the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of antioxidants (vitamin e, β- mercaptoethanol and their combination) to semen extender.  progressive motility, viability and ph of fresh ram semen were examined. ejaculate samples were collected with artificial vagina from three ghezel-merinose rams (3 years old) during non- breeding reproduction season. semen was diluted with a...

β-lactoglobulin (BLG), a dominant allergen in goat milk, is difficult to remove by traditional biochemical methods. Its elimination from goat milk by genetic modification therefore poses a major challenge for modern goat breeders. A shRNA targeting BLG mRNA with high interference efficiency was identified, with which lentiviral vectors were used for mediating stable shRNA interference in goat-f...

To investigate the genetic diversity of seven Chinese indigenous meat goat breeds (Tibet goat, Guizhou white goat, Shannan white goat, Yichang white goat, Matou goat, Changjiangsanjiaozhou white goat and Anhui white goat), explain their genetic relationship and assess their integrity and degree of admixture, 302 individuals from these breeds and 42 Boer goats introduced from Africa as reference...

This study examines the role of non-synthetic buffers from watermelon and papaya juice added to coconut water diluent on liquid semen quality Kacang goats during cold storage at 5oC for three months. An experimental method was used in which a 2.5-year-old male collected twice week using an artificial vagina. The primary ingredients include young water, Viridis, watermelon, papaya, NaHCO3, Egg Y...

When the livestock sector is considered an essential role in farmers' livelihood, and local breeds are still critical component of animal breeding Laos. Thus, there a need to review previous, current situation prospects for Laos' production. It aimed study different traits among existing dominant improved (cattle, pig, goat) more in-depth on sector's previous evolving prospects. Our findings re...
