Association of growth hormone (GH) gene polymorphism with growth and carcass in Sumba Ongole (SO) cattle

Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture, 2017
A study was conducted to identify the polymorphism in the intron 3 of the Growth Hormone (GH) gene and also to evaluate the association of the GH gene polymorphism with growth parameters and dressing percentage in the Sumba Ongole (SO) cattle. A total of

Carnivore carcasses are avoided by carnivores [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017
AbstractEcologists have traditionally focused on herbivore carcasses as study models in scavenging research. However, some observations of scavengers avoiding feeding on carnivore carrion suggest that different types of carrion may lead to differential pressures.

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.

RENDIMENTO CORPORAL E COMPOSIÇÃO QUÍMICA DO FILÉ DA VIOLA (Loricariichthys anus)

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2014
Loricariichthys anus (Viola) is currently the largest fish species of economic value of Mangueira Lagoon and, because of that, the aim of this work was to analyze its body yield and the chemical composition of its fillet.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Dietary ecology of Smilodon across time and space: Additional perspectives from Smilodon gracilis and Smilodon fatalis in Florida

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Dental microwear texture analysis of Smilodon samples from Florida's Pleistocene reveals moderate carcass utilization (like modern African lions) across space and time, with more subtle dietary shifts in response to fluctuating climates. Abstract Smilodon, the iconic saber‐toothed cat, was a Pleistocene apex predator comprised of three morphologically ...

Evaluation of Carcass Scraping to Enumerate Bacteria on Prechill Broiler Carcasses

Poultry Science, 2007
Experiments were conducted to evaluate a scraping method for enumerating bacteria on broiler carcasses. In experiment 1, coliforms and Escherichia coli were determined by the whole-carcass rinse (WCR) method and by scraping the skin surface and rinsing the blade (BR).

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.
