Factors affecting diet variation in the Pyrenean rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta pyrenaica): Conservation implications
(Public Library of Science, 2016)The Pyrenean rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta pyrenaica) lives at one of the southernmost limits of the ptarmigan range. Their small population sizes and the impacts of global changes are limiting factors in the conservation ... -
Factors affecting the response to the specific treatment of several forms of clinical anestrus in high producing dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2008)This study was designed to examine estrous response rates to the therapeutic treatment of clinical anestrus in high producing dairy cows and to identify the factors that could affect these rates. Cows with silent ovulation ... -
Factors de variació en la producció de canals de porcí ecològica i convencional
(Institució Catalana d'Estudis Agraris, 2020-05-26)El treball que es presenta en aquest article té l'objectiu d'analitzar els efectes del sistema de producció (convencional o ecològic), l'estació de l'any (estiu o tardor), el sexe (mascles castrats o femelles) i el tipus ... -
Farmer Perceptions of the Ecosystem Services Provided by Scavengers: What, Who, and to Whom
(Wiley, 2017)A socioecological approach to biodiversity conservation has recently been encouraged. We examined farmer perceptions of ecosystem services provided by scavenging vertebrates in Spain through face‐to‐face surveys with farmers ... -
Feeding calves with pasteurized colostrum and milk has a positive long-term effect on their productive performance
(MDPI, 2020)Female calves, checked for serum total protein ≥ 5.8 g/dL before 5 days of life, entered the study at 22 days of age after having received pasteurized colostrum and milk (P group, n = 127), or non-pasteurized colostrum and ... -
Fibre Characterization of the fat tailed zambian ovine breed
(World Science and Research Publishing, 2014-12-07)To-date, no ethnological study of the Fat-tailed Zambian ovine breed has been published. In order to contribute to the knowledge of its wool, ten fleece samples were studied. Each sample was analysed for yield by isoalcohol ... -
Fitting growth with the von Bertalanffy growth function: a comparison of two captive maral populations
(World Science and Research Publishing, 2014-11-25)In this research, we used the von Bertalanffy curve for the development of a simulation model of the growth of captive marals or Caspian Red Deer (Cervuselaphussibiricus). The data used in this study was from 18 male marals ... -
Five genomic regions have a major impact on fat composition in Iberian pigs
(Nature Research, 2019)The adipogenic nature of the Iberian pig defines many quality attributes of its fresh meat and dry-cured products. The distinct varieties of Iberian pig exhibit great variability in the genetic parameters for fat deposition ... -
Foetal death in naive heifers inoculated with Neospora caninum isolate Nc-Spain7 at 110 days of pregnancy
(Elsevier, 2016-09)Neospora caninum infection is a leading cause of abortion in cattle worldwide. The pathogenesis of bovine neosporosis, particularly during the second term of gestation when most abortions occur in naturally infected dams, ... -
Forage preservation (grazing vs. hay) fed to ewes affects the fatty acid profile of milk and CPT1B gene expression in the sheep mammary gland
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: Alterations in lipid metabolism occur when animals are exposed to different feeding systems. In the last few decades, the characterisation of genes involved in fat metabolism and technological advances have ... -
Four supernumerary distomolar dysmorphic cheek teeth in a horse: a case report
(Labome, 2014)We present an adult meat horse skull assembled by one of the authors with 4 fourth molars in each quadrant of the permanent dentition (Triadan 112, 212, 312 and 412), from which they were not totally erupted. As few cases ... -
Functional resilience and response to a dietary additive (Kefir) in models of foregut and hindgut microbial fermentation in vitro
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2017-06-28)Stability in gut ecosystems is an important area of study that impacts on the use of additives and is related with several pathologies. Kefir is a fermented milk drink made with a consortium of yeast and bacteria as a ... -
Functional skull asymmetries in Carollia perspicillata (Phyllostomidae Gray, 1825: Carollinae)
