Goat Genomic Resources: The Search for Genes Associated with Its Economic Traits

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Goat plays a crucial role in human livelihoods, being a major source of meat, milk, fiber, and hides, particularly under adverse climatic conditions. The goat genomics related to the candidate gene approach is now being used to recognize molecular mechanisms that have different expressions of growth, reproductive, milk, wool, and disease resistance ...

Cysteamine-supplemented diet for cashmere goats: A potential strategy to inhibit rumen biohydrogenation and enhance plasma antioxidant capacity

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Cysteamine (CS), as a feed supplement, can increase the level of growth hormone (GH) in the blood, promote animal growth. However, little attention has been paid to the effects of CS on the rumen microbiome and metabolic profile in cashmere goats.

MicroRNA-mRNA Regulatory Networking Fine-Tunes Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Synthesis and Metabolism in the Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Fatty acid composition is an important aspect of meat quality in ruminants. Improving the beneficial fatty acid level in cashmere goat meat is important to its economic value.

Influence of pasture or total mixed ration on fatty acid composition and expression of lipogenic genes of longissimus thoracis and subcutaneous adipose tissues in Albas White Cashmere Goats

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
The aim of this study was to evaluate pasture or total mixed ration (TMR) feeding of adult and kid Albas White Cashmere Goats (AWCG), considering the FA profiles and lipogenic gene expressions in the longissimus thoracis (LT) and subcutaneous adipose ...

Effects of Mannitol on Rumen and Fecal Microbiome, Immune Function, and Antioxidant Capacity of Sunit Sheep

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates the effects of uncoated and coated mannitol supplementation on ruminal and fecal microbiomes, serum immune indices, antioxidant status, and metabolism in Sunit sheep. Neither uncoated nor coated mannitol altered growth performance.

Terrestrial Poor Ecohealth Areas Continue to Expand Across Asian Drylands

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The 7th Rio declaration principle emphasizes global collaboration to protect and restore ecosystem health. While dryland ecosystem health (EH) remains critical to global sustainability agendas, its long‐term regional dynamics remain poorly constrained across the Asian drylands (AD), where land management decisions increasingly shape ecological

Integrating Herbivore Population Dynamics Into a Global Land Biosphere Model: Plugging Animals Into the Earth System

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 9, Issue 8, Page 2920-2945, December 2017., 2017
Abstract Mammalian herbivores are an essential component of grassland and savanna ecosystems, and with feedbacks to the climate system. To date, the response and feedbacks of mammalian herbivores to changes in both abiotic and biotic factors are poorly quantified and not adequately represented in the current global land surface modeling framework.

From Assessment to Optimization: A Comprehensive Review of the Mutton Quality Evaluation Index, Factors, and Improvement Strategies

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes the comprehensive framework of mutton quality, including evaluation indices, influencing factors, and improvement strategies. Meat quality is systematically assessed through multiple dimensions, including flavor, color, pH, tenderness, water‐holding capacity, intramuscular fat, and nutritional composition.

De Novo Transcriptome Assembly and Differential Gene Expression Profiling of Three Capra hircus Skin Types during Anagen of the Hair Growth Cycle

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Despite that goat is one of the best nonmodel systems for villus growth studies and hair biology, limited gene resources associated with skin or hair follicles are available. In the present study, using Illumina/Solexa sequencing technology, we de novo assembled 130 million mRNA‐Seq reads into a total of 49,115 contigs.
