Seasonal heat production and energy balance of grazing yaks on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau

, 2014
A study was conducted to measure the energy balance of free-ranging yak during the four annual seasons in order to elucidate the factors constraining energy utilization by grazing yak. The heat production (HP, kJ/day) of grazing non-lactating female yaks

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 ...

Probiotic Properties of Bacillus proteolyticus Isolated From Tibetan Yaks, China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Yaks (Bos grunniens) live primarily in high-altitude hypoxic conditions and have a unique intestinal micro-ecosystem, remarkable adaptability, and strong climatic resistance. Accumulating evidence revealed the importance of probiotics in host metabolism,

Multi-omics revealed the effects of dietary energy levels on the rumen microbiota and metabolites in yaks under house-feeding conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology
Yak (Bos grunniens) is a unique large ruminant species in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Changing the energy levels of their rations can significantly improve their growth performance.

Effects of high concentrate rations on ruminal fermentation and microbiota of yaks

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Ruminal microflora is closely correlated with the ruminant’s diet. However, information regarding the effect of high concentrate diets on rumen microflora in yaks is lacking. In the current study, 24 healthy male yaks were randomly assigned to two groups,
