Environment rather than breed or body site shapes the skin bacterial community of healthy sheep as revealed by metabarcoding
Christof Holliger, Alexander Mathis, Emmanuelle Rohrbach, Laetitia Janine Andrée Cardona
Background: The skin is inhabited by a variety of micro-organisms, with bacteria representing the predominant taxon of the skin microbiome. In sheep, the skin bacterial community of healthy animals has been addressed in few studies, only with culture-based ...
2023Performance of traditional nomadic yurts for living in extremes
Dolaana Khovalyg, Arnab Chatterjee
A round felt yurt is a traditional dwelling of Central Asian nomads that have survived over 2000 years. The structure and the use of the yurt have not changed over the centuries, making it a nomadic civilization's masterpiece. It has not lost its relevance ...
2021Multi locus genotypic data reveal high genetic diversity and low genetic structure of Iranian sheep
Iranian livestock diversity is still largely unexplored, in spite of the interest in the populations historically reared in this country located near the Fertile Crescent, a major livestock domestication centre. In this investigation, the genetic diversity ...
Wiley-Blackwell2016Optimizing Carbon Storage Within a Spatially Heterogeneous Upland Grassland Through Sheep Grazing Management
Livestock grazing is known to influence carbon (C) storage in vegetation and soil. Yet, for grazing management to be used to optimize C storage, large scale investigations that take into account the typically heterogeneous distribution of grazers and C acr ...
Springer2014Genome-wide patterns of adaptation to climate-mediated selective pressures in sheep
Sheep (Ovis aries) have been well adapted to thrive in a diverse range of climates during the domestication and breed development process. These climate-mediated selective pressures have shown to influence phenotypic variation within and among breeds and, ...
2014High-field diffusion tensor imaging characterization of cerebral white matter injury in lipopolysaccharide-exposed fetal sheep
Yohan Van de Looij, François Lazeyras
BACKGROUND: In gyrencephalic species such as sheep, precise anatomical and microstructural characterization of the consequences of fetal inflammation remains scarce. The goal of this study was to characterize changes in white matter (WM) structure using ad ...
Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins2012Genetic diversity in farm animals - a review
Domestication of livestock species and a long history of migrations, selection and adaptation have created an enormous variety of breeds. Conservation of these genetic resources relies on demographic characterization, recording of production environments a ...
Wiley-Blackwell2010Atrial Repolarization Alternans in a Chronic Sheep Model of Pacing-Induced Atrial Fibrillation
Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot
In pacing-induced models of atrial fibrillation (AF) that mimic atrial high-frequency foci, the increase in AF susceptibility over time is not paralleled by any increase in dispersion of repolarization (DOR). Measurements of effective refractory periods (E ...
