Genome-wide discovery of lincRNAs with spatiotemporal expression patterns in the skin of goat during the cashmere growth cycle
Background: Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been recognized in recent years as key regulators
of biological processes. However, lincRNAs in goat remain poorly characterized both across various tissues ...
Estimates of genetic parameters and genetic trends for growth, reproduction, milk production and milk composition traits of Awassi sheep
Genetic parameters and genetic trends for growth, reproduction, milk production and composition traits were estimated for Syrian (S) and Turkish (T) Awassi sheep and their crosses maintained at the International Center for ...
Chemical analyses and anthelmintic effects of Artemisia campestris essential oil
The present study aimed at analyzing the chemical composition and evaluating the in vitro and in vivo anthelmintic activity of Artemisia campestris essential oil aerial parts. The chemical composition was analysed by ...
Signatures of positive selection in African Butana and Kenana dairy zebu cattle
Butana and Kenana are two types of zebu cattle found in Sudan. They are unique amongst
African indigenous zebu cattle because of their high milk production. Aiming to understand
their genome structure, we genotyped 25 ...
Whole-Genome Resequencing of Red Junglefowl and Indigenous Village Chicken Reveal New Insights on the Genome Dynamics of the Species
The red junglefowl Gallus gallus is the main progenitor of domestic chicken, the
commonest livestock species, outnumbering humans by an approximate ratio of six
to one. The genetic control for production traits have been ...
Mitochondrial DNA variation reveals maternal origins and demographic dynamics of Ethiopian indigenous goats
The Horn of Africa forms one of the two main historical entry points of domestics
into the continent and Ethiopia is particularly important in this regard. Through the
analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) d-loop
region ...
Comparative in vitro efficacy of kefir produced from camel, goat, ewe and cow milk on Haemonchus contortus
One of the great challenges of veterinary parasitology is the search for alternative methods for
controlling gastrointestinal parasites in small ruminants. Milk kefir is a traditional source of
probiotic, with great ...
In vivo nematicidal potential of camel milk on Heligmosomoides polygyrus gastro-intestinal nematode of rodents
Following our previous findings on the in vitro anthelmintic effect of camel milk on Haemonchus
contortus, the current study aimed at investigating its in vivo effect. Investigations were carried out
using mice infected ...
Impact of grazing on soil, vegetation and ewe production performances in a semi-arid rangeland
Controlled grazing is considered a good management strategy to maintain or increase the live weight of livestock and to reduce vegetation degradation of rangelands. The present study investigated soil characteristics, ...
Polymorphisms in MC1R and ASIP Genes are Associated with Coat Color Variation in the Arabian Camel
Pigmentation in mammals is primarily determined by the distribution of eumelanin and
pheomelanin, the ratio of which is mostly controlled by the activity of melanocortin 1 receptor
(MC1R) and agouti signaling protein (ASIP) ...
