High gene flows promote close genetic relationship among fine-wool sheep populations (Ovis aries) in China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
The aim of our present study was to construct genetic structure and relationships among Chinese fine-wool sheep breeds. 46 individuals from 25 breeds or strains were genotyped based on the Illumina Ovine 50K SNP array. Meanwhile, genetic variations among

Exploring the Genetic Variation of Fleece and Crutch Shedding in Sheep, Recorded at Different Times Within and Across Age Classes

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global value of wool from coarse woolled sheep continues to decline, prompting producers to seek alternatives that reduce or eliminate the need for shearing. Several sheep breeds naturally shed their fleece in response to photoperiod, and these breeds are being crossed with populations that have high genetic merit for traits such as ...

Estimates of Genetic Parameters for Ewe Longevity and Lifetime Reproductive Performance Traits in South African Merino Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ewe's functional longevity impacts flock profitability by reducing annual ewe replacement costs and increasing ewe outputs over the production cycle. In this context, the main objective of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters of five ewe longevity indicators in South African Merino sheep.

ПРОУЧВАНЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИЧНИТЕ СВОЙСТВА НА СТОКОВИ ПАРТИДИ ТЪНКА (МЕРИНОСОВА) ВЪЛНА

Животновъдни науки, 2012
The study was performed on 29 industrial merino wool batches. During the initial processing, the wool from each batch was divided into worsted (grade 64s and 60s) and carded (grades 64s and 60s).

Ariadnema polymorpha gen. et sp. nov. (Scytonemataceae, Cyanobacteria): A new heterocytous cyanobacterium with true and false branching from ruins in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract A novel heterocytous Cyanobacterium, Ariadnema polymorpha gen. et sp. nov., was observed in the northern Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), a globally significant biodiversity hotspot that has microbiome diversity yet to be explored. Isolated from ancient sugarcane mill ruins within the BAF, the new genus (strain CCAPE130) exhibits a unique ...

Construction of a high-density genetic map and QTL localization of body weight and wool production related traits in Alpine Merino sheep based on WGR

BMC Genomics
Background The Alpine Merino is a new breed of fine-wool sheep adapted to the cold and arid climate of the plateau in the world. It has been popularized in Northwest China due to its superior adaptability as well as excellent production performance ...

Genome-wide association studies detects candidate genes for wool traits by re-sequencing in Chinese fine-wool sheep

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background The quality and yield of wool determine the economic value of the fine-wool sheep. Therefore, discovering markers or genes relevant to wool traits is the cornerstone for the breeding of fine-wool sheep.

Can Farmers' Tactical Decisions Jointly Lift Profits and Lower Emissions in a Mixed Enterprise Farm System?

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 1097-1108, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study assesses how weather‐year‐dependent sheep and crop management tactics affect farm profitability and farm system greenhouse gas emissions in the central Great Southern region in Australia. To investigate the impact of farmers' tactical decisions on farm profit and emissions, a whole farm optimisation model known as the Australian ...

Evaluation of Wool Quality Parameters of Polish Sheep Breeds

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
The aim of the study was exploration of the properties of wool derived from sheep reared in Poland. Twenty-nine breeds of sheep diverse from the type of farming, e.g. for meat, dual-purpose breeds for wool-milk, and versatile wool are bred in Poland, but
