Effects of Different Feeding Modes on Growth Performance, Blood Biochemistry, and Metabolism of Yushu Yaks During the Cold Season [PDF]
AnimalsYushu yaks face nutritional deficiency and poor production performance in the cold season on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, yet their metabolic responses to different feeding modes remain unclear.

Whole-genome analysis of introgressive hybridization and characterization of the bovine legacy of Mongolian yaks [PDF]
Nature Genetics, 2017 The yak is remarkable for its adaptation to high altitude and occupies a central place in the economies of the mountainous regions of Asia. At lower elevations, it is common to hybridize yaks with cattle to combine the yak’s hardiness with the ...

Physiological and Metabolic Adaptation to Heat Stress at Different Altitudes in Yaks
Metabolites, 2022 Yaks have strong adaptability to extremely cold and hypoxic conditions but are susceptible to high ambient temperature when yaks are raised in low-altitude areas during the high-temperature season.

Effect of Rumen-Protected Lysine Supplementation on Growth Performance, Blood Metabolites, Rumen Fermentation and Bacterial Community on Feedlot Yaks Offered Corn-Based Diets [PDF]
AnimalsFeedlots rely on corn-based total mixed rations (TMR) to finish yaks. However, corn is markedly deficient in lysine and, therefore, we hypothesized that feedlot yaks supplemented with rumen-protected lysine (RPLys) would improve performance. To test this

Evolutionary origin of genomic structural variations in domestic yaks
Nature Communications, 2023 Yak has been subject to natural selection, human domestication and interspecific introgression during its evolution. However, genetic variants favored by each of these processes have not been distinguished previously. We constructed a graph-genome for 47
