Analysing the genetic diversity of three sheep breeds in Turkey and nearby countries using 50 K SNPs data
This study analysed the genetic diversity and population structure of eight sheep breeds in Turkey and nearby countries. Moderate genetic diversity was observed, with the Sakiz (SKZ) exhibiting the highest diversity based on heterozygosity and allelic richness (AR) values. Genetic distances revealed differentiation between the populations, with the most significant divergence between the Cyprus Fat Tail (CFT) and SKZ breeds. PCA demonstrated SKZ and Chios (CHI) clustering together, indicating genetic similarity. Karakas (KRS), Norduz (NDZ), Afshari (AFS), Moghani (MOG) and others showed overlap, reflecting genetic relation...

Prevalence and molecular characterization of multi-resistant < em > Escherichia coli < /em > isolates from clinical bovine mastitis in China
This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and molecular characteristics of resistance determinants in E. coli strains (n = 105) obtained from lactating cows with clinical bovine mastitis (CBM) in China. A total of 220 cows with clinical mastitis, which has swollen mammary udder with reduced and red or gangrenous milk, were selected from 5000 cows. The results showed 94.3% of the isolates were recognized as multidrug resistant. The isolates (30.5%) were positive for the class I integrase gene along with seven gene cassettes that were accountable for resistance to trimethoprim resistance (dfrA17, dfr2d and dfrA1), amino...

Biochemical properties of sheep colostrum and its potential benefits for lamb survival: a review
Anim Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 4:2320726. doi: 10.1080/10495398.2024.2320726. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTColostrum is the initial secretion of the mammary glands following parturition, which offers main food, protection, and biological active substances for the new born. The most threatening episode of neonate's life is the initial two weeks after birth. This period is associated with high neonatal mortality and morbidity. These worthwhile losses lead to a poor prolificacy rate, low profitability, and ultimately poor performance in animal production. Hence, both diseases and mortality cause valuable losses in terms of produc...

Weighted single step GWAS reveals genomic regions associated with economic traits in Murrah buffaloes
In this study, 105 genomic regions were associated with growth, 35 genomic regions with production and 42 window regions with reproduction traits. Different candidate genes were identified in these genomic regions, of which important are OSBPL8, NAP1L1 for growth, CNTNAP2 for production and ILDR2, TADA1 and POGK for reproduction traits.PMID:38437001 | DOI:10.1080/10495398.2024.2319622 (Source: Animal Biotechnology)
