La 'Fardasca': ¿una nueva población ovina en España?
(Red CONBIAND, 2011-01-03)A no previously referenced relict sheep population from southwest of Spain is described. From eighteen adult ewes, considered as pure animals, we obtained twenty lineal measurements and the individual live weight. According ... -
La importancia de los caracteres del vellón como definidor racial. Un caso-estudio
(Veterinaria Organización, 2009)To evaluate which are the best discriminant variables to distinguish ovine breeds, phenetic relationships among eight turkish and one french breeds or types were studied. A matrix of 7 morphological and 4 wool characters ... -

Lack of protective effect of chloroquine derivatives on COVID-19 disease in a Spanish sample of chronically treated patients
(2020)Background The search for a SARS-CoV-2 treatment has emerged as a worldwide priority. We evaluated the role of chloroquine and its derivatives in COVID-19 in Spanish individuals. Methods We performed a survey addressed ... -

Large birds of prey, policies that alter food availability and air traffic : a risky mix for human safety
(Utah State University, 2017)Raptors are considered to pose one of the greatest aviation bir d strike risks. We investigated raptor bird strikes reported at the largest Spanis h airport (Adolfo Suárez Madrid Barajas; AS-MB) from 2009 to 2016 to ... -
Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search
(Oxford University Press, 2019-10-29)Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that ... -
Larger wild felids exhibit longer dental skeletons
(Medlife Scientific Press, 2014-12-27)Extant members of the cat family (Felidae) have been considered morphologically skull conservative, i.e., despite great differences in size, there is relatively little variation in the cranial shape. Consequently, felids ... -
Lateral asymmetry of the equine mandible
(Agricultural Academy of Bulgaria, 2020-05-30)Deviations from expected perfect symmetry on biological forms can occur, and organisms develop several kinds of asymmetries. Among others there are fluctuating asymmetry and directional asymmetry (DA). DA happens whenever ... -
Leg conformation flaws in the Catalan Jackass
(Red CONBIAND, 2020-11-27)Ateleology studies defects in leg conformation. As there are no published ateleological researches on leg conformational flaws for the 'Raça Asinina Catalana' (Catalan jackass), this work aims to offer an approach to the ... -
Leptin receptor and fatty acid desaturase-2 gene variants affect fat, color and production profile of dry-cured hams
(Elsevier, 2020-12-03)The effects of LEPR (rs709596309C>T) and FADS2 (rs321384923A>G) single nucleotide polymorphisms on production and quality attributes in purebred Duroc dry-cured hams were examined. As compared to LEPR-C- hams, the LEPR-TT ... -
Lineal discrimination of horses and mules. A sympatric case from Arauca, Colombia
(MDPI, 2020-04-10)This is the first morphological comparative study between local horses and mules from Arauca, Colombia. It was realized to compare morphological traits between both species by analysing 15 adult mules (7 males and 8 females) ... -
Linoleic acid metabolic pathway allows for an efficient increase of intramuscular fat content in pigs
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2019-05-07)Background: Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a relevant trait for high-quality meat products such as dry-cured ham, but increasing IMF has the undesirable correlated effect of decreasing lean growth. Thus, there is a ... -
Live weight estimation of fat-tailed indigenous ewes from Southern Zambia
(Indian Council of Agricultural Research, 2013)Body measurements can be used to predict live weight fairly well in a situation where weighbridges are not available (Goonerwardene and Sahaayuraban 1983). The accuracy of functions used to predict live weight or growth ... -
Live weight estimation of Gwembe goat (Capra hircus) from measurement of thoracic girth
(African Association of Veterinary Anatomists, 2012)Thoracic girth was taken and corre-lated with live weight from 41 goats (30 females and 11 males) in South Zambia under on farm condition. Live weight was estimated using a linear model. Coefficient of determination (R2) ... -

Lower palatine developmental instability in hybrid Old World camelids
(Network for the Veterinarians of Bangladesh (BDvetNET), 2020-10-08)Objective: In this research study, we explore the fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of palate Camelus hybrids and their parental species (dromedary and Bactrian). Materials and methods: We studied a sample of pictures from 27 ... -
Mandible in the African rodent Cricetomys gambianus (Waterhouse, 1840) is low sexually dimorphic
(Medico Edge Publications, 2016-05-02)The aim of this study was to compare mandible forms in adult males and females of African giant rat (or Gambian pouched rat) (Cricetomys gambianusWaterhouse, 1840). For this purpose, 9 lateral mandibular landmarks were ... -
