Effect of age on lung adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia in Tibetan sheep [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceAfter prolonged adaptation to high-altitude environments, Tibetan sheep have developed a robust capacity to withstand hypobaric hypoxia. Compared to low-altitude sheep, various organs and tissues in Tibetan sheep have undergone significant adaptive ...

Rumen Microbiota of Tibetan Sheep (Ovis aries) Adaptation to Extremely Cold Season on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is characterized by low temperatures and hypoxia, and this feature is more obvious in the winter. However, it is not clear how Tibetan sheep adapt to extreme cold climates. To address this, we used physiological methods combined

Association of bmpr-1b gene 3"-utr region polymorphism with litter size in tibetan sheep [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2021 Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor-1B (BMPR-1B) is considered as the primary gene in sheep for follicular development and litter size trait. It has been defi ned as the most major candidate gene for genetic markers of sheep reproductive performance.
