Mastitis, the inflammatory condition of mammary glands, has been closely associated with immune suppression and imbalances between antioxidants free radicals in cattle. During periparturient period, dairy cows experience negative energy balance (NEB) due to metabolic stress, leading elevated oxidative stress compromised immunity. The resulting abnormal regulation reactive oxygen species (ROS) nitrogen (RNS), along increased non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) are...
The growing recognition of the role milk-derived exosomes in metabolic and immunological processes has brought attention to potential utility donkey milk. However, efficacy bioactive components milk are underexplored. This study aimed elucidate proteomic profiles isolated from colostrum mature using advanced four-dimensional (4D) label-free quantitative proteomics. A comprehensive analysis identified quantified a total 2293 exosomal proteins milk, including 276 differentially expressed...
DNA methylation represents a predominant epigenetic modification with broad implications in various biological functions. Its role is particularly significant the process of collagen deposition, fundamental aspect dermal development donkeys. Despite its critical involvement, mechanistic insights into how influences deposition donkey skin remain limited. In this study, we employed whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and RNA (RNA-seq) to investigate landscape gene expression profiles...
Several studies have shown the association between ligand-dependent nuclear receptor compression-like protein (LCORL) gene and body size in horses, pigs donkeys. Based on previous studies, LCORL was hypothesized to be associated with growth traits hide weight Dezhou In this study, we aimed reveal variation of donkey explore whether is size. genetic polymorphisms were studied using targeted sequencing technology, single nucleotide (SNPs) analyzed for The results showed that there an SNP locus...
The intramuscular fat (IMF) content is considered an important factor for assessing meat quality, and highly related to flavor. However, in donkey meat, the influences of IMF on lipid volatile profiles remain unclear. Thus, we conducted lipidomic volatilomic investigations high- low-IMF samples from longissimus dorsi muscle. When level increased, monounsaturated fatty acid (especially oleic acid) significantly increased but saturated decreased (p < 0.05). Twenty-nine 876 lipids showed...
The Dezhou donkey, a prominent Chinese breed, is known for its remarkable size, rapid growth, and resilience to tough feeding conditions, disease resistance. These traits are crucial in meeting the growing demand Ejiao donkey meat. Yeast polysaccharide (YPS), functional complex immune-enhancing growth-promoting properties livestock poultry, remains relatively understudied donkeys.This study aimed investigate impact of YPS supplementation on lactating jennies foals.Twelve 45-day-old foals...
The gut microbiota plays an important role in the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients, as well immunity, health, behavior donkeys. While reference genomes microbial gene catalogs have been helpful understanding composition donkey, there is still a significant gap sequencing functional aspects donkey genomes. In this study, we analyzed metagenomic data from 26 donkeys’ samples successfully assembled 844 metagenome-assembled (MAGs). Surprisingly, 678 (80.33%) these MAGs appear...
Considerable evidence suggests that the skin microbiota is not only important and complex in humans other mammals but also critical for maintaining health homeostasis. To date, studies on microorganisms of donkeys are surprisingly rare. investigate dynamic changes commensal microbial communities skins healthy throughout growing period, soil samples were collected from 30 Dezhou (ranging 1, 6, 12, 24 to 48 months age) their corresponding breeding sheds farm. All analysed high-throughput...
The lipid molecules and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in milk are heavily influenced by diet. However, little is known about how roughage affects the VOC contents of donkey milk. Accordingly, present study, donkeys were fed corn straw (G1 group), wheat hulls (G2 or (G3 profiles their determined using LC-MS GC-MS. Of 1842 lipids identified milk, 153 found to be differential, including glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids. G1 group showed a greater variety content...
An increase in the number of vertebrae can significantly affect meat production performance livestock, thus increasing carcass weight, which is great importance for livestock production. The homeobox gene C8 (HOXC8) has been identified as an essential candidate regulating vertebral development. However, it not researched on Dezhou donkey. This study aimed to verify donkey HOXC8 gene's polymorphisms and assess their effects multiple numbers weight. In this study, entire was sequenced, SNPs at...
Abstract Background At present, donkey meat in the market shows an imbalance between supply and demand, there is urgent need to cultivate a meat-type Dezhou breed. On one hand, it can improve market, on other promote rapid development of industry. This study aimed reveal significant genetic variation NK1 homeobox 2 gene ( NKX1-2 ) donkeys investigate association genotype body size donkeys. Results In this study, SNP (g.54704925 A > G) was identified at exon4 by high-depth resequencing...
Variation in coat color among equids has attracted significant interest genetics and breeding research. The range of colors is primarily determined by the type, concentration, distribution melanin pigments, with balance between eumelanin pheomelanin influenced numerous genetic factors. Advances genomic sequencing technologies have enabled identification several candidate genes that influence color, thereby clarifying basis these diverse phenotypes. In this review, we concisely categorize...
