Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnsuring improved leg health is an important prerequisite for broilers to achieve optimal production performance and welfare status. Broiler leg disease is characterized by leg muscle weakness, leg bone deformation, joint cysts, arthritis, femoral head necrosis, and other symptoms that result in lameness or paralysis. These conditions significantly affect movement, feeding and broiler growth performance. Nowadays, the high incidence of leg abnormalities in broiler chickens has become an important issue that hampers the deve...

Preliminary investigation reveals novel pathological consequences of bluetongue virus-1 infection in the endocrine glands of pregnant Indian sheep
Anim Biotechnol. 2023 Oct 18:1-13. doi: 10.1080/10495398.2023.2269428. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBluetongue virus (BTV), a major peril to the sheep industry, infects a wide range of the cells in the infected animals including mononuclear, dendritic and epithelial cells. However, little is known about its tropism for the secretory epithelial cells of endocrine glands and the pathogenesis it induces. The aim of the study was to assess the BTV load, antigen distribution in the tissue of the pituitary, thyroid as well as adrenal glands and associated histopathological consequences. BTV antigens were localized using immunoh...

Tracing the genetic footprints: India's role as a gateway for pig migration and domestication across continents
This study explored the maternal genetic diversity in the pig genetic resources of India by analyzing a mitochondrial D-loop fragment and comparing it with the corresponding sequences of previously published studies involving domestic pigs and wild boars. Sequencing of 103 samples representing different domestic pig populations revealed existence of 32 maternal haplotypes. The indices of haplotype and nucleotide diversity in Indian domestic pigs were 0.9421 and 0.015, respectively. Median-Joining network revealed that Indian pigs belong to Clade A and show conformity to 6 haplogroups reported worldwide (D1a, D1a1, D1a2, D1...

Effects of gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone on testicular development and reproduction-related gene expression in roosters
In conclusion, we found that exogenous GnIH treatment inhibited testicular development, reduces PRL gene expression, and suppressed reproductive performance in roosters. Conversely, GnIH immunization down-regulated VIP and PRL genes, activates the reproductive system, and promotes the reproductive activity and testicular development of roosters.PMID:37842944 | DOI:10.1080/10495398.2023.2266645 (Source: Animal Biotechnology)

Met stimulates ARID1A degradation and activation of the PI3K-SREBP1 signaling to promote milk fat synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells
In this report, we aim to explore the role and molecular mechanism of AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) in milk fat synthesis stimulated by Met. ARID1A knockdown and activation indicated that ARID1A negatively regulated the synthesis of triglycerides, cholesterol and free fatty acids and the formation of lipid droplets in BMECs. ARID1A also negatively regulated the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT proteins, as well as the expression and maturation of SREBP1. Met stimulated the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT proteins, as well as the expression and maturation of SREBP1, while ARID1A gene activation blocked the stimulato...

Growth, sex reversal pattern, and reproductive characteristics of Barramundi ( < em > Lates calcarifer < /em > ) broodstock candidates reared in floating cages
Anim Biotechnol. 2023 Oct 13:1-9. doi: 10.1080/10495398.2023.2267621. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSex reversal of male to female is a characteristic of barramundi (Lates calcarifer), which is affected by several factors, thereby changing the broodstock population. A study was conducted in floating cages in Langkawi, Malaysia, to determine the weight point at the onset of the sex reversal phenomena. A total of 75 female and 55 male adult individuals (3-4 weeks of age) were sampled from the fish cultured in cages to ascertain their sex at different weights. The water temperature and salinity values were 29.82 °C and 33.12...

The variation in the beta-casein genotypes and its effect on milk yield and genomic values in Holstein-Friesian cows
Anim Biotechnol. 2023 Oct 13:1-10. doi: 10.1080/10495398.2023.2267614. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe A2 milk marker is gaining popularity worldwide; thus, many farms plan to convert their dairy cattle herds to the A2A2 genotype. Variation in beta-casein genotypes needs to be monitored in large dairy cattle populations. Therefore we aimed to evaluate the genotypic distributions, population genetics, and diversity parameters in Holstein-Friesian cows. A total of 1200 cattle were genotyped using the Affymetrix® Axiom® array system. We performed an association analysis regarding the CSN2 genotypes and phenotypic traits, ...
