Effects of Astragalus Membranaceus supplementation on oxidative stability of Cashmere goat
Astragalus membranaceus (AM) provides polysaccharides that can act as powerful antioxidants, and AM goats presented a relatively higher antioxidant capacity than the C (basal diet) goats Abstract Astragalus membranaceus (AM) provides a rich source of polysaccharides that can act as powerful antioxidants, but their potential as feed ingredients in the ...

Skin Deiodinase Profiles after Melatonin Manipulated in Chinese Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
The roles of melatonin in the control of deiodinase (MD) activity in cashmere goat skin and associated cashmere fibre growth were investigated. Eighteen half-sib Chinese Inner Mongolia cashmere wethers were allocated randomly to two groups (n = 9/group).

Inner Mongolia Arbas white cashmere goats is a dual-purpose breed for producing cashmere and meat. In recent years, its meat has become more and more popular among consumers because of rich nutrients and delicious flavor. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the genetic and non-genetic factors affecting the early growth traits and estimate ...

Screening of cashmere fineness-related genes and their ceRNA network construction in cashmere goats
Competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) is a transcript that can be mutually regulated at the post-transcriptional level by competing shared miRNAs. The ceRNA network connects the function of protein-encoded mRNA with the function of non-coding RNA, such as ...

Indices for the identification of biologically productive cashmere goats within farms
Objectively comparing cashmere goats with different cashmere production, mean fibre diameter (MFD) and staple length (SL) is difficult for farmers. We aimed to develop indices to enable cashmere producers to identify productive goats within their own ...
