair sheep: development of a new model

Frontiers in Animal Science
The objective of this study was to establish equations for the prediction of the water intake (WI) of hair sheep. The data set used was derived from eight studies containing 185 individual observations of hair sheep:120 non-castrated males, 22 castrated ...

GESTATION LENGTH OF KARI SHEEP [PDF]

, 2008
Previously, the concept of a gestation period of sheep shorter than 121 days was unheard of in the field of sheep biology. Our findings during a farmers’ survey in the Lotkho area of Chitral, Pakistan, revealed that the sheep native to the region,

Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

Genomic Structural Variations Provide Insights Into Litter Size and Teat Number Traits in Hu Sheep

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Here, we conducted whole genome sequencing on 300 Hu sheep with an average depth of 16.51X. Two candidate genes associated with litter size and teat number traits were identified, namely MAST2 and AFDN. ABSTRACT Litter size and the teat number are important economic indicators in sheep production.

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 ...

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

Animal 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

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

Animal 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

Equine 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.
