RESUMEN.- En el caso del Instituto Nacional de Investigación Agropecuaria (INIA) de Uruguay, en el marco del Plan Estratégico Institucional 2016-2020 con visión 2030, se definió como uno de los lineamientos estratégicos mejorar los indicadores de cantidad y calidad de publicaciones científicas arbitradas. El artículo que se propone presentará los resultados obtenidos del estudio, permitiendo la discusión acerca de la pertinencia estratégica, la evolución, la conformación de grupos de trabajo y las vinculaciones institucionales en relación con la publicación de artículos científicos.

RESUMEN.- La realidad dinámica de los procesos de investigación y desarrollo tecnológico en el sector agropecuario nacional, generada por cambios abruptos en la demanda de alimentos y sus características, sistemas de certificaciones, irrupción de nuevas tecnologías (TICs), y cambios en el desarrollo del mercado tecnológico

ABSTRACT.- Despite its sociocultural and economic importance, dairy farming in Uruguay has not experienced a significant increase in cattle stocks in recent decades, partly due to low reproductive efficiency and a high risk of calf mortality. Neospora caninum is one of the primary abortive pathogens in dairy cattle; however, the economic losses caused by neosporosis in Uruguay remain uncalculated. This study aimed to assess the direct annual economic losses for the primary dairy sector (dairy farmers) due to abortions resulting from bovine neosporosis in the Uruguayan herd.

ABSTRACT.- Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) construct a structured nest with separated areas for the brood, pollen and honey that optimizes the functioning of the colony. However, in the Eucalyptus grandis plantations, bees tend to store a great amount of pollen and nectar in the brood area during the flowering period, reducing the space for the queen's egg laying. Through the python informatic program "CombCount" and an image program, the capped brood area and the proportion of cells occupied by brood, pollen or nectar during the flowering period of E.

ABSTRACT.- Bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis are primarily transmitted by the biological vector Rhipicephalus microplus. However, Anaplasma marginale may also be mechanically transmitted through the bites of haematophagous flies such as tabanids. While biological transmission by ticks is the predominant route for Babesia species, some reports suggest that mechanical transmission via fomites contaminated with merozoites may occur. Additionally, mechanical vectors such as tabanids may contribute to the spread of the disease.

ABSTRACT.- Erigeron species form a complex of weed species that have evolved herbicide resistance in Uruguay. Genetic studies using seeds from different biotypes are frequently conducted to understand how this evolution occurred. However, these seeds are extremely small, and there is limited information available on their long-term conservation in germplasm banks.

ABSTRACT.- The global rise in afforestation highlights the need for improved forestry practices, underscoring the demand for enhanced management strategies and research. Integrated intercropping systems offer sustainable solutions, promoting biodiversity and ecosystem health. This research explored the long-term effects of weed control and row spacing on eucalyptus (Eucalyptus grandis) and pinus (Pinus taeda), intercropped with switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), within a Uruguayan setting.

ABSTRACT.- We reviewed the history, epidemiology, clinical signs, pathology, pathogenesis, treatment, control, and prophylaxis of Sorghum poisoning in livestock. Economic losses in the livestock industry associated with sorghum have been reported since the 19th century. Hyperacute/acute poisoning associated with cyanide (HCN) or nitrate/nitrite frequently occurs in ruminants that consume high quantities of growth and regrowth sorghum after drought, followed by rainfall, respectively.
