research Effect of immunization against melatonin on seasonal fleece growth in feral goats
Immunizing goats against melatonin can temporarily change their cashmere growth cycles and increase fleece production.
research Effects of melatonin administration to cashmere goats on cashmere production and hair follicle characteristics in two consecutive cashmere growth cycles
Melatonin improved cashmere production in goats during the first cycle but had no lasting effects on the next cycle.
research Ectopic expression of FGF5s induces wool growth in Chinese merino sheep
Overexpression of FGF5s makes Chinese Merino sheep grow longer and heavier wool.
research CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated loss of FGF5 function increases wool staple length in sheep
Disabling the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to longer wool.
research Identification of the KAP27-1 gene in sheep and its effect on wool traits
The KRTAP27-1 gene variations in sheep may affect wool length and weight.
research Fleece traits and important physical properties of hair fibers in lori goats.
Adding bentonite clays to goat diets increased milk yield, periwinkle shell improved chicken egg production, and vaccination increased muscle area and carcass yield in calves.
research Productivity of Australian cashmere goats grazing Pangola grass pastures and supplemented with untreated and formaldehyde treated protein meals
Protein supplements helped goats maintain weight and increased fleece growth, but not cashmere growth.
research Ovine KRT81 Variants and Their Influence on Selected Wool Traits of Commercial Value
KRT81 gene variations in sheep affect wool weight but not fiber length or thickness.
research Transcriptome Analysis of Improved Wool Production in Skin-Specific Transgenic Sheep Overexpressing Ovine β-Catenin
Genetically modified sheep with more β-catenin grew more wool without changing the wool's length or thickness.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits
The KRTAP21-1 gene affects wool yield and can help improve wool production.
research Polymorphism of keratin-associated protein (KAP) 7 gene and its association with wool traits in Rambouillet sheep
The KAP 7 gene affects wool traits in Rambouillet sheep, with the BB genotype showing the best wool characteristics.
research Variation in the Exon 3–4 Region of Ovine KRT85 and Its Effect on Wool Traits
KRT85 gene variations can help improve wool traits in sheep through selective breeding.
research Microflora and grease fleece of normal and felted wool sheep of Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain breed
Felted wool in these sheep has more sweat and bacteria, altering its fatty acids and making it more prone to felting.
research Label-free proteomics to identify keratins and keratin-associated proteins and their effects on the fleece traits of Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
Proteins influence the quality and traits of cashmere goat fleece, affecting hair strength and diameter.
research Hair follicle characteristics and fibre production in South American camelids
South American camelids should be sheared early, fleece type affects fiber quality, and the S/P follicle ratio doesn't distinguish between Bolivian llama genotypes.
research Some Tensile Properties of Specialty Hair Fibers
Animal hair fibers like wool and mohair are strong when dry, but vicuna fibers are very brittle.
research Identification of key pathways and genes that regulate cashmere development in cashmere goats mediated by exogenous melatonin
Melatonin affects cashmere growth in goats by influencing stem cell and certain signaling pathways.
research Machine learning driven multi-omics analysis of the genetic mechanisms behind the double-coat fleece formation in Hetian sheep
Key genes IRF2BP2 and EGFR are linked to Hetian sheep's double-coat fleece.
research Effect of Fasted Live-Weight Gain during the Cashmere Non-Growing Period on Cashmere Production Performance and Secondary Hair Follicle Activity of Cashmere Goats
Feeding goats more during the non-growing period increases cashmere yield and length.
research Transcriptome Profile at Different Physiological Stages Reveals Potential Mode for Curly Fleece in Chinese Tan Sheep
Genetic differences between young and old Tan sheep explain why their fleece changes from curly to straight as they age.
research Seasonal Variability in Transcript Expression of Type I and Type II Keratins in Wool Follicles of Lustrous Fleece-Producing Magra Sheep
Higher keratin protein levels are important for the wool's shine in Magra sheep.
research Association of the KAP 8.1 Gene Polymorphisms with Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goats
KAP8.1 gene variations affect cashmere weight in Inner Mongolian goats.
research Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Fetal Skin Reveals Key Genes Related to Hair Follicle Morphogenesis in Cashmere Goats
Key genes and pathways crucial for hair follicle development in cashmere goats were identified, aiding fleece production improvement.
research Hair coat characteristics in Friesian heifers in the Netherlands and Kenya : experimental data and a review of literature
Friesian heifers take about 18 months to adapt to Kenya's climate, with hair changes not strongly linked to weight gain.
research Correlation Analysis of CXCL10, FOS, HOXC13, and WNT4 Gene Polymorphisms with Key Economic Traits—Initial Population Screening for Jiangnan Cashmere Goats
Certain gene variations in Jiangnan cashmere goats are linked to important traits like birth weight and fiber quality, useful for breeding.
research Supplementary Feeding of Grazing Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goats during Pregnancy—Based on “Nutrient Requirements of Cashmere Goats”
Supplementary feeding improves cashmere yield, goat weight, and kid birth weight.
research A comparison of transcriptomic patterns measured in the skin of Chinese fine and coarse wool sheep breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
research Influence of feed restriction on the wool proteome: A combined iTRAQ and fiber structural study
Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.
research Effect of the Polymorphisms of Keratin Associated Protein 8.2 Gene on Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
KAP8.2 gene variations affect cashmere quality in goats.
