Paired left-right asymmetries of the hoof surface in the Pyrenean Catalan yearlings are less marked among hindlimbs
(Veterinary Academy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, 2020-12-24)Most published researches that describe an equine hoof form are based on lineal and angular measurements. Here we apply geometric morphometric methods to study symmetries between fore and hind pairs in a pure horse breed. ... -
Palomas con mejor condición corporal no presentan diferentes simetrías
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria, 2014-12-30)Twenty seven homing pigeons (10 males and 17 females) were biometrically studied and the bilateral symmetry (right-left) level was evaluated. Analysed traits were the length of outer external rectrices, length of the wing ... -
Patterning of variation morphology in equine navicular bone
(World Science and Research Publishing, 2014-10-25)Size and shape variation in the equine navicular bone is explored through the decomposition of coordinate data into elliptic Fourier coefficients. For this purpose, 10 bony pieces belonging to"Cavall Pirinenc Català" breed ... -
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic evaluation of marbofloxacin in the treatment of Haemophilus parasuis and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infections in nursery and fattener pigs using Monte Carlo simulations.
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2014-04-24)This study evaluated the theoretical clinical outcome of three marbofloxacin posology regimens in two groups of pigs (weaners and fatteners) for the treatment of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) and Haemophilus parasuis ... -
Pharmacokinetics of tildipirosin in pig tonsils
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2016)The penetration of antimicrobials in pig tonsils is hardly known. The objective of the study was to quantify the tildipirosin (TD) penetration in tonsils. Animals were randomly divided into six groups (control, T1, T2 (1), ... -
Piglet nasal microbiota at weaning may influence the development of Glässer’s disease during the rearing period
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: The microbiota, the ensemble of microorganisms on a particular body site, has been extensively studied during the last few years, and demonstrated to influence the development of many diseases. However, these ... -
Plasma concentrations of pregnancy-associated glycoproteins I and II and progesterone on day 28 post-AI as markers of twin pregnancy in dairy cattle
(Elsevier, 2016-10-01)Carrying twins is the main factor jeopardizing pregnancy maintenance and reducing the lifespan of dairy cows. There is therefore a need to accurately detect twin embryos at the time of pregnancy diagfiosis so that twin ... -
Plastral asymmetries in young European Pond Turtles, Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus 1758)

Plastral pigmentation symmetries in Western Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni hermanni)
(Scholars Research Library, 2015-01-01)Shape is a fundamental morphological descriptor, one method of its estimation being from digitally processed images. Elliptic Fourier method is an outline-based morphometrics that has some advantages: it does not require ... -
Plastral shape isometry in Western Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni hermanni)
(ASD, 2016-01-01)Elliptical Fourier Analysis is a good technique for characterizing the shape of complex biological and non-biological morphologies. The current investigation aimed to study plastral pigmentation contour (black areas of the ... -
Polymorphisms of the porcine cathepsins, growth hormone-releasing hormone and leptin receptor genes and their association with meat quality traits in Ukrainian Large White breed
(Springer Netherlands, 2016)Cathepsins, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and leptin receptor (LEPR) genes have been receiving increasing attention as potential markers for meat quality and pig performance traits. This study investigated the ... -
Porcine circovirus 3 is highly prevalent in serum and tissues and may persistently infect wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa)
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2018-08-29)Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) prevalence has been minimally investigated in wild boar; dynamics of infection and viral tissue distribution are currently unknown. In this study, serum samples from 518 wild boar (from years ... -
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Surveillance in breeding Herds and Nurseries Using Tongue Tips from Dead Animals
(MDPI, 2021)The detection capacity of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSV) in tongues from dead animals in breeding herds (stillborns and piglets dying during the lactating period) and nursery farms (naturally ... -
Possible tendency of longer horns towards shorter ears in goats
(PSCI Publications, 2014)A study was designed to evaluate the correlation in ear and horn sizes, in both cases as keys to body thermoregulation. For this purpose, measurements of the horn (length and perimeter) and ears (length and width) were ... -
Possible tendency of polled cattle towards larger ears
(Universidad de Antioquia. Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, 2014)Background: the anatomy and physiology of bovid horns are consistent with their thermoregulatory function. Objective: to evaluate a possible correlation between ear and horn size, as key factors for body thermoregulation. ... -
Postnatal Persistent Infection with Classical Swine Fever Virus and Its Immunological Implications
(Public Library Science, 2015-05-04)It is well established that trans-placental transmission of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) during mid-gestation can lead to persistently infected offspring. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of ... -
Potential use of local and systemic humoral immune response parameters to forecast Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae associated lung lesions
(Public Library of Science, 2017)Immunopathological events are key for the development of enzootic pneumonia (EP), which is macroscopically observed as cranioventral pulmonary consolidation (CVPC). This study aimed to investigate the putative association ... -
Practical Aspects of Twin Pregnancy Diagnosis in Cattle
(MDPI, 2021-04-08)Twin pregnancies are an economically unwanted phenomenon in dairy cattle, not only because they increase pregnancy losses, but also because antibiotics usage and culling rate of the dam are also dramatically increased due ... -
Pre-ovulatory follicular temperature in bi-ovular cows
(Society for Reproduction and Development, 2019)In a previous study on monovular cows, follicles revealed a mean antral (follicular fluid) temperature 1.54°C cooler than rectal temperatures in ovulating cows, whereas no such temperature differences were detected in ... -
