Source Classification and Characteristics Comparison of Bio-materials for Mammary Gland Function Research of Dairy Cattle
Bovine mammary gland is a secretory organ composited in complex biological structure by various kinds of cells.Due to the cellular heterogeneity and complexity,research conducted on mammary gland can be obtained via solid tissue or matter secreted from mammary gland.Based on different experimental objectives,the corresponding mammary biomaterials need to be selected according to the existing theoretical basis.Herein,we summarized structure complexity of mammary gland and various kinds of research materials from mammary.Moreover,we systematically evaluated research application of mammary gland bio-materials by using various kinds of technique including transcriptome,proteomics and metabolomics,which would assist enhancement of bovine mammary gland,quality of raw milk and cross-generation neonate ruminant health regulation.
