Discrepancies in the rumen microbiome, metabolome, and serum metabolome among Hu sheep, East Friesian sheep, and East Friesian × Hu crossbred sheep. [PDF]

Front Microbiol
Crossbreeding has emerged as a strategy to combine desirable traits from different sheep breeds, with the goal of enhancing productivity, disease resistance, and growth rates. This study compares the immune responses, rumen microbiomes, and serum metabolites of Hu sheep, East Friesian (EF) sheep, and crossbred Hu × EF (DH) sheep to explore the effects ...

Analysis of lncRNAs Expression Profiles in Hair Follicle of Hu Sheep Lambskin [PDF]

Animals, 2020
Lambskin of the Hu sheep exhibits high economic value due to its water-wave pattern. Wool curvature is the key factor of the pattern types and quality of lambskin, and it is formed by the interaction between dermal papilla cells and hair matrix cells in the hair follicle, which is regulated by various genes and signaling pathways.

Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Growth Traits in Hu Sheep. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
(1) Background: The Hu sheep is a renowned breed characterized by high reproduction, year-round estrus, and resistance to high humidity and temperature conditions. However, the breed exhibits lower growth rates and meat yields, which necessitate improvements through selective breeding. The integration of molecular markers in sheep breeding programs has

Allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells overexpressing mutant human Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF1-α) in an ovine model of acute myocardial infarction [PDF]

, 2016
Background-Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMMSCs) are cardioprotective in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) because of release of paracrine angiogenic and prosurvival factors.

Age-related changes in blood biochemical composition of Hu sheep

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2022
The blood biochemical composition is indicative of the animal's performance and health status. This study evaluated the interaction between age and blood metabolites, immunoglobulins, hormones in Hu sheep. In total 30 male lambs between 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months (M) old were used in this study.

Genome-wide association study reveals candidate genes for body size and reproductive traits in Hu sheep [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective Larger body size and enhanced reproductive performance are correlated with increased profitability for sheep farmers. Hu sheep have smaller statures compared to other meat sheep breeds, necessitating improvement.

The effect of Staphylococcus aureus carriage in late pregnancy on antibody levels to staphylococcal toxins in cord blood and breast milk. [PDF]

, 2008
We investigated the effect of carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in the later stages of pregnancy on levels of antibody specific to the S. aureus toxins, staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), staphylococcal enterotoxin C (SEC) and toxic shock syndrome toxin-

BMP7 Functions to Regulate Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells in Hu Sheep [PDF]

Genes, 2022
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the structurally similar and highly conserved type of functional proteins that play an important role in hair follicle growth and development. BMP7 was a differentially expressed gene in different patterns of Hu sheep lambskin identified using Agilent microarray.
