Changes in nasal microbiota composition associated with development of polyserositis by Mycoplasma hyorhinis
(2021)Fibrinous polyserositis in swine farming is a common pathological finding in nursery animals. The differential diagnosis of this finding should include Glaesserella parasuis (aetiological agent of Glässer's disease) and ... -
High level of fluctuating asymmetry in the Byzantine dogs from the Theodosius Harbor, Istanbul, Turkey
(2021-04-22)Asymmetry, the abnormality of an organism or a part of it from its perfect symmetry, is represented by three different categories: fluctuating asymmetry, directional asymmetry, and antisymmetry. Fluctuating asymmetry ... -
Intestinal microbiota composition in free-range pigs is associated with the presence of Salmonella
(2021)Extensive pig systems are gaining importance as quality production systems and as stand ard for sustainable rural development and animal welfare. However, the effect of natural food on Salmonella epidemiology remains ... -
Semen quality of Colombian Creole as compared to commercial pig breeds
(Springer, 2021)Characterization of Creole breeds is still very limited, including reproductive performance. In this research, we assessed the semen quality of three Colombian Creole breeds (Zungo, Casco de Mula, and San Pedreño) relative ... -
Genetic variation in recombination rate in the pig
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2021-06-25)Background: Meiotic recombination results in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. Recombination rate varies between different parts of the genome, between individuals, and is influenced by ... -
Evolution of viscera and muscle fractional protein synthesis rate in lean meat selected hybrids and castrated Duroc pigs fed under moderate crude protein restriction
(Elsevier, 2021-06-01)Differences in producing performance and organoleptic meat characteristics among pig genotypes and/or producing types are widely known. These parameters are also subjected to the animal's development, feeding and management. ... -
Modelling the SARS-COV-2 outbreak: assessing the usefulness of protective measures to reduce the pandemic at population level
(Elsevier, 2021)A new bioinspired computational model was developed for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic using the available epidemiological information, high-resolution population density data, travel patterns, and the average number of contacts ... -
The Specific Immune Response after Vaccination against Neonatal Calf Diarrhoea Differs between Apparent Similar Vaccines in a Case Study
(MDPI, 2021)Neonatal calf diarrhoea (NCD) is a major health challenge with a negative impact on farm profitability, calf welfare and antimicrobial use. Neonatal calves are particularly sensitive to enteric infections. Thus, a key point ... -
Comparative study of several Pyrenean breeds of sheep by means of the analysis of morphological characters
(Veterinaria Organización, 2007)The relationships between 32 breeds of sheep (or ecotypes) have been studied by means of qualitative and quantitative analysis of data from 42 morphological characters. The average difference among the breeds (morphological ... -
The Aura-Campan ovine breed: a reminiscence of merinisation in the Central Pyrenees
(Veterinaria Organización, 2007)Starting from the wool analysis belonging to 9 individuals (7 females and 2 males) of the Aura-Campan ovine breed, different macroscopical and microscopical values are obtained. It is registered a big uniformity of locks ... -
Presence or Absence of Earlobes Reveals Different Biometric Structure among the Peluca Hen from Guatemala
(SCIENCEDOMAIN International, 2021-04-17)Background and Objective: Earlobe, a head furnishing trait, is a non-putative trait in Peluca hen ('naked-necked' hen), a local breed from Guatemala. The objective of this study is to determine if presence or absence of ... -
Molecular Detection and Identification of Chlamydiaceae in the Eyes of Wild and Domestic Ruminant Hosts from Northern Spain
(MDPI, 2021-03-23)Infections by Chlamydiae are associated with ocular disease in humans and animals. In this study, the presence and diversity of Chlamydia spp. was assessed in diseased and healthy eyes of domestic sheep and wild ruminants ... -
Individual differences in dominance-related traits drive dispersal and settlement in hatchery-reared juvenile brown trout
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-31)Effective management of exploited populations is based on an understanding of population dynamics and evolutionary processes. In spatially structured populations, dispersal is a central process that ultimately can affect ... -
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 ... -
Modeling of Vaccination and Contact Tracing as Tools to Control the COVID-19 Outbreak in Spain
(MDPI, 2021)We developed an agent-based stochastic model, based on P Systems methodology, to decipher the effects of vaccination and contact tracing on the control of COVID-19 outbreak at population level under different control ... -
Sarcoptic mange in wild ruminants in Spain: solving the epidemiological enigma using microsatellite markers
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2021-03-20)Background: In Spain, sarcoptic mange was first described in native wildlife in 1987 in Cazorla Natural Park, causing the death of nearly 95% of the local native population of Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica). Since then, ... -
