Effect of Melatonin on the Production Performance, Blood Biochemical Parameters, Nutrient Digestibility, and Gastrointestinal Microbiome of Liaoning Cashmere Goats

Agriculture
Melatonin’s capacity to improve cashmere production and quality in goats is well established, but its underlying mechanisms, particularly those concerning the gastrointestinal microbiome, remain inadequately understood.

Effects of melatonin implantation on cashmere yield, fibre characteristics, duration of cashmere growth as well as growth and reproductive performance of Inner Mongolian cashmere goats [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Exogenous melatonin could induce cashmere growth. However, induced growth of cashmere fleece by melatonin implants cannot be combined with the typical growth, resulting in earlier shedding followed by another cycle of cashmere growth.

New Look on an Ancient Fiber of Cashmere [PDF]

, 2020
The word cashmere in particular refers to the fine fibers of goats that are grown in high and cold regions of the world. There is not a specific cashmere-producing goat in the world, that is, there are many breeds or ecotypes that produce cashmere fibers.

Expression of miRNA-1-3p and its target gene in hair follicle cycle development of Liaoning Cashmere goat

Animal Biotechnology, 2022
MicroRNA exerts an important regulatory role in almost all the biological process, including hair follicle development in Liaoning Cashmere goat. In order to improve the Cashmere performance of goat, the regulatory role of microRNA in hair follicle cycle has drawn hotspot attention.

Correlation and regression analysis of milk quality-related functional genes and milk components in normal milk of Liaoning cashmere goats

Annals of Agricultural Sciences
Goat milk is valued for health benefits like easy digestibility and low allergenicity, with “goaty flavor” as one of its characteristics, yet studies on the milk flavor of Liaoning cashmere goats (LCG) remain scarce.

Comprehensive analysis of differences in cashmere production performance in Liaoning cashmere goats by using metabolomics and transcriptomics

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionThe Liaoning cashmere goat is a precious dual-purpose breed in China. Although cashmere yield has improved through years of selective breeding, there remains potential for further enhancement. A subset of these goats exhibits a perennial long-

Variation in the caprine keratin-associated protein 15-1 (KAP15-1) gene affects cashmere fibre diameter [PDF]

, 2019
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are a structural component of cashmere fibre, and variation in some KAP genes (KRTAPs) has been associated with a number of caprine fibre traits.

Effects of photoperiod change on serum hormone level, hair follicle growth and antioxidant status in skin tissue of cashmere goats [PDF]

The growth of cashmere in goats was primarily influenced by natural photoperiod. However, whether artificially altering the photoperiod modified the rhythm of cashmere growth still required verification.
