Non-Linear Mixed Models for the Characterization of Growth Trajectory Measured by Ultrasound of 'San Pedreño' Creole Pig Breed From Colombia. [PDF]
Vet Med SciUsing real‐time ultrasound images taken in vivo, the thickness of back fat and the longissimus dorsi muscle width can be estimated in ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs. ABSTRACT The aim was to identify non‐linear regression models, under the context of mixed models, to describe the growth trajectory of ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs based on two muscular ...

Embryo culture in presence of oviductal fluid induces DNA methylation changes in bovine blastocysts [PDF]
, 2017 During the transit through the oviduct, the early embryo initiates an extensive DNA methylation reprogramming of its genome. Given that these epigenetic modifications are susceptible to environmental factors, components present in the oviductal milieu ...

Modulation of glycolisis and the pentose phosphate pathway influences porcine oocyte in vitro maturation [PDF]
, 2013 Glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) activities were modulated in porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) during in vitro maturation (IVM) by the addition of inhibitors or stimulators of key enzymes of the pathways to elucidate their relative ...

Assessing losses of genetic variability in the endangered Mallorquí horse
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2010 Information contained in the studbook of the endangered Mallorquí horse was analysed to assess the genetic variability of the breed. Also, the effect of selection for coat colour variation was assessed using a set of 15 microsatellites genotyped on 68 ...
