Environmental heat stress is a major concern in livestock production especially in water buffalo, which are more sensitive to heat stress. Buffalo bulls experiencing heat stress exhibit reduced feed intake and semen production, triggering stress responses at multiple levels. This comprehensive study delves into the understanding of the complex nature of heat stress responses in Murrah bulls through gene expression analysis.

Understanding the molecular processes underlying lactation is crucial for improving milk quality and production in goats. However, the genetic mechanisms governing lactation in goats, particularly in indigenous breeds like the Jakhrana, remain largely unexplored.

- - The study investigates the genome sequences of three Indian yak populations and compares them with the Jinchuan yak from China, highlighting the uniqueness and adaptability of Indian yaks in extreme climates.
- - Researchers found 37,437 runs of homozygosity (ROH) across four yak populations, with the Chinese yaks showing higher inbreeding rates, while Indian yaks exhibited more stable and lower inbreeding levels.
- - Five genetic hotspots linked to critical traits for survival, such as hair growth and nutrient response, were identified, suggesting strong natural selection for these traits in adapting to environmental challenges.
