Evaluation of bovine hemimandible morphology by means of elliptic Fourier descriptors
(Firenze University Press, 2014-06-27)The aim of this research was to compare size (area) and shape variations of bovine hemimandibles according to age. Digital photographs were obtained for 34 hemimandibles belonging to different European breeds of cattle. ... -
Evaluation of sequencing strategies for whole-genome imputation with hybrid peeling
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2020-04-06)Background: For assembling large whole-genome sequence datasets for routine use in research and breeding, the sequencing strategy should be adapted to the methods that will be used later for variant discovery and imputation. ... -
Evaluation of the network of protection areas for the feeding of scavengers in Spain: from biodiversity conservation to greenhouse gas emission savings
(Wiley, 2016)1. Protected areas are one of the most common strategies for wildlife conservation world-wide. However, their effectiveness is rarely evaluated. In Europe, after the outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, a ... -
Evaluation of the response of maximum daily shrinkage in young cherry trees submitted to water stress cycles in a greenhouse
(Elsevier, 2013-02)In the semiarid zones of the Mediterranean area, such as the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, as in many others in the world, water scarcity and the increase of water use in many socio-economical sectors, suppose ... -
Evolución a lo largo del ciclo de puesta del contenido de ácidos grasos omega-3 en huevos enriquecidos de producción ecológica
(Asociación Interprofesional para el Desarrollo Agrario, 2015-06-01)En este trabajo se estudia la puesta de gallinas en producción ecológica alimentadas con pienso enriquecido con un 4% de harina de pescado y 2,95% de aceite de soja hasta las 90 semanas de vida. Se caracteriza la calidad ... -
Excretion of endogenous and exogenous purine derivatives in sheep: effect of increased concentrate intake
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)The present study examined the endogenous urinary excretion of purine derivatives (PD; allantoin, uric acid and xanthine plus hypoxanthine) in fed animals. Four Rasa Aragonesa ewes fitted with simple cannulas in the rumen ... -
Existence of mandibular directional asymmetry in the European wild boar (Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758)
(SBA-Sociedade Brasileira de Anatomia (Brazilian Society of Anatomy); Panamerican Association of Anatomists, 2015-04-27)We studied a sample of 37 dentulous dry mandibles from European wild board (Sus scrofa) and compared both the right and left sides in their dorsal aspect. To study the influence of age, the samples were grouped according ... -
Expected genetic response for oleic acid content in pork
(American Society of Animal Science, 2012-12)Intramuscular fat (IMF) and oleic acid (C18:1) content in pork are important issues for the pig industry and consumers. Data from a purebred Duroc line were used to i) estimate the genetic parameters of IMF and C18:1 and ... -
Explorando la variabilidad métrica y morfológica de astas bovinas a partir de la técnica del análisis de contornos
(Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2010)The present work explores the potentiality of EFA ("Elliptic Fourier Analysis"), an analytic and descriptive tool for the study of shape, independently of the size of the artifacts, to the study of horns. Morphospace of a ... -
Expression profiling of the GBP1 gene as a candidate gene for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome resistance
(Wiley, 2015)A genomic region in pig chromosome 4 has been previously associated with higher viraemia levels and lower weight gain following porcine reproduction and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. The region includes the ... -
Factor analysis of biometric traits of Tonga cattle for body conformation characterization
(Science Central Publications, 2014-04-22)The Tonga is one of the recognized breeds of the Zambian cattle. This is a multi-purpose breed found in the southern part of the country. The present study was undertaken to study the different body measurements and ... -
Factores de explotación asociados a la duración del anestro postparto en vacas nodrizas de razas Parda de Montaña y Pirenaica
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2003)Para determinar los factores de explotación relacionados con la reactivación ovárica postparto en vacas nodrizas se realizó un análisis global de una serie de indicadores productivos y la duración del anestro postparto ... -
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
