Exploring molecular dynamics indicators associated with reproductive performance of Bos indicus cattle in plasma samples through data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry

Aim of the study was to profile the blood plasma proteome of healthy Bos indicus cattle and use it as a baseline against which to compare different conditions in Bos indicus cattle, such as disease, reproduction associated proteins and pregnancy specific proteins etc. Data-independent acquisition (DIA) bases quantitative proteomics approach coupled to LC-MS/MS methods were used to achieve this aim. An Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid mass spectrometer (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Bremen, Germany) connected to the Easy- nLC-1200 nanoflow liquid chromatography system (Thermo Scientific) was used for data acquisition.
