Characterization of Anaerobic Rumen Fungal Community Composition in Yak, Tibetan Sheep and Small Tail Han Sheep Grazing on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Animals, 2020
The anaerobic rumen fungal community play a critical role in fibrous material degradation. However, there is a lack of data describing the composition of anaerobic rumen fungal community of full grazing ruminants in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. For this reason, we employed the next-generation sequencing technique to elucidate the rumen fungal structure

Population Structure and Genetic Diversity of Tibetan Sheep Revealed by Whole-Genome Resequencing: Implications for Conservation and Breeding. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Background: Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries) have evolved remarkable adaptations to the extreme high-altitude environment of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. While previous studies have identified some genetic features underlying these adaptations, a comprehensive ...

Whole-genome sequencing resources of 301 indigenous Tibetan sheep from the Himalayan region. [PDF]

Sci Data
Compared to commercial sheep breeds, Tibetan sheep are exceptionally productive in high-altitude environments. Whole-genome sequencing can elucidate the genetic markers and candidate genes related to such economic traits, greatly accelerating the ...

Rumen methanogen and protozoal communities of Tibetan sheep and Gansu Alpine Finewool sheep grazing on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, China [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Tibetan sheep (TS) and Gansu Alpine Finewool sheep (GS) are both important plateau sheep raised and fed on the harsh Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China. Rumen methanogen and protozoal communities of plateau sheep are affected by their hosts and living environments, and play important roles in ruminant nutrition and greenhouse gas production.

Characterization of fungal microbial diversity in Tibetan sheep, Tibetan gazelle and Tibetan antelope in the Qiangtang region of Tibet

Mycoscience, 2022
Due to the high crude fiber content, straw of various crops is difficult to become a high quality forage resource. The degradation of cellulose in nature mainly depends on the cellulase secreted by microbes, which degrade cellulose into small molecular substances through chemical action, and the microbes that secrete cellulase mainly include some ...

Saline pasture improve meat quality in Qinghai Tibetan sheep through changes in the rumen microbiota. [PDF]

Front Microbiol
Introduction This study aimed to investigate the effects of natural forage from different regions (saline-alkali and non-saline-alkali areas) on the rumen microbiota, muscle metabolites, and meat quality of Tibetan sheep.

Comparative analysis of genome-wide copy number variations between Tibetan sheep and White Suffolk sheep

Animal Biotechnology, 2021
The DNA copy number variations (CNVs) are widely involved in affecting various kinds of biological functions, such as environmental adaptation. Tibetan sheep and White Suffolk sheep are two representative indigenous and exotic breeds raised in Sichuan, China, and both of them have many contrasting biological characteristics.

Energy substrate metabolism in skeletal muscle and liver when consuming diets of different energy levels: comparison between Tibetan and Small-tailed Han sheep

Animal, 2021
The energy intake of Tibetan sheep on the harsh Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) varies greatly with seasonal forage fluctuations and is often below maintenance requirements, especially during the long, cold winter.

Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Evolution of Tibetan Sheep Based on mtDNA D-Loop Sequences. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The molecular and population genetic evidence of the phylogenetic status of the Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries) is not well understood, and little is known about this species' genetic diversity.
