Effects of Short-Chain Fatty Acid Modulation on Potentially Diarrhea-Causing Pathogens in Yaks Through Metagenomic Sequencing

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are principal nutrient substrates of intestinal epithelial cells that regulate the epithelial barrier in yaks. Until now, metagenomics sequencing has not been reported in diarrheal yaks.

Multi-omics insights into the energy compensation of rumen microbiota of grazing yaks in cold season [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundThe ability of yaks to adapt to the extreme environment of low temperatures and hypoxia at cold seasons on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is related to the host genome; however, the convergent evolution of rumen microbiomes in host adaption is

Multiomics of yaks reveals significant contribution of microbiome into host metabolism

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
An intensive feeding system might improve the production cycle of yaks. However, how intensive feeding system contributes to yak growth is unclear. Here, multi-omics, including rumen metagenomics, rumen and plasma metabolomics, were performed to classify

Cloning and Expression Analysis of Two Kdm Lysine Demethylases in the Testes of Mature Yaks and Their Sterile Hybrids

Animals, 2020
The objective of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism for male sterility of yak hybrids based on two demethylases. Total RNA was extracted from the testes of adult yaks (n = 10) and yak hybrids (cattle−yaks, n = 10).

Seasonal Prevalence and Novel Multilocus Genotypes of Giardia duodenalis in Yaks (Bos grunniens) in Qinghai Province, Western China [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2021
Background: Giardia duodenalis is an important opportunistic zoonotic intestinal protozoon, which could parasitize yaks. However, a few studies have been conducted on the seasonal infection of G. duodenalis in yaks in China.

Effect of Rumen-Protected Lysine Supplementation on Growth Performance, Blood Metabolites, Rumen Fermentation and Bacterial Community on Feedlot Yaks Offered Corn-Based Diets [PDF]

Animals
Feedlots 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

Genome-Wide Association Study of Body Weight Trait in Yaks

Animals, 2022
SIMPLE SUMMARY: The yak is the largest mammal in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and also supplies necessary sources of food and finance for the Tibetan people. Their body weight is a valuable trait for breeding.

Feeding systems influence the rumen resistome in yaks by changing the microbiome [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
The rumen microbiome serves as a reservoir of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) with significant implications for public health. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different feeding systems on the rumen resistome in yaks.
