DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2017.03.009
Abstract: Cattle populations in semiarid rangelands are currently facing severe threats due to erratic rainfall and increasing drought frequencies, leading to poor vegetation quality and a consecutive cattle population decline. However, little is known about how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10495398.2023.2176867
Abstract: Bovine prolactin (PRL) gene is essential for the initiation and maintenance of lactation and exerts multiple effects on mammary alveoli to promote the synthesis and secretion of major components of milk. The objectives of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/tan.14976
Abstract: The classical MHC class I and class II molecules play key roles in determining the antigenic‐specificity of CD8+ and CD4+ T‐cell responses—as such characterisation of the repertoire of MHCI and MHCII allelic diversity is fundamental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-020-07270-x
Abstract: Background Humpless Bos taurus cattle are one of the earliest domestic cattle in Africa, followed by the arrival of humped Bos indicus cattle. The diverse indigenous cattle breeds of Africa are derived from these migrations,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0271718
Abstract: Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are continuous homozygous segments from the common ancestor of parents. Evaluating ROH pattern can help to understand inbreeding level and genetic basis of important traits. In this study, three representative cattle… read more here.
