Use of regularized quantile regression to predict the genetic merit of pigs for asymmetric carcass traits [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2018
: The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of regularized quantile regression (RQR) to predict the genetic merit of pigs for asymmetric carcass traits, compared with the Bayesian lasso (Blasso) method.

Behaviour, heart rate, and heart rate variability in pigs exposed to novelty

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2016
In the present study, we investigated behavioural responses and determined parameters of heart rate variability (HRV) to elucidate a relative activation of autonomic nervous system (ANS) during baseline (10 min) and in response to potentially stressful ...

Dietary nitrate supplementation prevents radiotherapy-induced xerostomia

eLife, 2021
Management of salivary gland hypofunction caused by irradiation (IR) therapy for head and neck cancer remains lack of effective treatments. Salivary glands, especially the parotid gland, actively uptake dietary nitrate and secrete it into saliva.

Thermoregulation in the wild boar (Sus scrofa)

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2023
AbstractThe wild boar (Sus scrofa) originates from warm islands but now inhabits large areas of the world, with Antarctica as the only continent not inhabited by this species. One might be tempted to think that its wide distribution results from increasing environmental temperatures.

Helmintos e protozoários em fezes de javalis (Sus scrofa scrofa) criados em cativeiro Helminths and protozoa in wild boars (Sus scrofa scrofa) feces raised in captivity

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2004
Faecal samples from 79 wild boars (Sus scrofa scrofa) were examined by sedimentation method, zinc sulfate flotation method, and centrifugal flotation in sugar solution for endoparasites research. The results showed that 97.5% of the samples were positive
