Effects of Environmental Stressors on Livestock

This study examines how environmental gradients influence phenotypic adaptation in Muscovy ducks across Benin's agroecological zones, providing evidence for climate-responsive livestock policy.

This study examines gene expression dynamics in pigs during heat stress, identifying distinct transcriptional responses in short-term and long-term acclimation phases.

This study identifies heat stress-induced DNA hypomethylation in dairy cows' blood methylome, affecting immune-related regulatory regions and genes.

The paper investigates the genetic and heat-stress environmental influences on gene expression in pigs, identifying differentially expressed genes, eQTLs, and candidate genes for traits like backfat thickness.

This study identifies genomic adaptation mechanisms in Ethiopian zebu cattle to arid and hot-humid climates through whole-genome sequencing and selection scans.

This paper quantifies heat stress impact on dairy cattle using a novel pipeline and identifies causal genomic regions associated with heat tolerance traits.

This study finds that 8 hours of fasting under heat stress improves growth, meat quality, and gut health in broiler chickens compared to non-fasted heat-stressed birds.

This study identifies transcriptomic changes in bovine mammary epithelial cells under heat stress and during recovery, revealing gene expression patterns related to differentiation, heat shock response, and recovery mechanisms.

This study establishes a mouse model of heat-humidity stress during pregnancy and shows its cumulative teratogenic effects on embryonic development, leading to higher embryonic deaths and malformations.

This study examines the geographic distribution of a KRT38 missense mutation in Chinese cattle and links it to heat tolerance based on climate data.

This study identifies 17 SNPs associated with heat stress tolerance in Chinese Holstein cattle using GWAS, highlighting PDZRN4 and PRKG1 as potential candidates.

The paper identifies fecal microbiota associated with heat stress in cattle using 16S rRNA sequencing and statistical analysis.

The paper detects and identifies twelve genetic variant groups of the HSP-70 gene in four Nigerian Zebu cattle breeds using qRT-PCR and HRMA.
