Study of nitrogen fluxes across conventional solid floor cubicle and compost-bedded pack housing systems in dairy cattle barns located in the Mediterranean area: Effects of seasonal variation
(ElsevierAmerican Dairy Science Association, 2020-07-06)The aim of this study was to determine the effect of housing system (or manure management system) and season on manure N recovery and volatilization using an N mass balance. Dietary, milk and manure N were monitored together ... -
Lack of protective effect of chloroquine derivatives on COVID-19 disease in a Spanish sample of chronically treated patients
(2020)Background: The search for a SARS-CoV-2 treatment has emerged as a worldwide priority. We evaluated the role of chloroquine and its derivatives in COVID-19 in Spanish individuals. Methods: We performed a survey addressed ... -
Identification of functional mutations associated with environmental variance of litter size in rabbits
(BMC, 2020-05-06)Background: Environmental variance (VE) is partly under genetic control and has recently been proposed as a measure of resilience. Unravelling the genetic background of the VE of complex traits could help to improve ... -
Scutation asymmetries in red-footed tortoise Chelonoidis carbonaria Spix, 1824 (Testudines: Testudinidae)
(Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZUSP), 2020-08-28)The ability of an individual to withstand random perturbations during its development is considered a good indicator of environmental and genetic stress. A common means of assessing developmental stability is through ... -
Anatomical studies based on geometric morphology. An example in Saguinus scapulae (Primates: Callitrichidae)
(Universidad de la Amazonia. Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, 2020-07-15)Existe una relación muy estrecha entre la morfología y función escapular; adoptando la escápula formas diferentes según el tipo de locomoción y las actividades físicas . El manguito rotador proporciona movilidad a la ... -
Directional asymmetry in yellow-bellied sliders (Trachemys scripta scripta) (Schoepff 1792)
(Societas Europaea Herpetologica (SEH), 2020-08-05)Bilateral symmetry is not uncommon in animal kingdom, and animals can deviate from expected symmetry and manifest some forms of asymmetries. Fluctuating asymmetry is considered a tool for valuating developmental instability, ... -
Adaptative directional asymmetric shape in Testudo hermanni hermanni Gmelin, 1789 (Reptilia: Testudines: Testudinidae)
(Societas Europaea Herpetologica (SEH), 2019-07-09)Asymmetries consist of deviations from perfect symmetry. If the variation is normally distributed around a mean of zero, fluctuating asymmetry is present; when the variation is normally distributed around a mean that is ... -
Directional solar asymmetries in sound Pyrenean Catalan horses
(Hilaris, 2020-07-17)Most published attempts to quantify equine hoof form are based on lineal and angular measurements. Here we applied geometric morphometric methods to study shape variation of hoof outlines in a sample of 25 distal forelimbs ... -
Feeding calves with pasteurized colostrum and milk has a positive long-term effect on their productive performance
(MDPI, 2020)Female calves, checked for serum total protein ≥ 5.8 g/dL before 5 days of life, entered the study at 22 days of age after having received pasteurized colostrum and milk (P group, n = 127), or non-pasteurized colostrum and ... -
Differential viral-host immune interactions associated with Oseltamivir-resistant H275Y and wild type H1N1 A(pdm09) Influenza virus pathogenicity
(MDPI, 2020)Oseltamivir is a common therapy against influenza A virus (IAV) infections. The acquisition of oseltamivir resistance (OR) mutations, such as H275Y, hampers viral fitness. However, OR H1N1 viruses have demonstrated the ... -
Clustering the tumbler pigeons group on their morphological characteristics reveals a eumetrical and a hypermetrical clade
(Agricultural Academy of Bulgaria, 2020-06-30)The objective of the research was to investigate the relationship among traits in 21 tumbler pigeon breeds and Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) from different traits(body weight, wing length, height, beak base thickness, beak ... -
Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of porcine respiratory bacteria in Spain
(MDPI, 2020)The monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility of pig pathogens is critical to optimize antimicrobial treatments and prevent development of resistance with a one-health approach. The aim of this study was to investigate ... -
Asymmetries of forelimb digits of young cattle
(MDPI, 2020-07-02)Based on the anatomical premise that, in bovines, the medial (inner) hoof is larger than the lateral (outer) one in the forelimb, we hypothesized that this implies a phalangeal form difference. To test this hypothesis, ... -
Cephalic heterochronies in domestic rabbits: a first study
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria, 2020-06-24)Heterochrony is defined as the evolutionary changes in the timing of development, presenting a unified view of neoteny, recapitulation, paedogenesis, retardation, progenesis, etc. In order to detect processes of heterochrony ... -
The comparative analysis among Mediterranean hen breeds based on their morphological traits does not reflects relationships of origin or aptitude
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria, 2020-06-24)The aim of this study was to carry out the systematic classification in related groups and based on morphological similarities of 19 breeds of hens of the Mediterranean group. These breeds were 15 Spanish (Alicantina, ... -
Toll Like Receptor 2 promoter -196 to -174 deletion affects CD4 levels along HIV infection progression
(Infectious Diseases Society of AmericaOxford University Press, 2020-06-09)TLR2 plays a key role in innate immune response recognizing molecular patterns expressed by pathogens. rs111200466 is a TLR2 promoter Insertion/Deletion polymorphism with contradictory data about its role in HIV-1 infection. ... -
Lateral asymmetry of the equine mandible
(Agricultural Academy of Bulgaria, 2020-05-30)Deviations from expected perfect symmetry on biological forms can occur, and organisms develop several kinds of asymmetries. Among others there are fluctuating asymmetry and directional asymmetry (DA). DA happens whenever ... -
