Nutritional aspects related to the interval between calves
Scientific Electronic Archives, 2017 It is known that the demand for products of bovine origin increases every day in the world, and Brazil, which has the largest commercial herd of cattle on the planet, does not stay behind when it comes to raising beef cattle and milk. Despite our efforts to offer the best product, we are faced with difficult challenges in the country when it comes to ...

Behavioral response of moose Alces alces to summer heat stress
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Minnesota moose are heat‐stressed during summers, which is adversely impacting their survival. We used both movement and activity data to explore the behavioral responses of Minnesota moose experiencing heat stress, termed ‘hot moose events' or HMEs, to understand how both ambient temperature and available habitat contribute to the ability of these ...

Effect of Body Condition Score at Calving on Adaptive Immune Function During Early Lactation in New Zealand Dairy Cows: Effect of calving body condition on adaptive immune function [PDF]
, 2014 The extent of postpartum negative energy balance in dairy cows is positively associated with body condition score (BCS) at calving. Results of epidemiological studies have indicated that calving BCS is positively correlated with several indicators of ...

Fecundity of the Lagune Cow in Benin. Age at first calving and Calving Intervals
Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2005 Data collected from 1987 to 2003 at the Samiondji farm in Benin were used to study the age at first calving (n = 200) and calving intervals (n = 805) in the Lagune cow. The age at first calving was 1373 ± 180 days (4 ± 0.5 years) and calving intervals were 426 ± 85 days (14 ± 2.8 months).

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The authors distil how dimensions of biodiversity drive ecosystem processes with increasing temperature. Specifically, species physiology more greatly affected ecosystem primary production than did foraging behaviour, and physiology mediated non‐additive interactions with temperature.

Relationships Among Herd Life, Milk Production, and Calving Interval [PDF]
, 1967 Whether to select for longer life in the herd or shorter calving interval depends on the genetic and phenotypic relationships among herd life, amount of milk in first lactation, and calving interval. Herd life and average calving interval are essentially

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study proposes two contrasting scenarios for how host infectiousness is determined: recipient dependence and donor dependence. These scenarios fundamentally alter how host heterogeneity shapes parasite transmission, demonstrating that the process by which infectiousness is determined is crucial for understanding the consequences of host ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This work aimed to apply the principles of skin mark analysis to a cetacean species to build a sex‐discrimination model exclusively based on photographic material. Relevant differences between sexes emerged in markings, with males presenting more social, aggression‐related, and fishing‐related marks overall, and a stronger tendency of mark accumulation
