Genomic Prediction and Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Heat Tolerance for Milk Yield in Buffaloes Using a Reaction Norm Model. [PDF]

J Anim Breed Genet
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of incorporating genomic information on the estimation of genetic (co)variance components and the accuracy of breeding values for milk yield under varying thermal environments, and to identify SNPs associated with genes that play significant roles in heat tolerance.

Genetic Parameter Estimation for Pregnancy Loss and Their Association With Reproductive and Growth Traits in Brahman Cattle Under Extensive Tropical Conditions. [PDF]

J Anim Breed Genet
ABSTRACT This study estimated genetic parameters for pregnancy loss (PL) in Brahman cattle and evaluated the genetic correlation of PL with growth and reproductive traits using both the pedigree relationship matrix (A) and pedigree plus genomic relationship matrix (H). Data were collected from two herds in Bolivia, focusing on three age groups: heifers,

Evaluation of systemic consequences of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome in dogs

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) results from upper airway anatomical abnormalities and may cause systemic effects depending on severity. Methods A prospective, case‒control and observational study was conducted.

Genetic and Phenotypic Correlations Among Growth, Disease Occurrence, and Reproductive Performance From Calf to Heifer in Girolando Dairy Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Girolando breed, a cross between Holstein (Bos taurus) and Gir (Bos indicus), is the primary choice for dairy production in Brazilian tropical regions, as it combines high productive potential with adaptation to the tropical environment.

Stability of Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteins in Dogs and Cats: Effects of Refrigeration and Freezing Over Time

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The quantification of protein levels is an important part of standard cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. However, delays in processing due to shipment and/or laboratory opening schedules, combined with the need to preserve sample stability during storage, pose critical challenges to ensuring accurate diagnoses.

Trichoderma Mobilizes Phosphorus and Cobalt While Excluding Sodium in the Foliar Ionome of High‐Andean Grasses Enriched With Biochar

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
This graph shows how guinea pig manure biochar raises the pH in high‐Andean soils (4150 m). Although biochar improves soil quality, nutrient uptake depends on the microorganism: Trichoderma sp. alters the foliar ionome by increasing P and Co and excluding Na, while micronutrients maintain their homeostasis depending on the species. ABSTRACT Acidic high‐

Nutritional characterization of Cusco green tea and its synergistic effect with omega‐3 on metabolic and cognitive dysfunctions in obese rats

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 9, Page 5643-5657, July 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Obesity and its metabolic complications, such as insulin resistance and cognitive decline, remain a global health challenge. Green tea (Camelia sinensis) and ω‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are recognized for their antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.

Renal Perfusion in Healthy Horses: A Feasibility Study With Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 67, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the feasibility of contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for evaluating renal perfusion in horses and compared perfusion parameters between age groups. In a prospective study, eight healthy horses were divided into young (3–5 years, n = 4) and old (16–17 years, n = 4) groups.

Genetic Diversity of the Beta‐Casein Gene in Brown Swiss and Creole Cattle From the Peruvian Highlands

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cattle's milk and derivatives are essential for human nutrition. However, up to 90% of people experience gastrointestinal discomfort after consumption. Milk digestibility depends on its protein composition. Casein, about 80% of milk proteins, includes beta‐casein (CSN2) with two variants: A1 and A2. The A1 variant is linked to gastrointestinal

Genotype‐By‐Environment Interaction for Scrotal Circumference in Young Nellore Bulls Under Pasture and Feedlot Conditions and Its Correlation With Days to Calving

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Scrotal circumference (SC) is a key reproductive indicator in beef cattle and an important predictor of male puberty and correlated female fertility. In this study, we evaluated young Nellore bulls raised under combinations of pasture and feedlot environments and modeled SC using a “double” reaction norm model. Additive genetic variance for SC
