Associations between lipid metabolism and fertility in the dairy cow
DC Wathes, AM Clempson… - Reproduction, Fertility and …, 2012 - CSIRO Publishing
Dairy cows mobilise body tissues to support milk production and, because glucose supplies
are limited, lipids are used preferentially for energy production. Lipogenic activity is switched …

Genome-wide analysis of the world's sheep breeds reveals high levels of historic mixture and strong recent selection
Through their domestication and subsequent selection, sheep have been adapted to thrive
in a diverse range of environments. To characterise the genetic consequence of both …
