Bacterial, protozoal and viral abortions in sheep and goats in South America: A review.

Enviado por Anónimo (no verificado) el

Abstract:Bacterial, protozoal and viral diseases are major causes of abortion in sheep and goats. These agents cause significant economic losses, and many are considered of concern for public health (zoonotic pathogens) and/or the international trade of livestock, such as those causing diseases notifiable to the World Organization of Animal Health (OIE). In South America, information about their occurrence, prevalence and economic impact is scarce.

Siliceous and non-nutritious:Nitrogen limitation increases anti-herbivore silicon defences in a model grass.

Abstract: Silicon (Si) accumulation alleviates a diverse array of environmental stresses in many plants, including conferring physical resistance against insect herbivores. It has been hypothesised that grasses, in particular, utilise ?low metabolic cost? Si for structural and defensive roles under nutrient limitation. While carbon (C) concentrations often negatively correlate with Si concentrations, the relationship between nitrogen (N) status and Si is more variable. Moreover, the impacts of N limitation on constitutive physical Si defences (e.g.

Abstract:The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of imputation in a Gyr population using two medium-density panels (Bos taurus - Bos indicus) and to test whether the inclusion of the Nellore breed increases the imputation accuracy in the Gyr population. The database consisted of 289 Gyr females from Brazil genotyped with the GGP Bovine LDv4 chip containing 30 000 SNPs and 158 Gyr females from Colombia genotyped with the GGP indicus chip containing 35 000 SNPs.
