CARCASS TRAITS OF PUREBRED AND CROSSBRED RABBITS

World Rabbit Science, 2010
[EN] Carcass data on 80 rabbits representing four genetic groups and both sexes were analyséd to determine the effects of straight and cross breeding on carcass traits. Genetic groups were New Zealand White (NZW), Califomian {CA) ana their reciprocal crosses (NZW x CA and CA x NZW).

Sharp Force Trauma and Chop Mark Identification Bias: Experimental Evidence on the Effects of Bone Morphology, Cortical Thickness, and Ax Material

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sharp force trauma (SFT) is the main criterion used to identify chop mark butchery in zooarchaeology, yet its reliability as a diagnostic feature has not been systematically tested. Chop marks reflect both cutting and fracturing processes and exhibit characteristics of both sharp and blunt trauma.

SLAUGHTER AND CARCASS TRAITS OF NATIVE GEESE REARED IN MUŞ PROVINCE

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
This study was conducted to determine the slaughter and carcass traits and the effects of sex on these traits of native geese reared in Muş. A total of 41 geese (17 male and 24 female) which were 8-10 months of age were used.

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

Oikos, EarlyView.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Estimation of heritability and genetic parameters for carcass traits and primal cut production traits in Hanwoo

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology
Background: The Hanwoo industry must develop technologies that can increase the production of preferred cuts to match changing consumer trends. In this study, we aimed to estimate the genetic parameters for carcass traits (carcass weight, eye muscle area,

Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

Genetic analysis of residual feed intake adjusted for fat and carcass and performance traits in a Nellore herd

Ciência Rural
: The study of the genetic evaluation of residual feed intake adjusted for fat (RFIFat) is important for the appropriate use of feed efficiency in selection programs.

Cameras do not always take a full picture: wolf activity patterns revealed by accelerometers versus road‐positioned camera traps

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps have become an increasingly popular non‐invasive alternative to animal‐attached devices for studying wildlife behaviour. This study compared wolf (Canis lupus) activity patterns derived from collar accelerometers and road‐positioned camera traps and revealed strong overall agreement but also important seasonal and diel mismatches between ...
