Project description:Lactoferrin supplementation in pig milk replacer could promote cognitive functions in postnatal piglet behaviour experiment. There are 3 groups of 3-day-old postnatal piglets, feeding basal level, medium dose(0.6g/L) and high dose(1.2g/L) lactoferrin. After 35days feeding, medium dose group showed better performance in behaviour experiment. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the nervous system development and memory formation.
Project description:Large White and Meishan pigs were either non-treated or injected with mammalian 1-24 ACTH (Immediate Synachten, Novartis France) at the dose of 250 µg per animal. Pigs were sacrificed either immediately after capture from their home cage (non-treated animals) or 1 hour following ACTH injection. Adrenal glands were immediately collected from pigs and frozen on dry ice and then stored at -80°C until RNA isolation. Keywords: stress response, adrenal, gene expression, pig
Project description:To obtain an overview of the methylome landscape in the developing pig skeletal muscle, 81 high-quality whole-genome bisulfite sequencing(WGBS) libraries that covered 27 developmental stages (3 biological replicates per stage) from embryonic day 33 (E33) to postnatal day 180 (D180) were produced by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing.
