Abstract Gamecock chickens are one of the earliest recorded birds in China, and have accumulated some unique morphological behavioral signatures such as large body size, muscularity aggressive behavior, whereby being excellent breeding materials a good model for studying bird muscular development behavior. In this study, we sequenced 126 chicken genomes from 19 populations, including four commercial breeds that commonly farmed 13 nationwide Chinese typical indigenous (including two gamecock...
In China, the low egg production rate is a major challenge to Muscovy duck farmers. Hypothalamus and ovary play essential role in of birds. However, there are little or no reports from these tissues identify potential candidate genes responsible for White ducks. A total 1,537 laying ducks were raised; traits which include age at first (days), number eggs 300 d, 59 wk recorded. Moreover, 4 lowest (LP) highest producing (HP) selected age, respectively. To understand mechanism regulation, we...
Coccidiosis is an economically significant protozoan disease and intracellular parasite that significantly impacts poultry production. The gastrointestinal tract microbiota plays a central role in host health metabolism, these microbes enhance chickens' immune systems nutrient absorption. In this study, we analyzed the abundance diversity of jejunum cecum dual-purpose indigenous Horro chicken following Eimeria maxima infection. We compared microbial abundance, composition, at 4- 7- days...
Improving grain yield potential in rice is an important step toward addressing global food security challenges. The meta
Abstract Background Due to rising costs, water shortages, and labour farmers across the globe now prefer a direct seeding approach. However, submergence stress remains major bottleneck limiting success of this approach in rice cultivation. The merger accumulated genetic resources provides an opportunity detect key genomic loci candidate genes that influence flooding tolerance rice. Results In present study, whole-genome meta-analysis was conducted on 120 quantitative trait (QTL) obtained...
Coccidiosis stands as a protozoan disease of notable economic impact, characterized by an intracellular parasite that exerts substantial influence over poultry production. This invasion disrupts the integrity enteric mucosa, leading to emergence severe lesions and diminishing efficiency feed utilization in chickens. MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, non-coding RNA molecules with approximately 21–24 nucleotides long size play essential roles various infectious diseases inflammatory responses....
The study is aimed to assess live weight and some morphometric traits serve as the basis for documentation utilization in improvement programme of locally-adapted ducks. This observed five phenotypic characteristics assessed weight, seven 200 adult domestic ducks (105 drakes 95 ducks) humid zone Nigeria between February August 2012. were plumage colour, shank eye incidence colour caruncle. included; body length, breast circumference, bill neck wing foot length. Data collected analysed using...
Abstract Alternative splicing (AS) disruption has been linked to disorders of muscle development, as well muscular atrophy. However, the precise changes in AS patterns that occur during myogenesis are not understood. Here, we employed isoform long‐reads RNA‐seq (Iso‐seq) and single‐cell (scRNA‐seq) investigate landscape myogenesis. Our Iso‐seq data identified 61,146 full‐length isoforms representing 11,682 expressed genes, which over 52% were novel. We 38,022 events, with most these events...
Genomic selection using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers is now intensively investigated in breeding and has been widely utilized for genetic improvement. Currently, several studies have used haplotype (consisting of multiallelic SNPs) genomic prediction revealed its performance advantage. In this study, we comprehensively evaluated the models 15 traits, including 6 growth, 5 carcass, 4 feeding traits a Chinese yellow-feathered chicken population. We adopted 3 methods to define...
Abstract Background Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) remain one of the deleterious disorders, which have affected several animal species. Polymorphism prion protein ( PRNP ) gene majorly determines susceptibility animals to TSEs. However, only limited studies examined variation in different Nigerian livestock Thus, this study aimed identify polymorphism species (including camel, dog, horse, goat, and sheep). We sequenced open reading frame (ORF)...
High ambient temperature is a major environmental stressor affecting poultry production, especially in the tropical and subtropical regions of world. Nutritional interventions have been adopted to combat thermal stress poultry, including use amino acids. L-citrulline nonessential acid that involved nitric oxide generation thermoregulation, however, molecular mechanisms behind L-citrulline's regulation body are still unascertained. This study investigated global gene expression hypothalamus...
The study was conducted to assess the chemical composition of alkali treated groundnut shells and their effects on growth serum biochemical parameters in Yankasa rams. A total 4 rams where used conduct experiment a 4×4 Latin square design. Four diets (14% crude protein) were formulated contain untreated shell (UTGNS), urea (UGNS), lime (LGNS) urea-lime (ULGNS). Growth blood measured at end each period. Samples experimental analysed for proximate analysis, neutral detergent fibre, acid fibre...

The domestic Muscovy duck ( Cairina moschata ) provide unique genetic resources patterned by both tropical environmental conditions and human activities, the evaluation of their diversity population structure will shade light on mechanism remarkable adaptive capacities. We therefore analyzed variation in mtDNA cytochrome b nuclear DNA CYP2U1 sequences 378 Nigerian ducks (comprising 287 de novo 91 downloaded) plus 80 published from India. results showed high haplotype (0.800 ± 0.023) among...
