La ponencia trató sobre la herramienta para el manejo del riego GESIR-INIA, una aplicación web para la gestión y planificación del riego, cuya finalidad es orientar sobre estrategias de riego en diferentes condiciones de trabajo y sistemas de producción.
Increasing production efficiency is key to meet the growing global demand for animal products in the future and to improve sustainability of production systems. The aim of this work is to evaluate the correlation between different production indices that would allow to select more efficient animals within their production systems.
Mitochondrial fatty acid (FA) oxidation is a major source of energy, providing substrates for oxidative phosphorylation and ketogenesis.
Residual feed intake (RFI) has become a widely spread measure of an animal's feed efficiency. Nevertheless, although most of beef cattle production worldwide is pasture-based, RFI evaluation is usually performed in confinement conditions. The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between the heifer?s efficiency measured as RHP and the paternal (estimated breeding values) EBV for RFI.
The objective of this study was to investigate the application of BLUP and ssGBLUP in different scenarios of uncertain paternity using data from a Nellore cattle population. The analyzed data set was provided by the National Association of Farmers and Researchers (ANCP). The data set contained information from 18 Nellore herds located in the southeast and mid-west regions of Brazil, which participate in the ANCP breeding program. © American Society of Animal Science 2017
Las abejas Apis mellifera son importantes insectos polinizadores encargados del mantenimiento de ecosistemas naturales y de la producción agrícola. En los últimos años se han reportado grandes pérdidas de colmenas, siendo la intoxicación con pesticidas una de las causas.
Una de las principales enfermedades que afecta al cultivo de la papa es la marchitez bacteriana, causada por Ralstonia solanacearum. Con este trabajo se busca caracterizar la resistencia a marchitez bacteriana en germoplasma seleccionado del Programa nacional de papa y otros materiales promisorios de diverso origen.
Uruguayan Barley production has a strong dependence on modern European germplasm which combines high grain yield potential and excellent malting quality, even though it has limited adaptation to non-optimum environments due to its late flowering and reduced photoperiod sensitivity.
