Background Automatic and continuous recording of vaginal temperature (TV) using
wearable sensors causes minimal disruptions to animal behavior and can generate data …

The silvopasture is a sustainable livestock system, which has great potential for sheep,
mainly focused on the thermal comfort and welfare of animals. However, there is a lack of …

Heat stress is associated with increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and
disruption of bovine oocyte function. Here, we examined whether the antioxidant melatonin …

Thermotolerance has become an essential factor in the prevention of the adverse effects of
heat stress, but it varies among animals. Identifying genes related to heat adaptability traits …

Environmental heat stress triggers a series of compensatory mechanisms in sheep that are
dependent on their genetic regulation of thermotolerance. Our objective was to identify …

Physiological and immunological responses of small ruminants are affected by heat stress in
the attempt to recover animals' thermal and cellular homeostasis. This review will report …

Simple Summary In this study, we measured the performance parameters of two crossbred
sheep breeds, using Masson staining of the muscle tissue, and using the Illumina high …

Introduction Undernutrition spontaneously occurs in ewes during late gestation and the
pituitary is an important hinge in the neurohumoral regulatory system. However, little is …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of heat stress (HS) on growth performance,
carcase characteristics and rumen-muscle axis of Hu sheep and to explore the underlying …

This study aimed to identify genes related to sheep growth, development and meat quality.
