To investigate the incidence of urolithiasis in finishing sheep in Shanxi province and select the best diagnostic and treatment methods, in this study, the incidence statistics of 44 400 sheep from 31 finishing sheep farms in Taiyuan, Jinzhong, Datong, Shuozhou, Yuncheng, and Changzhi of Shanxi...

To investigate the polymorphism of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 gene (GRM1) in sheep and its effect on meat quality traits, with a view to providing effective genetic molecular markers for the breeding of sheep for meat performance. The GRM1 gene was sequenced in 91 sheep from three sheep...

The purpose of this experiment was to use high-throughput sequencing method to study the differences in the structure of rumen microflora of Hu sheep and Karakul sheep fed the same diet. In the experiment, six healthy Karakul sheep and six Hu sheep with similar body weight[(35±2) kg] were selected...

This experiment took non-pregnant Hu sheep and small-tailed Han sheep as the research objects, and analyzed the differences between their growth performance, rumen environment parameters and rumen microflora under grazing conditions of sainfoin stubble, with the aim of accumulating data for the...

Tedera is a valuable high-quality forage for sheep during summer-autumn. There is evidence that prior grazing experience of novel forages influences preference and haymaking of tedera improves preference by goats. In the first experiment, it was hypothesised that the voluntary feed intake (VFI) of...

Tibetan sheep are one of the three major coarse sheep breeds in China, and they possess a long history of formation. However, few studies have been conducted on the identification of Tibetan sheep breeds at the molecular level. In this study, a total of 448 individuals from 24 Tibetan sheep...

[Objective] Cloning and bioinformatics analysis of Bone morphogenetic protein receptor II (BMPRII) gene were carried out, and its expression differences in different tissues of Tibetan sheep were detected, which provided a reference for Undying the biological function of 831PRII gene in Tibetan ...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate whether the production mode of Suffolk×valley-type Tibetan sheep is suitable for high-cold and high-altitude pasture areas by comparing the slaughter performance and meat quality of valley-type Tibetan sheep and Suffolk×valley-type Tibetan sheep under...

The aim of this research was to identify the impact of hypodynamics on the particularities of the interior of Karakul sheep, raised in different conditions of maintenance. The research was conducted on three similar batches of Karakul sheep, 150 heads in each batch. They were raised in different...

To study the nutritional value of black Tibetan sheep bone, the humerus of black Tibetan sheep from Qinghai province was collected for analysis. The hardness, moisture content, ash, crude fat, crude protein, polypeptide content, and composition and content of free amino acids and fatty acids of...
