Multi-omics analyses reveal that the gut microbiome and its metabolites promote milk fat synthesis in Zhongdian yak cows [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Yak cows produce higher quality milk with higher concentrations of milk fat than dairy cows. Recently, studies have found the yak milk yield and milk fat percentage have decreased significantly over the past decade, highlighting the urgency ...

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 To the Editor: In August 2006, several northern European countries including Belgium reported cases of bluetongue (BT) (1). This noncontagious, arthropod-borne animal disease is caused by Bluetongue virus (BTV), genus Orbivirus, family Reoviridae. The genome of BTV consists of 10 segments of double-stranded RNA; 24 serotypes have been reported (2 ...

Hematologic Observations on the Yak
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1975 The uak has two hemoglobins sharing a common globin chain. Hb slow appears unique to the yak among the ruminants studied. It is not known if Hb slow is important in high altitude adaptation, but physilogic rather than hematolgoic adjustments may be more important agter acute blood loss, as 2,3-DPG remains nit and no disproportionate hemolgoin ...
