Analysis of miRNAs is important for understanding a variety of biological processes. Sequencing of miRNAs within milk-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms through which these EVs influence recipient cells. Comparative miRNA sequencing of colostrum and mature milk from different cow breeds can demonstrate breed-specific differences and improve the understanding of potential therapeutic applications in immune regulation and gut health. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the miRNA profiles and characteristics of colostrum- and mature milk-derived EVs from Holstein and Jersey breeds and determine their effects on intestinal epithelial cells. The miRNA profiles of EVs isolated from the colostrum and mature milk of Holstein and Jersey cows were analyzed via small RNA sequencing. Holstein colostrum-derived EVs exhibited the most diverse miRNA profile with 421 identified miRNAs compared with 259 in mature milk-derived EVs. Jersey colostrum EVs had 198 miRNAs, whereas mature milk EVs had 282. Differential expression analysis revealed considerable miRNA differences between colostrum and mature milk, particularly in Holstein cows. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses revealed that miRNAs from colostrum EVs predominantly regulated immune-related pathways. Transcriptomic analysis of human colon cell line HT-29 treated with Holstein colostrum EVs confirmed the modulation of genes associated with immune responses. These findings indicate that colostrum-derived EVs, particularly from Holstein cows, play a pivotal role in immune regulation and could be potential candidates for therapeutic applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":14923,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Science and Technology","volume":"67 1","pages":"193-207"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11833211/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143457756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these, RGB imaging and machine vision technology may offer a promising solution for early disease detection and proactive disease management in advanced pig husbandry practices. This review explores innovative applications for monitoring disease symptoms by assessing features that directly or indirectly indicate disease risk, as well as for tracking body weight and overall health. Machine vision and image processing algorithms enable for the real-time detection of subtle changes in pig appearance and behavior that may signify potential health issues. Key indicators include skin lesions, inflammation, ocular and nasal discharge, and deviations in posture and gait, each of which can be detected non-invasively using RGB cameras. Moreover, when integrated with thermal imaging, RGB systems can detect fever, a reliable indicator of infection, while behavioral monitoring systems can track abnormal posture, reduced activity, and altered feeding and drinking habits, which are often precursors to illness. The technology also facilitates the analysis of respiratory symptoms, such as coughing or sneezing (enabling early identification of respiratory diseases, one of the most significant challenges in pig farming), and the assessment of fecal consistency and color (providing valuable insights into digestive health). Early detection of disease or poor health supports proactive interventions, reducing mortality and improving treatment outcomes. Beyond direct symptom monitoring, RGB imaging and machine vision can indirectly assess disease risk by monitoring body weight, feeding behavior, and environmental factors such as overcrowding and temperature. However, further research is needed to refine the accuracy and robustness of algorithms in diverse farming environments. Ultimately, integrating RGB-based machine vision into existing farm management systems could provide continuous, automated surveillance, generating real-time alerts and actionable insights; these can support data-driven disease prevention strategies, reducing the need for mass medication and the development of antimicrobial resistance.</p>","PeriodicalId":14923,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Science and Technology","volume":"67 1","pages":"17-42"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11833201/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143457992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presence of this structure in multi-breed datasets can influence prediction accuracy, rendering proper modeling crucial for achieving unbiased results. This study aimed to address the effect of population structure on multi-breed genomic prediction, particularly focusing on crossbred reference populations. The prediction accuracy of genomic models was assessed by incorporating genomic breed composition (GBC) or principal component analysis (PCA) into the genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) model. The accuracy of five different genomic prediction models was evaluated using data from 354 Duroc × Korean native pig crossbreds, 1,105 Landrace × Korean native pig crossbreds, and 1,107 Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc crossbreds. The models tested were GBLUP without population structure adjustment, GBLUP with PCA as a fixed effect, GBLUP with GBC as a fixed effect, GBLUP with PCA as a random effect, and GBLUP with GBC as a random effect. The highest prediction accuracies for backfat thickness (0.59) and carcass weight (0.50) were observed in Models 1, 4, and 5. In contrast, Models 2 and 3, which included population structure as a fixed effect, exhibited lower accuracies, with backfat thickness accuracies of 0.40 and 0.53 and carcass weight accuracies of 0.34 and 0.38, respectively. These findings suggest that in multi-breed genomic prediction, the most efficient and accurate approach is either to forgo adjusting for population structure or, if adjustments are necessary, to model it as a random effect. This study provides a robust framework for multi-breed genomic prediction, highlighting the critical role of appropriately accounting for population structure. Moreover, our findings have important implications for improving genomic selection efficiency, ultimately enhancing commercial production by optimizing prediction accuracy in crossbred populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":14923,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Science and Technology","volume":"67 1","pages":"56-68"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11833194/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143457890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of MTS analysis, DEP increased the proliferation capacity of HSC, with cell viability being significantly higher after treatment with DEP, especially when DEP was used at 100 μg/mL (p < 0.05). To measure the differentiation ability of HSC, 0 and 100 μg/mL DEP (CON, D100) were added to the medium, and cells were cultured. Myotube formation was confirmed through images using immunofluorescence staining. Fusion index and myotube area in the D100 were higher than those in the CON (<i>p</i> < 0.01).

Inaccurate or low-quality data can lead to flawed predictions, compromising breeding programs and reducing genetic gains. Therefore, stringent quality control (QC) measures are essential at every stage of data processing. QC in genomic data involves managing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) quality, assessing call rates, and filtering based on minor allele frequency (MAF) and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). High-quality SNP data is crucial because genotyping errors can bias the estimates of breeding values.
