Predicted foot and mouth disease virus and African swine fever virus inactivation within carcases undergoing field decomposition in three Australian climate zones

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Australia's large populations of feral and extensively farmed livestock pose challenges to implementing response plans in the event of an Emergency Animal Disease outbreak. This study aimed to determine if a “Destroy and Let Lie” approach to carcase disposal (leaving carcases in situ to decompose naturally after field euthanasia) would reliably ...

Quantitative trait locus affecting birth weight on bovine chromosome 5 in a F2 Gyr x Holstein population

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
Segregation between a genetic marker and a locus influencing a quantitative trait in a well delineated population is the basis for success in mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL). To detect bovine chromosome 5 (BTA5) birth weight QTL we genotyped 294 F2

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.

Genetic group and heterosis on morphometric measurements during the growth of male beef cattle

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2016
In the present study, the effects of genetic group and heterosis on body measurements of purebreds (Charolais - C and Nellore - N), first-generation crossbreds (G1) (1/2C1/2N and 1/2N1/2C), and second-generation crossbreds (G2) (3/4C1/4N and 3/4N1/4C ...

Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain why the three zebra species (Equus quagga, E. grevyi and E. zebra) are striped. We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...

Constructing a comprehensive gene co-expression based interactome in Bos taurus

PeerJ, 2017
Integrating genomic information into cattle breeding is an important approach to exploring genotype-phenotype relationships for complex traits related to diary and meat production. To assist with genomic-based selection, a reference map of interactome is

Caracterização do estro de novilhas cruzadas (Bos taurus indicus x Bos taurus taurus) por radiotelemetria

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Research and Animal Science, 2006
Embora a técnica de inseminação artificial (IA) apresente inúmeras vantagens, no Brasil é empregada em apenas 7% das fêmeas de corte. Falhas na detecção de estros constituem o principal fator limitante para a obtenção de êxito no emprego da técnica.

Maternal Nutritional Status Governs Fetal Development by Modulating Imprinting Gene GAB1‐Mediated Trophoblast Differentiation in the Placenta

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Maternal nutrient restriction disrupts placental homeostasis via GAB1 dysregulation—involving both transcriptional downregulation and autophagy‐dependent protein degradation. These molecular alterations inhibit MAPK signalling‐mediated trophoblast fusion, leading to structural and functional deficits in the maternal–fetal exchange interface.

Bosutinib mitigates inflammation in experimental sepsis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sepsis, a leading cause of death globally, lacks targeted and effective treatment. Its pathophysiology involves unbalanced inflammation, marked by a high release of inflammatory mediators, leukocyte recruitment, vascular changes and dysfunction of the nervous and respiratory systems. Src family tyrosine kinases (SFK) play a critical

Heparin-binding proteins of seminal plasma in Nellore bulls Proteínas ligadoras à heparina do plasma seminal em touros Nelore

Ciência Rural, 2009
The aim of this study was to identify heparin-binding proteins (HBPs) in seminal plasma of Nellore (Bos taurus indicus) bulls. Bulls (n=4), 30-36 months old, 500-550kg with satisfactory seminal quality were selected.
