The hypothalamus (hyp) serves as the regulatory hub of the neuroendocrine system, synthesizing and secreting reproductive hormones that modulate estrus, follicular maturation, and embryonic development in goats. This study employed RNA-seq analysis t...

The harsh conditions of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau pose significant physiological challenges to local fauna, often resulting in gastrointestinal disorders. However, Tibetan pigs have exhibited remarkable adaptability to the high-altitude stress...

Mammalian spermatogenesis is a complex biological process that is regulated by multiple types of cells. The heterogeneity of these cells poses a challenge for analyzing different cell types at different developmental stages. To characterize the trans...

Laying hens’ metabolism goes through a cyclic process to produce eggs, which requires higher dietary protein and energy in the morning (AM) and higher calcium (Ca) in the afternoon/evening (PM) than the rest of the day. Therefore, poultry scien...

Bedding is an important component of equine accommodation management. Choosing the right bedding is important for stable management and its selection may include considerations such as the sourcing of the material, the capital investment and ongoing...

Feeding HC diets has been found to induce metabolic dysregulation in the colon. However, the mechanisms by which changes in colonic flora and metabolites damage the colonic epithelium are poorly studied. Therefore, the present experiment used a multi...

The gut microbiota plays a vital role in the physiological functions and health of animals. Domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) and wild boars (Sus scrofa scrofa), which share a common ancestor, present a unique model for exploring the evolutionary...

Yellow seabream (Acanthopagrus latus), a species of significant economic importance, predominantly inhabits the warm waters of the Indo-Western Pacific. While previous studies have explored the genetic diversity of A. latus using microsatellites and...

Herbivorous livestock, such as cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and donkeys, play a crucial role in agricultural production and possess remarkable resilience to extreme environmental conditions, driven by complex genetic mechanisms. Recent advancements...

Respiratory compliance reflects the ability of the lungs and chest wall to expand in response to increases in pressure. In this review, relevant studies were selected through a comprehensive literature search with the aim of summarizing and generaliz...
