Pellets enriched with healthy hay and quebracho are not sufficient to control gastrointestinal nematodes in meat sheep commercial flocks

Parasitology
The emergence of AH multiresistant GIN compromises sustainability of grassland sheep farming worldwide. Plants rich in condensed tannins are an alternative method of parasitism management that is currently being explored. Feed supplementation trials with

Effects of recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (r-met-hu G-CSF) on sexual development in pre-pubertal ram lambs [PDF]

SPERMOVA, 2017
The main objective of this study was to analyse the effects of r-met-hu G-CSF application as an inductor of early sexual development in prepubertal ram lambs.

The Influence of Vacuum Level on the Milk Emission Curves and Udder Health of Saanen Goats Reared in Italy

Animals
The kinetics of milk release is influenced by several factors, including the milking facility, which affects the milk emission profile and quality. In dairy goats, the typical working vacuum level is 41–44 kPa; higher levels negatively impact health ...

Stochastic Nanoscale Biophysical Cues as a Basis for the Induction of Glioblastoma‐Like Transcriptional Programs in Astrocytes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stochastic nanoscale physical cues induce glioblastoma (GBM)‐associated transcriptional traits in naïve astrocytes leading to spontaneous formation of spheroids. Cells within spheroids express activated‐MMP2 and a differential gene expression pattern involving P53 and NOTCH3, providing evidence for a role for changes in brain topography, as observed in

3D Bioprinted Fat‐Myocardium Model Unravels the Role of Adipocyte Hypertrophy in Atrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A human‐derived 3D bioprinted fat–myocardium model is developed to investigate how adipocyte hypertrophy drives atrial dysfunction in obesity. Palmitate‐induced adipocyte hypertrophy promotes adipose dysfunction that impairs atrial cardiomyocyte metabolism and electrophysiology through both paracrine and direct interactions. This platform recapitulates

Theileria annulata infects B-cells in sheep, which display lower dissemination potential compared to T. lestoquardi-infected ovine B-cells

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Theileria annulata and Theileria lestoquardi are deadly tick-borne parasites of cattle and sheep, respectively. These parasites are transmitted by Hyalomma ticks, and their geographical distributions partially overlap, with T.

Identifying hepatic genes regulating the ovine response to gastrointestinal nematodes using RNA-Sequencing

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections are considered the most important disease of grazing sheep and due to increasing anthelmintic resistance, chemical control alone is inadequate.

Comparative Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Atlas Reveals the Genetic Regulation of Reproductive Traits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cross‐species single‐cell transcriptomic atlas of reproductive and central nervous system tissues from sheep and humans reveals conserved cellular programs and regulatory networks that regulated fertility. Integration with GWAS for sheep lifetime average litter size identifies UNC5–SLIT–BMP signaling as a core pathway coordinating neuroendocrine ...
