Overcoming Competition From Intercropped Forages on Upland Rice With Optimized Nitrogen Input to Food Production in Tropical Region
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020) [Artigo]Intercropping forage grasses with upland rice is an alternative cropping system to improve agroecosystem diversification and could potentially enhance sustainability in tropical regions. However, nitrogen (N) immobilization ... -
Estimation of (co)variance components for birth weight in Nellore cattle using alternative data editing criteria
(Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2020) [Artigo]The aim of this study was to estimate the (co)variance components and breeding values for birthweight (BW) in Nellore cattle by considering or not identical weights that exhibit a high frequency within the contemporary ... -
The putative effect of a SOD-rich melon pulp-concentrate on growth performance and antioxidant status of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) under heat/dissolved oxygen-induced stress
(Aquaculture, 2020) [Artigo]This study evaluated the effects of SOD-rich melon pulp concentrate (MPC) premix on growth performance, hematological profile and the antioxidant capacity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) subjected to heat/dissolved ... -
Genome-wide identification of runs of homozygosity islands in the Gyr breed (Bos indicus)
(Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2020) [Artigo]Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous homozygous regions of the genome. These regions can be used to identify genes associated with traits of economic interest, as well as inbreeding levels. The aim of the present study ... -
Uncovering Sub-Structure and Genomic Profiles in Across-Countries Subpopulations of Angus Cattle
(Scientific Reports, 2020) [Artigo]Highlighting genomic profiles for geographically distinct subpopulations of the same breed may provide insights into adaptation mechanisms to different environments, reveal genomic regions divergently selected, and offer ... -
Fine mapping of genomic regions associated with female fertility in Nellore beef cattle based on sequence variants from segregating sires
(Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2019) [Artigo]Background: Impaired fertility in cattle limits the efficiency of livestock production systems. Unraveling the genetic architecture of fertility traits would facilitate their improvement by selection. In this study, we ... -
Bixin as natural antioxidant in broilers diet containing fresh or oxidized soybean oil
(Archives of Veterinary Science, 2020) [Artigo]The addition of oils and fats in the diet of broilers is quite common, since these ingredients are good sources of energy. However, these ingredients easily suffer deterioration through lipid oxidation, and the consumption ... -
Temperament of Nelore growing-steers receiving supplementation in grazing system: Performance, ultrasound measures, feeding behavior, and serum parameters
(Livestock Science, 2020) [Artigo]A study was performed to evaluate the temperament of beef cattle on grazing system regarding performance, ultrasound measures, feeding behavior, and physiological parameters. Twenty growing animals [Nelore; non-castrated ... -
Can Palisade and Guinea Grass Sowing Time in Intercropping Systems Affect Soybean Yield and Soil Chemical Properties?
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020) [Artigo]In tropical regions, intercropping systems under no-tillage improve biomass quantity, soil conservation, and cash crop productivity. However, the optimal sowing time for forage species in these cropping systems is unknown. ... -
Effects of Inorganic Zn and Cu Supplementation on Gut Health in Broiler Chickens Challenged With Eimeria spp.
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020) [Artigo]An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of inorganic copper and zinc on growth performance, intestinal permeability, intestinal lesion scores, oocyst shedding, antioxidant properties and bone ... -
Effects of clamping umbilical cord on the neonatal viability of puppies delivered by cesarean section
(Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2020) [Artigo]In human neonates, when the umbilical cord is kept intact postpartum, blood continues to flow to the neonate, but this procedure might be difficult in dogs owing to a shorter umbilical cord and several neonates in a litter. ... -
Short-term testicular warming under anesthesia causes similar increases in testicular blood flow in Bos taurus versus Bos indicus bulls, but no apparent hypoxia
(Theriogenology, 2020) [Artigo]Bull testes must be 4–5 °C below body temperature, with testicular warming more likely to cause poor-quality sperm in Bos taurus (European/British) versus Bos indicus (Indian/zebu) bulls. Despite a long-standing dogma that ... -
Dietary lipid level and source affect metabolic responses in hybrid catfish (Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum × Leiarius marmoratus)
(Aquaculture Research, 2020) [Artigo]This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of dietary lipid source [linseed oil (LO, rich in 18:3 n−3); corn oil (CO, rich in 18:2 n−6); olive oil (OO, rich in 18:1n−9); and fish oil (FO, rich in LC-PUFA)] and level ... -
Corn intercropped with tropical perennial grasses as affected by sidedress nitrogen application rates
(Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 2020) [Artigo]In tropical regions, one of the primary difficulties in the sustainability of no-till systems is the maintenance of soil cover throughout the year. Intercropping corn (Zea mays L.) with tropical perennial grasses is an ... -
Polyclonal antibodies as a feed additive for cattle adapted or not adapted to highly fermentable carbohydrate diets
(Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2019) [Artigo]The effect of a polyclonal antibody preparation (PAP) against Streptococcus bovis and Fusobacterium necrophorum on ruminal fermentation and digestion in ruminally cannulated cows was investigated in two 3 × 3 Latin squares ... -
Challenge with fumonisin FB1 + FB2 alters profile of fatty acids in Nile tilapia fingerlings
(Aquaculture, 2020) [Artigo]The toxicity of fumonisin (FB) has been proposed for different fish species because it causes imbalance between the sphingoid bases and impairs several cellular processes, such as cell differentiation and growth. In this ... -
