Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

ASIP Variants in Livestock: It's Not Black and White

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fur and feather pigmentation play an important role in the survival and reproduction of many species, as well as in selective breeding and agriculture. The synthesis of pigment molecules, eumelanin and pheomelanin, is partially regulated by the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) encoded by the ASIP gene.

Malignant Hyperthermia in Alpaca (Vicugna pacos)

Acta Scientiae Veterinariae
Background: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a metabolic myopathy that affects several species, including humans; it occurs because of a sudden increase in calcium in the muscle fibers in genetically susceptible individuals. In camelids, such as alpacas, it is related to heat stress, caused, for example, by an environment with high temperatures. However,
