Abstract:
... An investigation of vascularity of ovarian and uterine arteries after hormonal treatment for inactive ovaries using the short-term progesterone-based programme had not yet been explored in repeat-breeder crossbred dairy cows. To investigate the in vivo follicular and uterine arterial indices as an indicator of successful hormonal stimulation for inactive ovaries in repeat-breeder crossbred dairy c ...

Abstract:
... SOCIETAL IMPACT STATEMENT: Genetic engineering is used to introduce new genes into plants to obtain crops with novel traits. However, the unintended effects of genetically engineered (GE) crops on nontarget organisms—such as beneficial insects—are a topic of much concern. We evaluate the potential unintended effects of pollen from three GE maize and seven commercialized conventional maize lines on ...

Abstract:
... The present study was conducted to examine the effect of conventional the Ovsynch protocol (OVS) and a modified Ovsynch synchronization (GPGMH) protocol on the follicular dynamics, estrus, ovulation, and pregnancy in nulliparous and multiparous crossbred (swamp × riverine) buffaloes during different seasons. GPGMH or OVS protocols were used to synchronize nulliparous (n = 128; GPGMH = 94, OVS = 34 ...

Abstract:
... Pregnancy is a complicated physiological process that involves synchronized coordination between immune and endocrine systems. Neutrophils have been suggested as a critical immune cell for embryo implantation and pregnancy maintenance. The present study was conducted to evaluate the dynamic changes in the mRNA expressions of the cluster of designation (CD11b, CD31, CD44 and CD62L) molecules and in ...

Abstract:
... This study was conducted to compare productive performance between purebred Thai indigenous black-bone chickens and their reciprocal crossbreds. Four different genetic groups were studied: 2 purebreds (Chee Fah and Fah Luang) and 2 crossbreds (Chee Fah x Fah Luang and Fah Luang x Chee Fah). The results showed that Fah Luang x Chee Fah had the significantly highest body weight at birth and 20-week ...

Abstract:
... Genomic predictions have been applied for dairy cattle for more than a decade with great success, but genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) are not widely available for crossbred dairy cows. The large reference populations already in place for genomic evaluations of many pure breeds makes it interesting to use the accurate solutions, in particular the estimated marker effects, from these evalua ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease that is found globally and affects most mammalian species. Vaccination of dogs against leptospirosis is an important approach to preventing clinical disease, or reducing disease severity, as well as reducing transmission of the infection to humans. Although it is generally considered to be a ‘core’ vaccine, there is limited information on the level o ...

Abstract:
... South African indigenous breeds’ population is decreasing at a time when their genetic material is mandatory due to the rising climate change and global warming. South African indigenous sheep breeds include Namaqua Afrikaner, Zulu, BaPedi, and Damara sheep. These breeds are the most preferred breeds by rural farmers in South Africa due to their adaptability, low feed, and veterinary requirements. ...

Abstract:
... The objectives of this study were to estimate the effects of direct additive and dominance on litter traits and to predict the reproduction of un-tested crossbred sows between Danish Yorkshire (Y) and Danish Landrace (L) pigs in Vietnam. Litter traits data were obtained between 2014 and 2017 in Binh Thang and Khang Minh An breeding farms, with 671 litters of crossbred sows crossed from 1,308 litte ...

Abstract:
... A study was carried out to find the influence of different dietary protein levels on milk of dairy cows during the transition period. Twenty cross bred HF cows, three weeks prior to their expected date of calving were randomly allotted to two dietary treatments - T1 (12 per cent CP (crude protein) TMR (Total Mixed Ration)) and T2 (14 per cent CP TMR). After calving, half of the animals in T1 were ...

Abstract:
... In Vietnam, local chicken breeds account for over 70% of the national poultry population. Although these breeds are abundant, their productivity is low and their use is threatened by the extensive importation of foreign productive breeds. In this context, conservation programmes targeting several emblematic breeds have been established. The goal of these programmes was to characterize endangered b ...

Abstract:
... OBJECTIVES: To estimate the annual incidence risk of leptospirosis diagnosis in practice‐attending dogs in the UK during 2016 and identify risk factors for diagnosis. METHODS: Incidence of leptospirosis diagnosis in dogs during 2016 was estimated from dogs in primary‐care practices from the VetCompass Programme (n = 905,543). A case‐control study of laboratory cases (n = 362) versus VetCompass con ...

Abstract:
... The aim of the research was to assess whether there was a link between serum calcium (Ca) after calving and serum progesterone, milk somatic cells count and Ca, and other blood metabolites in Achai and crossbred cows. Based on blood calcium level shortly after calving, thirty cows from both breeds were divided into a moderate group (≤10.0 mg/dl of Ca) and a high group (>10.0 mg/dl of Ca), with sam ...

Abstract:
... This study evaluated the incidence of gastritis in foals subjected to different weaning management methods. Sixteen crossbreed foals [230 ± 35 kg], were enrolled in an experiment with a randomized block design. After weaning, foals were housed in either individual pens or a group pen. Gastritis in the foals was evaluated through gastroscopy. Data were submitted to analysis of variance by the non-p ...

Abstract:
... Branding horses with permanent marks is still a routine for many breeders in many parts of the world. This method of identification is traditionally done with a hot iron, although cold or freeze branding with liquid nitrogen has been widely disseminated as a less painful method. However, there are no studies comparing freeze and hot iron branding related to horses. This study aimed to compare bran ...

Abstract:
... Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disorder of neuromuscular transmission affecting the neuromuscular junction. The majority of cases involve an autoimmune attack against AChR, but a limited number of patients are seronegative for AChR antibodies. Viral infection is incriminated as a trigger for MG occurrence, and in a limited number of reports, infection with SARS-CoV-2 was found to be associated with M ...

Abstract:
... Breed structures of Australian dairy herds over time were described for a large subset of milk‐recording herds. The focus for this study was to describe the use of crossbreeding by dairy farmers, specifically proportions of herds using crossbreeding, whether they were using two‐breed or three‐breed crossbreeding systems, and how herd‐breed structures changed over time. The most common breed struct ...

Abstract:
... On-animal sensors are revolutionising livestock farming by automating individual animal monitoring. Rumination is closely linked to cow health and physiology and is a perfect candidate for monitoring using on-animal sensors. The purpose of the current study was to determine if a tri-axial accelerometer ear-tag could be used to detect rumination behaviour in eight multiparous Angus crossbreed cows ...

Abstract:
... Several types of multibreed genomic evaluation are in use. These include evaluation of crossbreds based on purebred SNP effects, joint evaluation of all purebreds and crossbreds with a single additive effect, and treating each purebred and crossbred group as a separate trait. Additionally, putative quantitative trait nucleotides can be exploited to increase the accuracy of prediction. Existing stu ...

The aim was to evaluate the pre-weaning productive performance and growth curve of Dorper*Katahdin (DPr; n = 46), Kathadin*Kathadin (KTn; n = 204) and Romanov*Kathadin (RMv; n = 40) of commercial crossed lambs from central Mexico. We considered 1450 data from 290 crossbred lambs. The variables contemplated in this study were cross (CR), lambing type (LT), sex, birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW ...
