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

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

Sikkimese yak: Characterization of a yak population in Peril

The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences
Yak population of Sikkim currently stands at 5,219 heads and is reared by the nomadic pastoral community called Dokpa. This population has not been characterized till date and further, if not conserved, this valuable germplasm may become unavailable for utilization.

Robust Representation Learning for Clean Feature Discovery in Incomplete Multi‐View Clustering

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robust feature discovery in incomplete multi‐view clustering is achieved by coupling RPCA‐based clean representation recovery with neural‐network‐assisted graph learning. The resulting RIMVC framework constructs cleaner and more discriminative graph‐structured representations from incomplete and noisy multi‐view data, improving clustering robustness ...

Chuzan Virus in Yaks, Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China

, 2018
We detected Chuzan virus (CHUV) in domestic yaks from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, western China, indicating CHUV probably has been transmitted to yaks in recent years.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Lipocalin‐2 activates hepatic stellate cells and promotes nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in high‐fat diet–fed Ob/Ob mice

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Graphical summary of obesity‐induced NASH progression by LCN2 targeted to HSC activation. Abstract Background and Aims In obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, leptin promotes insulin resistance and contributes to the progression of NASH via activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).

Socio-Environmental Dynamics of Alpine Grasslands, Steppes and Meadows of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, China: A Commentary

Applied Sciences, 2020
Alpine grasslands are a common feature on the extensive (2.6 million km2) Qinghai–Tibet plateau in western and southwestern China. These grasslands are characterized by their ability to thrive at high altitudes and in areas with short growing seasons and

Seroprevalence of Chlamydia abortus infection in yak (Bos grunniens) in Tibet, China

Irish Veterinary Journal, 2021
Chlamydia spp. are prevalent zoonotic pathogens that infect a wide variety of host species. Chlamydia abortus (C. abortus) infection in yaks has been reported in Gansu and Qinghai province, China. However, no data about C. abortus infection are available
