The objective of this study was to examine if diets differing in crude protein (CP) to metabolizable energy (ME) ratio (CP:ME) pre-weaning altered peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) measures of bone mass and strength in lambs. The left hind leg of lambs were available at the completion of a trial designed to examine the effect that altering the CP:ME ratio in milk replacer had on growth and body composition of pre-weaned lambs reared artificially. Treatments consisted of either normal commercial milk replacer (CMR, n = 10) containing 240 g/kg CP and 21.89 MJ/kg ME, high protein milk replacer (HPM, n = 9) containing CMR with additional milk protein concentrate to reach 478.7 g/kg CP and 19.15 MJ/kg ME or a mix of normal milk replacer and milk protein concentrate adjusted twice-weekly to match optimal CP:ME requirements (MB, n = 8) based on maintenance plus 300 g/d liveweight gain. At 22 kg live weight, lambs were euthanized and the tibia including the surrounding muscle was collected and scanned using pQCT at the mid-diaphysis. Lambs on the HPM and MB diets had a greater average daily gain (p < 0.01). There were limited differences in bone morphology and muscle mass, though notably the higher protein diets (MB and HPM) were associated with greater cortical thickness (p < 0.05) and, therefore, potentially greater peak bone mass at maturity This finding demonstrates that pre-weaning diets, and the protein content in particular, may influence the developmental potential of long bones and attainment of peak bone mass at maturity.
本研究的目的是研究断奶前饲粮粗蛋白质(CP)与代谢能(ME)比(CP:ME)的差异是否会改变羔羊周围定量计算机断层扫描(pQCT)测量的骨量和强度。在试验结束后，羔羊的左后腿可获得，该试验旨在研究改变代乳剂中CP:ME比对人工饲养的预断奶羔羊生长和体成分的影响。处理包括含有240 g/kg粗蛋白质和21.89 MJ/kg代谢能的普通代乳(CMR, n = 10)、含有含有额外乳蛋白浓缩物的CMR (HPM, n = 9)，以达到478.7 g/kg粗蛋白质和19.15 MJ/kg代谢能，或每周调整两次的普通代乳和乳蛋白浓缩物的混合物，以匹配基于维持和300 g/d活重增加的最佳CP:ME需求(MB, n = 8)。活重22公斤时，对羔羊实施安乐死，收集包括周围肌肉在内的胫骨，并使用pQCT在中骨干处进行扫描。HPM和MB组羔羊平均日增重显著高于对照组(p < 0.01)。尽管高蛋白质饲粮(MB和HPM)与更大的皮质厚度相关(p < 0.05)，但骨形态和肌肉质量的差异有限，因此，成熟时可能出现更高的峰值骨量。这一发现表明，断奶前的饲粮，尤其是蛋白质含量，可能影响长骨的发育潜力和成熟时骨量峰值的实现。

This study was focused on identifying the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located on an entire region of the let-7c miRNA gene with consideration of its ability to promote litter size in Markhoz goats. The Markhoz goat, the native breed in Iran, is important for its reproductive traits, such as litter size. DNA polymorphism of let-7c miRNA gene was revealed and considered for further studies for its effect on litter size in Markhoz goats. PCR-SSCP analysis investigated different band patterns for this miRNA; however, sequencing results have detected only an A to T substitution located five nucleotides downstream of the let-7c miRNA gene. The chi-squared test showed that the let-7c miRNA gene locus was out of the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) and has significant effect (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the least-square analysis indicated that the let-7c miRNA gene does not affect prolificacy in the Markhoz goat (p > 0.05). In sum, all loci failed to have a significant effect on the litter size trait (p > 0.05). Moreover, years of kidding and parity had no significant impact on let-7c_S (p > 0.05); however, the let-7c_B affected the litter size trait significantly (p < 0.05). Additionally, binary logistic regression and chi-square analysis revealed that allele A of the detected SNP within 3′ UTR region of the let-7c gene had a non-significant effect on litter size in the studied goats (p > 0.05).

The status of genetic diversity, adaptation to climate change or the identification of genes associated with traits of interest in livestock populations has been a major concern for scientists in the last decades. Biotechnology has evolved continuously, offering new tools and methodologies to analyse the genomes of livestock species. Biochemical markers or protein polymorphisms were the tools used for population studies many years ago, but over the last three decades the methodologies available to analyse livestock genomes have changed notably. The development of DNA molecular markers, especially microsatellites and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, opened new possibilities for a better understanding of livestock genomes, unthinkable until recently. However, Whole-Genome Sequencing technologies or genome editing techniques are changing the way to analyse or interact with the genomes, even before full advantage can be taken of all the possibilities open by the last group of molecular markers. The aim of this review is to summarize the opportunities available through livestock genome analysis in cattle and small ruminant populations, namely through the molecular markers most widely used over the last few years, including microsatellites and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms.
