Genetic Parameter Estimation for Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Energy Reserves During Critical Physiological Stages in Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 3, Page 443-456, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The ability of ruminants to mobilise and restore body reserves (BR) over time, referred to as BR dynamics, is currently considered an interesting biological component to be included in breeding programs targeting enhanced BR resilience. However, genetic studies of proxies for BR levels and BRD remain scarce, particularly in small ruminants ...

A meta-analysis approach for annotation and identification of lncRNAs controlling perirenal fat deposition in suckling lambs

Animal Biotechnology
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are being studied in farm animals due to their association with traits of economic interest, such as fat deposition. Based on the analysis of perirenal fat transcriptomes, this research explored the relevance of these ...
