Identification of functional circRNAs regulating ovarian follicle development in goats

BMC Genomics
Barkground Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important regulatory roles in a variety of biological processes in mammals. Multiple birth-traits in goats are affected by several factors, but the expression and function of circRNAs in follicular development of ...

Exploration of non-coding RNAs related to intramuscular fat deposition in Xinjiang Brown cattle and Angus × Wagyu cattle

BMC Genomics
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) serve as crucial regulatory elements in the process of adipogenesis in animals; however, the specific roles and interrelationships of ncRNAs in bovine fat deposition remain poorly understood.

Effect of Supplementary Feeding on Milk Volume, Milk Composition, Blood Biochemical Index, and Fecal Microflora Diversity in Grazing Yili Mares

Animals, 2023
Grazing is a common approach to rearing. We investigated the effects of supplementation during grazing on milk yield and composition, blood biochemistry, and fecal microflora in Yili horses.

Contrasting effects of large herbivore grazing on smaller herbivores [PDF]

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2009
Assemblages of large herbivores may compete For food or facilitate one another. However, small vertebrate herbivore species co-occurring with large herbivores may be affected by large herbivore grazing through changes in plant species composition, nutrient content and vegetation structure.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

SIRT3 mediates CPT2 delactylation to enhance mitochondrial function and proliferation in goat granulosa cells

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Reproductive efficiency in goats is closely linked to the healthy development of follicles, with the proliferation of ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) playing a crucial role in this process.

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

Global gene expression profiling of perirenal brown adipose tissue whitening in goat kids reveals novel genes linked to adipose remodeling

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is known to be capable of non-shivering thermogenesis under cold stimulation, which is related to the mortality of animals.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.
