Effects of feed intake and genetics on tissue nitrogen-15 enrichment and feed conversion efficiency in sheep

Cheng, Paul; Logan, Christopher M.; Dewhurst, Richard J.; Hodge, Simon; Zhou, Huitong; Edwards, Grant (Oxford University Press on behalf of the American Society of Animal Science, 2015-12-01)

This study investigated the effects of sheep genetics and feed intake on nitrogen isotopic fractionation (Δ15N) and feed conversion efficiency (FCE; live weight gain/DMI), using a 2 × 2 factorial design, with 2 levels of ...

Variation in the bovine FABP₄ gene affects milk yield and milk protein content in dairy cows

Zhou, Huitong; Cheng, Paul; Azimu, W.; Hodge, Simon; Edwards, Grant; Hickford, Jonathan G. H. (Scientific Reports, 2015-06-12)

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) bind long-chain fatty acids and are involved in their intracellular transport. Of the known bovine FABP genes, FABP₄ has been mapped to a region on chromosome 14 that contains quantitative ...
