About the existence of common determinants of gene expression in the porcine liver and skeletal muscle
(Springer Nature, 2019-06-24)Background The comparison of expression QTL (eQTL) maps obtained in different tissues is an essential step to understand how gene expression is genetically regulated in a context-dependent manner. In the current work, we ... -
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 ... -
A genomewide association study in divergently selected lines in rabbits reveals novel genomic regions associated with litter size traits
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2019-10-28)Uterine capacity (UC), defined as the total number of kits from unilaterally ovariectomized does at birth, has a high genetic correlation with litter size. The aim of our research was to identify genomic regions associated ... -
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 ... -
Serum-derived extracellular vesicles from African swine fever virus-infected pigs selectively recruit viral and porcine proteins
(MDPI, 2019-09-20)African swine fever is a devastating hemorrhagic infectious disease, which a ects domestic and wild swines (Sus scrofa) of all breeds and ages, with a high lethality of up to 90–100% in naïve animals. The causative agent, ... -
Resynchronization with the G6G protocol: a retrospective, observational study of second and later timed artificial inseminations on commercial dairy farms
(Wiley, 2018-09-16)We recorded conception rates and estimated pregnancy rates following second and later timed artificial inseminations (TAIs) after hormonal resynchronization on commercial dairy farms, using the so‐called G6G protocol (PGF ... -
Effect of utilization of single or double prostaglandin administration within an ovsynch fixed-time artificial insemination protocol during summer season in dairy cows
(De Gruyter Open, 2019-07-30)This study investigated the fertility of dairy cows during summer season after treatment with a single or double PGF2α in a progesterone (P4)-based Ovsynch protocol for fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI). The data ... -
Progesterone supplementation during the pre-implantation period influences interferon-stimulated gene expression in lactating dairy cows
(De Gruyter Open, 2019-07-30)This study examined the effect of progesterone (P4) supplementation from Days 16 to 18 post-AI on interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression on Day 19 in high-producing dairy cows. Gene expression levels were measured in ... -
Isometric beak morphology in Phoenicopterus ruber roseus, Phoenicopteriformes
(University of Szeged, 2019-07-30)It is well documented that size of various body parts tends to correlate within the same individual. In the current study, we explore the relationship between body weight and some area and lineal beak measurements in a ... -
Asimetría direccional en el cráneo del conejo de compañía
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicna Veterinaria, 2019-10-11)La asimetría fluctuante se caracteriza por desviaciones sutiles y aleatorias en rasgos bilateralmente simétricos, y la asimetría direccional por una distribución sesgada hacia uno de los lados (derecho o izquierdo). Para ... -
Pre-ovulatory follicular temperature in bi-ovular cows
(Society for Reproduction and Development, 2019)In a previous study on monovular cows, follicles revealed a mean antral (follicular fluid) temperature 1.54°C cooler than rectal temperatures in ovulating cows, whereas no such temperature differences were detected in ... -
Linoleic acid metabolic pathway allows for an efficient increase of intramuscular fat content in pigs
(BMC, 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 ... -
Antimicrobial susceptibility of Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida isolated from ovine respiratory clinical cases in Spain and Portugal
(Elsevier, 2019-08-17)Antimicrobials are used to control respiratory disorders during the ovine rearing period. There is an urgent need to optimize the use of different antimicrobial families in livestock to tackle the general problem of ... -
Genetic markers associated with field PRRSV-induced abortion rates
(MDPI, 2019-07-30)In gilts and sows, the more severe clinical manifestation of PRRSV occurs in late gestation and can result in up to 40% of abortion incidence. Despite the known genetic component in the resilience to PRRSV, there is scarce ... -
Skull dorsal asymmetries between three different rabbit types signals stress in paedomorpic animals
(World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS), 2019-09-01)Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is frequently considered a consequence of developmental instability (DI), defined as the inability of an organism to adjust its development to an ideal pattern. The underlying hypothesis is that, ... -

The genetic ancestry of American Creole cattle inferred from uniparental and autosomal genetic markers
(Springer Nature Publishing AG, 2019-08-07)Cattle imported from the Iberian Peninsula spread throughout America in the early years of discovery and colonization to originate Creole breeds, which adapted to a wide diversity of environments and later received influences ... -
Non-allometric variation in the Brown-Thorated sloth Bradypus variegatus (Schinz, 1825) skull (Mammalia, Pilosa, Bradypodidade)
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2019-08-21)Brown-throated sloth Bradypus variegatus (Schinz, 1825) is a monomorphic mammal, and its skull ontogeny is poorly known. Here, we present a study of the ontogenetic allometric relationship between skull size and shape in ... -
Not all saponins have a greater antiprotozoal activity than their related sapogenins
(Oxford University Press, 2019-07-04)The antiprotozoal effect of saponins varies according to both the structure of the sapogenin and the composition and linkage of the sugar moieties to the sapogenin. The effect of saponins on protozoa has been considered ... -
