Article Synopsis
- Ladakhi cattle have developed unique genetic adaptations that allow them to survive in extreme high-altitude conditions, such as low oxygen and extreme cold.
- The study involved whole genome sequencing and various genomic analyses to explore the cattle's genetic structure and adaptation mechanisms.
- Key findings indicate a distinct genetic cluster with significant ancestry from both Bos indicus and Bos taurus, highlighting specific genes associated with hypoxia response, cold adaptation, and energy metabolism.
Rearing of indigenous Tharparkar (TP) cows (native of arid Thar deserts) under high humid conditions (>75 % humidity) has increased the incidence of mammary infections in them. A study was undertaken to see the number, activity, and expression of milk neutrophils isolated from healthy and mastitic cows. There was a significant (P < 0.
