TL;DR: It was found that the lamb oocytes matured in medium supplemented with 20% or 30% adult FF from FSH-stimulated ewes yielded significantly higher blastocyst rates than that from the control medium, or medium supplemented from abattoir-derived ovaries or 20% lamb FF, suggesting that supplementing IVM medium with adult FF has beneficial roles on the developmental competence of prepubertal lamb Oocytes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the developmental competence of prepubertal oocytes can be improved by supplementing IVM medium with relevant agents like sericin and cytokines.

TL;DR: It was concluded that both HSD17B1 and MSTRG.28645 were critical regulators in the secretion of hormones that affect the fecundity of the sheep.

TL;DR: In this article , the underlying genetic basis for denser and finer wool phenotype in fine-wool breeds was clarified using whole-genome sequences of 140 samples, Ovine HD630K SNP array data of 385 samples, including fine, semi-fine, and coarse wool sheep, as well as skin transcriptomes of nine samples were integrated for genomic selection signature analysis.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effects of short photoperiod treatment on cashmere growth, hormone concentrations and hair follicle development-related gene expression in Shannbei white cashmere goats.
