A simple method for genomic selection of moderately sized dairy cattle populations

Animal, 2012
An efficient algorithm for genomic selection of moderately sized populations based on single nucleotide polymorphism chip technology is described. A total of 995 Israeli Holstein bulls with genetic evaluations based on daughter records were genotyped for

Mining key circRNA-associated-ceRNA networks for milk fat metabolism in cows with varying milk fat percentages

BMC Genomics
Background Cow milk fat is an essential indicator for evaluating and measuring milk quality and cow performance. Growing research has identified the molecular functions of circular RNAs (circRNAs) necessary for mammary gland development and lactation in ...

Lipidomics of allantoic fluid collected by allantocentesis indicates a possible mechanism underlying partial litter loss in multifetal pregnancies of ewes

Scientific Reports
Fetal mortality significantly impacts reproductive efficiency in sheep, with approximately 30% of fetuses failing to survive until lambing. In multifetal gestation, partial litter loss (PLL) occurs in 28% to 37% of cases.

Analysis of differences in the rumen microbiome and metabolic function in prepartum dairy cows with different body condition scores

Animal Microbiome
Background The rumen is a crucial digestive organ for dairy cows. The rumen microbiota assists in the digestion of plant feed through microbe-mediated fermentation, during which the plant feed is transformed into nutrients for the cow's use.

Cannabinoid receptor-2 ligand beta-caryophyllene modulates inflammatory responses of bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro

Scientific Reports
Beta-caryophyllene (BCP) is an agonist of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CNR2/CB2), exerting mostly anti-inflammatory effects in rodents, but not explored in cattle.

Exploring the Rumen Microbiota and Serum Metabolite Profile of Hainan Black Goats with Different Body Weights before Weaning

Animals
The critical role of the rumen microbiota in the growth performance of livestock is recognized, yet its significance in determining the body weight of goat kids before weaning remains less understood.
