Integrative transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal the role of melatonin in promoting secondary hair follicle development in cashmere goats

Abstract Background Melatonin improves the production performance of animal furs, particularly in promoting wool and cashmere growth. Although most studies of melatonin enhancing cashmere growth have focused primarily on gene and phenotype levels, its impact on metabolites has not received attention...
