A model for the study of the growth of body area in beef cattle
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria, 2018-08-31)Estimation formulas have been established for the establishment of body surface area (BSA), using live weight (LW) and body length for calculation. The objective of this work was to compare four estimation formulas of the ... -
Different cephalic development among rabbit types
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2018-06-28)The word 'allometry' refers to the relative growth of a biological structure to other(s) or to the entire body, and encompasses conformational changes due to size change. When growth is the same among studied traits, it ... -
Genetic characterization of influenza A viruses circulating in pigs and isolated in north-east Spain during the period 2006-2007
(Elsevier, 2014)Swine influenza virus is one of the most important pathogens involved in the swine respiratory disease complex. Recent serological surveys showed a high prevalence of swine influenza strains belonging to the H1N1, H1N2 and ... -
Cross-species infectivity of H3N8 influenza virus in an experimental infection in swine
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015)Avian influenza A viruses have gained increasing attention due to their ability to cross the species barrier and cause severe disease in humans and other mammal species as pigs. H3 and particularly H3N8 viruses, are highly ... -
A polymorphism in the fatty acid desaturase-2 gene is associated with the arachidonic acid metabolism in pigs
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-09-25)Arachidonic acid (C20:4) is related to a wide range of biological effects including lipid homeostasis. The fatty acid desaturase-2 (FADS2) gene encodes for the delta-6-desaturase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of ... -
Interés de la inclusión de taninos condensados en la alimentación del ovino de carne
(Asís Veterinaria, 2018-12-01)El sector ovino tiene una gran importancia en España y es el segundo productor europeo, después de Reino Unido (FAOSTAT, 2017). El sistema de producción de corderos se basa principalmente en la lactancia y posterior ... -
Crecimiento postnatal diferenciado del neurocráneo y del viscerocráneo en equinos domésticos
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria, 2018-06-20)Geometric morphometry of 42 equine skulls from different domestic breeds was used. A digital photograph of the dorsal plane of each skull was obtained, on which were placed seven craniometric landmarks, involving both the ... -
Nuevas estrategias de alimentación en el porcino ecológico
(Grupo Asís, 2018-10-01)Este estudio se planteó para proponer una estrategia de alimentación de porcino ecológico, en las diferentes fases fisiológicas, usando ingredientes locales ecológicos. A partir del valor nutritivo de cereales (n = 22), ... -
Nutritional strategies to cope with reduced litter weight gain and total tract digestibility in lactating sows
(Wiley, 2017-09-15)Twelve lactating sows were used to evaluate the effects of reducing dietary crude protein (CP) (14% vs. 12%) and increasing neutral detergent fibre (NDF) levels (18% vs. 22%) on litter performance, total tract ... -
Updated distribution and biogeography of amphibians and reptiles of Europe
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2014)A precise knowledge of the spatial distribution of taxa is essential for decision-making processes in land management and biodiversity conservation, both for present and under future global change scenarios. This is a key ... -

Early postpartum administration of equine chorionic gonadotropin to dairy cows calved during the hot season: Effects on fertility after first artificial insemination
(Elsevier, 2017-04-01)Heat stress reduces fertility of high-producing dairy cows, and early administration of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) may improve it. Here, 401 heat-stressed, high-producing dairy cows on a single commercial farm ... -
Uterine serpin (SERPINA 14) correlates negatively with cytokine production at the foetal-maternal interface but not in the corpus luteum in pregnant dairy heifers experimentally infected with Neospora caninum
(Wiley, 2017-02-01)This study examines gene expression patterns in dairy heifers experimentally infected with N. caninum during on Day 110 of pregnancy with live foetuses at euthanasia, 42 days later. The study population was constituted of ... -
Skull growth in equids beyond domestication
(OAT - Open Access Text, 2018-06-19)Te size of body parts often co-vary through exponential scaling, this is known as allometry. Allometric changes are important to the generation of morphological diversity. To make inferences regarding the evolved responses ... -
The impact of CSFV on the immune response to control infection
(Elsevier, 2014-03-06)The severity of the acute form of CSF is responsible for the high mortality rate and has been the subject of many studies. Nevertheless, some animals are likely to develop a mild, chronic, or unapparent form of the disease. ... -
