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) ... -
Los tipos craneométricos caninos aparecen bien expresados a nivel de conformación del arco cigomático
(Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía, 2020-01-01)Dentro del espectro de conformación del cráneo, se reconocen generalmente tres amplias categorías que se corresponden con el concepto de biotipo cefálico, determinado por el Índice Cefálico. El Estos tres biotipos cefálicos ... -
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 ... -
Mandibular allometry in Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus, 1766) (Hydrocherinae, Caviidae)
(2017-12-20)The mammalian masticatory apparatus is a highly plastic region of the skull and thus subjected to singular ontogenetic trajectories. Here we present the first descriptive allometric pattern study of mandible among the ... -
Manual Rupture Versus Transvaginal Ultrasound-guided Aspiration of Allanto-amniotic Fluid in Multiple Pregnancies: A Clinical Approach to Embryo Reduction in Dairy Cattle
(Society for Reproduction and Development, 2012)To avoid the problems associated with twinning in dairy cattle, one of the embryos may be eliminated. This study compares the effect on pregnancy maintenance of two embryo reduction techniques, manual rupture (MR) and ... -
Marked directional skull asymmetry in the Araucan horse
(Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2020-03-14)Deviations from the perfect symmetry of normally bilateral symmetrical characters occur during individual development due to the influence of multiple factors. Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is the random developmental variation ... -
Mastication in goats shows a chewing side preference
(OAT - Open Access Text, 2018-03-02)Developmental instability theory suggests that variation in some body parts in part can reflect the ability to buffer development from key environmental and genetic perturbations. Support for this approach comes mainly ... -
Matching symmetry of the bovine obturator foramen
(Global Researchers Journals, 2012)Morphometric studies sometimes consider matching symmetry, in which two separate structures exist as mirror images of each other, one on each body side. The examination of the bovine bones variation in symmetry seems to ... -
Maternal nutrient restriction in early pregnancy increases the risk of late embryo loss despite no effects on peri-implantation interferon-stimulated genes in suckler beef cattle
(ElsevierAssociation for Veterinary Teaching and Research Work, 2019-10-31)Reducing feeding costs in suckler beef herds to improve economic returns could have detrimental impacts on fertility. This study sought to determine whether maternal nutrient restriction during early pregnancy affects ... -
Meat characteristics of chickens from an F1 cross of two improved Spanish breeds depending on slaughter age
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2011)The present study analysed the meat characteristics of i) improved Castellana Negra chickens slaughtered at 18 weeks (CN-18) and ii) F1 crossbred chickens from improved Castellana Negra hens and improved Penedesenca Negra ... -

Methanogenesis in animals with foregut and hindgut fermentation: a review
(CSIRO Publishing, 2019-02-10)Methane is the main greenhouse gas contributor to global warming in the livestock sector; it is generated by anaerobic fermentation in the different sections of the gut, and differs significantly among species. Methane is ... -
Modeling the consequences of the demise and potential recovery of a keystone-species: wild rabbits and avian scavengers in Mediterranean landscapes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Restoration of demised keystone-species populations is an overriding concern in conservation biology. However, since no population is independent of its environment, progress is needed in predicting the efficacy of restoration ... -
Modelling urinary purine derivatives excretion as a tool to estimate microbial rumen outflow in alpacas (Vicugna pacos)
(Elsevier, 2012-10)Three experiments were carried out to establish a model to estimate the forestomach microbial yield based on the urinary excretion of purine derivatives (PD: allantoin, uric acid, xanthine and hypoxantine) in alpacas ... -
Modulatory effect of protein and carotene dietary levels on pig gut microbiota
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-20)In this study we investigated the impact of dietary protein and carotene levels on microbial functions and composition during the last month of purebred fattening Duroc pigs. Fecal microbiota was characterized using 16S ... -
Molar asymmetry shows a chewing-side preference in horses
(Medlife Scientific Press, 2014)Deviations from expected perfect symmetry can occur, and organisms can develop several kinds of asymmetry. Among others are fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and directional asymmetry (DA). FA represents small random differences ...
