Abstract:
... Quality, content and properties of colostrum are crucial for the neonate and its further development. Due to essential differences between intrauterine and extrauterine environment, the neonate is exposed to oxidative stress conditions. Colostrum apart from nutrient and immunological components should contain antioxidative systems necessary for the protection against reactive oxygen species. This ...

Abstract:
... In the early part of the 20th century, veterinarians began to perform Caesarean section (CS) in cows. At first, it was a final remedy to save the calf and/or the cow in more complicated obstetrical cases. As in Belgium, the Belgian Blue (BB) breed has become the predominant beef breed, CS are currently performed on a routine basis in daily practice. The overwhelming success of the breed is based o ...

Abstract:
... Many reports described cell lines derived in domestic species, which presented several important features typical of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Such features unfortunately did not include the capacity to generate germ-line chimeras, therefore limiting the possibility to use these cells as tools for the genetic manipulation. However, farm animal ESCs may still be useful for the generation of tran ...

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a powerful technique in the field of assisted reproduction (ART) and provides exciting opportunities for studying the basic mechanisms of fertilization and early embryo development. Nevertheless, its application in agriculture and conservation biology has been greatly hampered by the low success rate reported for this method in respect of economically imp ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this study was to determine whether measurements of certain metabolic (non‐esterified fatty acid, β‐hydroxybutyrate, glucose, total protein, albumin, urea‐nitrogen, aspartate aminotransferase, total calcium, inorganic phosphate and magnesium) and endocrine (cortisol, thyroxine, triiodothyronine, insulin and insulin‐like growth factor) parameters in the peripartal period (2 months and 3  ...

Abstract:
... The sheep callipyge (CLPG) phenotype, a well‐known muscular hypertrophy syndrome, is caused by an A‐to‐G transition in the CLPG1 locus. The mechanisms of CLPG phenotype are very complicated and remain to be further studied. Lacking suitable animal models containing CLPG mutations may partially contribute to these unanswered mechanisms. In this study, we confirmed that the CLPG1 locus, especially t ...

Abstract:
... In order to study the effect of undernutrition during gestation on the testicular development in rats and its impact on mitosis, apoptosis and the relative abundance of androgen receptor expression, twenty primiparous 3‐month‐old Sprague–Dawley (Rattus norvegicus) rats, weighing 246 ± 4.0 grams when the experiment began, were mated by the same male. Control group (CG), n = 10, fed ad libitum with ...

Abstract:
... A survey of in vivo fertility data from 31 pig farms distributed worldwide was conducted to determine whether stimulating boar semen with LED‐based red light increases its reproductive performance following artificial insemination (AI). Red‐light stimulation with MaXipig® was found to increase farrowing rates (mean ± SEM, control: 87.2% ± 0.4% vs. light stimulation 90.3% ± 0.5%) and the number of ...

Abstract:
... For the neonatal patient, precocity of diagnosis is crucial for effectiveness of medical approach. However, the newborn has its own physiological peculiarities due to ongoing adaptive mechanism for extrauterine life and deserves special attention in order to underline a specific management or clinical approach. The objective of this work was to verify clinical adaptations and biochemical balance o ...

Abstract:
... Protein profile of the placenta expresses its function and maintenance. Any alterations can be reflected in qualitative and quantitative changes in this profile. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of protein profile in the placenta of mares suffering from the retention of foetal membranes (FMR) by two separation methods and the comparison with physiologically released tissues. Placent ...
