Analysis of genetic co-adaptability of structural loci in Hu sheep

HEREDITAS, 2007
Using the method of multiloci electrophoresis, genetic co-adaptability of Hu Sheep was analyzed according to allele frequencies in 14 structural loci. The results showed that no co-adaptability existed in the dominance-dominance model, while co-adaptability was observed in X-p-Cat combination locus of dominance-codominance model and in Po-CA, Po-Cat ...

Heated drinking water in winter improves growth performance of male Hu sheep by modulating rumen quorum sensing and metabolites, and enhancing serum antioxidant capacity

Animal bioscience
Objective This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which increasing the temperature of drinking water in winter promotes sheep growth from a microbiological perspective. Methods A total of 12 healthy male Hu sheep were evenly divided into two groups:

Changes in lipids and aroma compounds in intramuscular fat from Hu sheep

Food Chemistry, 2022
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is associated with lamb flavor and largely varies between individuals of the same breed. However, studies investigating the effects of IMF variations on lipid profiles and aroma compounds are limited. Here, we performed lipidomic and volatilomic profiling of high-IMF and low-IMF Hu lambs.

Effect of Thawing Rates and Antioxidants on Semen Cryopreservation in Hu Sheep

Biopreservation and Biobanking, 2021
Hu sheep is a valuable sheep breed in China, and semen cryopreservation of Hu sheep is important for sustainable development of the agri-food industry. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of thawing rate and antioxidants (procyanidins [PC] and mitoquinone [MitoQ]) on the quality and antioxidant enzyme activity of post-thaw sperm in Hu sheep.

Effects of guanidinoacetic acid supplementation on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, immune function, and antioxidant capacity in Xinjiang Hu sheep

Frontiers in Animal Science
Hu sheep, a key meat breed introduced to Xinjiang, face growth inhibition and low feed efficiency due to challenges in adapting to the cold, arid climate and drastic seasonal temperature fluctuations in northern Xinjiang.

Unconservative_15_2570409 suppresses progesterone receptor expression in the granulosa cells of Hu sheep

Theriogenology, 2020
Female fertility potential depends on the number of mature follicles; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Based on previously generated miRNA and mRNA sequencing data of healthy ovarian follicles (>5 mm in diameter) isolated from Hu sheep with different prolificacy, we investigated the roles of a novel miRNA ...

Effects of silage from different maize varieties on growth traits, meat quality, slaughter performance, apparent digestibility of nutrients, and rumen microbiota in Hu sheep

Frontiers in Animal Science
In this study, we examined the impact of various maize to maize varieties on the performance and digestibility of hu sheep. A total of thirty-six healthy male hu sheep, all of similar weight, were selected and randomly assigned to one of three groups ...

Preliminary genetic parameter estimates of meat quality traits in Hu sheep

Meat Science
Because substantial numbers of Chinese consumers are prepared to pay for tender and quality lamb, meat quality traits are becoming more relevant for breeding programs for Chinese sheep breeds. The current study estimated heritabilities and genetic correlations for 13 meat quality traits recorded on lamb loins from Hu sheep.

Characterization of a Novel Xylanase Gene from Rumen Content of Hu Sheep

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2015
A novel xylanase gene, xyn-lxy, was cloned from a metagenomic fosmid library, which was previously constructed from the rumen contents of Hu sheep and was functionally characterized in Escherichia coli. The open reading frame was composed of 1923 bp and encoded for 640 amino acids, including a catalytic domain of glycosyl hydrolase family 10 and ...
