Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparative Physiological and Molecular Study of Some Sheep Breeds in Saudi ArabiaMohammad S. AL-Harbi, Hamed S. Alwagdany, Sayed A.M. AmerNaemi, Heri, Najdi and Sawakni sheep breeds inhabiting Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were studied on both physiological and molecular bases. Native polyacrylamide gel-electrophoreses for two enzymes Malate Dehydrogenase (Mdh) and Malic Enzyme (Me) recorded 5 isoenzyme loci from which 4 were polymorphic and 1 was monomorphic. Mdh showed three fractions, the first was recorded in Sawakni and Najdi breeds, the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 8,388 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy and Identification of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Gene Polymorphisms in Zel Sheep PopulationSeyed Mohsen Kazemi, Cyrus Amirinia, Hossein Emrani, Shahaboddin GharahveysiProblem statement: The IGFs play an important role in regulating somatic growth according to nutritional conditions. Polymorphisms of IGF gene are reported to be significantly associated with many traits. Approach: In these study 142 samples of DNA from Zel sheep were used for detecting the polymorphisms of promoter region of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) gene. Therefore DNA extracted from … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 13 Jan 2012 · 7,739 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMountain Sheep: An Environmental Epidemiological Survey of Variation in Metal Exposure and Physiological Biomarkers Following Mine DevelopmentLawrence K. Duffy, Michael W. Oehler, R. Terry Bowyer, Vernon C. BleichProblem Statement: Anthropogenic activities, such as mining and industrial operations, are a major environmental source of metal exposure for wildlife. Quantitative data regarding biochemical effects of exposure to mineral extraction on mountain sheep, Ovis canadensis, are limited, although their habitats are becoming increasingly affected by expanded resource development. Decisions relating to environmental protection and wildlife conservation should be based on … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,654 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGenomic Regions and Candidate Genes Associated With Semen Traits in Rams: A Systematic GWAS Review With Implications for South African Sheep BreedsNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Khoboso Christine LehloenyaRam fertility is a key determinant of reproductive efficiency in sheep production systems, particularly under extensive and semi-extensive conditions prevalent in South Africa. Semen quality traits, including ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, motility, and cryotolerance, exhibit measurable genetic variation and are increasingly investigated using genomic approaches. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from three eligible Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) analyses that have … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2026 · 50 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSemen Quality and Artificial Insemination Efficacy Using Sericin-Silica-Phosphate-CuO Hydrogel in Thin-tailed SheepEnike Dwi Kusumawati, I Wayan Karyasa, Duran Corebima Aloysius et al.Artificial Insemination (AI) in livestock is increasingly demanded because it greatly affects the productivity and quality of livestock. AI should be supported by advanced material chemistry, especially organic-inorganic hybrid biomaterials. We aimed to produce a prototype of renewable advanced biomaterial technology in the form of Sericin-Silica-Phosphate (SER-SI-PO) hydrogel reinforced with Copper Nanoparticles (CuNPs) and its application in AI.
