Simple Summary Nutrition affects all interactions of the body, especially the genome and the
expression of genes. All organisms are always feeding, and life is not possible without …

It has been shown that addition of fennel in the diets of domestic animals has positive and
beneficial effects on growth and meat production traits. Thus, the purpose of current study …

Different sheep breeds have evolved after initial domestication, generating various tail
phenotypic patterns. The phenotypic diversity of sheep tail patterns offers ideal materials for …

The purpose of this study is to survey the literature pertinent to some morphological traits
which are related with the production and reproduction of fat-tailed sheep breeds. The fat …

Background Identification of genomic regions that have been targets of selection for
phenotypic traits is one of the most important and challenging areas of research in animal …

Background The level of fat deposition in carcass is a crucial factor influencing meat quality.
Guangling Large-Tailed (GLT) and Small-Tailed Han (STH) sheep are important local …

Higher quality lamb carcasses with more muscle and less fat are crucial for consumer
preference and healthy eating. This study evaluated bile acids' functional roles and …

Chinese indigenous sheep can be classified into three types based on tail morphology: fat-
tailed, fat-rumped, and thin-tailed sheep, of which the typical breeds are large-tailed Han …

The aim of this study was to compare the meat quality of a traditional fat-tailed breed, Chall,
to a tailed Iranian sheep breed, Zel. Lambs were grazed on pasture until weaning, and then …

Recent studies in domestic animals have used RNA-seq to explore the transcriptome of
different tissues in a limited number of individuals. In the present study, de novo …
