Effects of 2, 4, 5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic Acid on Swiss-Webster Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
Pure and Commercial samples of the herbicide 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5- T) were tested on Swiss-Webster mice for: (1) interruption of the estrus cycle and (2) teratogenic effects.

Detection of Estrus by Three Methods

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 1977
Estrus was detected by three methods in 88 postpartum Holstein cows housed in tie-stalls and allowed free activity 1 to 2 h daily in separate exercise lots. Cows in each of three groups were observed visually for standing estrus by herdsmen. Cows (31) in Group I were observed only visually and served as controls, cows (33) in Group II were fitted with ...

Ultrasonic Vocalization Acoustics After Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury and Recovery

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Reliable and functional biomarkers in animal models of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury are needed to ensure translation of treatments from the laboratory to the clinic. This study aimed to investigate the impact of RLN injury on rodent ultrasonic vocalization (USV) acoustics in both acute and chronic stages of injury.

Features of reproduction and assisted reproduction in the white (Ceratotherium simum) and black (Diceros bicornis) rhinoceros [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite the worldwide increase of rhinoceros calf numbers, the growth of the population of white and black rhinoceros is slowing down mainly due to anthropogenic causes, such as poaching and habitat loss.

Factors affecting expression of estrus measured by activity monitors and conception risk of lactating dairy cows.

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2015
The objective of this study was to determine risk-factors affecting increase in physical activity during estrus and pregnancy per artificial insemination (P/AI) in lactating dairy cows. Cows were monitored continuously by 2 automated activity monitors [a

Synchronization of Estrus in Heifers

open access: yesThe Professional Animal Scientist, 2003
Numerous procedures have been developed to manipulate the estrous cycle of heifers to maximize the number that are in estrus during a short, predefined period with normal fertility-synchronized estrus. Early procedures consisted of synthetic progestins alone [melengestrol acetate; MGA® (Pharmacia and Upjohn Company, Kalamazoo, MI)], prostaglandin F2α ...

The effect of exogenous glucose infusion on early embryonic development in lactating dairy cows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
peer-reviewedThe objective of this study was to examine the effect of intravenous infusion of glucose on early embryonic development in lactating dairy cows. Nonpregnant, lactating dairy cows (n = 12) were enrolled in the study (276 ± 17 d in milk). On d

Feeding characteristics and rumination time of dairy cows around estrus.

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2015
Against the background of decreasing reproduction efficiency, estrus detection is gaining increased importance. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes of feeding characteristics and rumination time in dairy cows in the days around estrus ...

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

open access: yesPeople 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.

Perfil de progesterona e intervalo ao estro de receptoras bovinas sincronizadas com doses reduzidas de cloprostenol Profile of progesterone and interval to estrus in bovine embryo recipients synchronized with reduced cloprostenol doses

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2005
Objetivou-se comparar os efeitos da aplicação de diferentes doses de cloprostenol sódico (doses equivalentes a 50% da convencional), nas vias intramuscular (IM) ou intra-vulvosubmucosa (IVSM), sobre as taxas de sincronização, o intervalo da aplicação ao ...
