Genomic prediction of the polled and horned phenotypes in Merino sheep

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018
Background In horned sheep breeds, breeding for polledness has been of interest for decades. The objective of this study was to improve prediction of the horned and polled phenotypes using horn scores classified as polled, scurs, knobs or horns.

Targeted Demethylation of the TGFβ1 mRNA Promotes Myoblast Proliferation via Activating the SMAD2 Signaling Pathway

Cells, 2023
Recent evidence suggested that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation can determine m6A-modified mRNA fate and play an important role in skeletal muscle development.

Dietary spirulina supplementation modifies rumen development, fermentation and bacteria composition in Hu sheep when consuming high-fat dietary

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionThis study aims to investigate the long-term effects of spirulina supplementation in a high-fat diet (HFD) on rumen morphology, rumen fermentation, and the composition of rumen microbiota in lambs.

Impact of Booroola fecundity gene introgression on sheep production: Indian perspective

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2021
Surge of demand for meat from diverse sources in a time of decling land and other natural resources shifted the trend of producing more sheep per sheep. Prolificacy aspect in sheep can be used as an important arsenal to fulfil this objective.
