In this study, we examined the effect of xylooligosaccharide (XOS) supplementation on the growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of Hu lambs. In total, 60 Hu lambs (two months old and weighing 17.32 ± 0.

However, limited research exists on the meat quality of Duhu lambs under both grazing and indoor feeding systems. This study examined how grazing and indoor feeding affect the nutritional quality, flavor, amino acid profile, and fatty acid composition of 7-month-old Duhu lamb meat.

- The study focused on the expression of miRNA-375 in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis of female Hu sheep, involving cloning its precursor sequence and comparing it to data in various species.
- It used real-time PCR to measure the levels of miR-375 in various tissues, finding that its expression was highest in the pineal gland compared to other reproductive and brain tissues.
- The research identified that miR-375 is connected to multiple biological processes and pathways, particularly the Hippo and Wnt pathways, suggesting it plays a key role in regulating sheep reproduction.
