Assessment of corn wet distillers grains fed to crossbred bulls on feeding behavior, rumen morphology, liver abscesses and blood parameters
(PLoS ONE, 2022) [Artigo]Corn ethanol production has been growing in Brazil in the last ten years, generating by-products to feedlot diets. This study evaluates the effects of the inclusion of low-fat corn wet distillers grains (LF-WDG) on feeding ... -
Transcriptome Profile Reveals Genetic and Metabolic Mechanisms Related to Essential Fatty Acid Content of Intramuscular Longissimus thoracis in Nellore Cattle
(Metabolites, 2022) [Artigo]Beef is a source of essential fatty acids (EFA), linoleic (LA) and alpha-linolenic (ALA) acids, which protect against inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases in humans. However, the intramuscular EFA profile in cattle is ... -
A Random Forest-Based Genome-Wide Scan Reveals Fertility-Related Candidate Genes and Potential Inter-Chromosomal Epistatic Regions Associated With Age at First Calving in Nellore Cattle
(Frontiers in Genetics, 2022) [Artigo]This study aimed to perform a genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) using the Random Forest (RF) approach for scanning candidate genes for age at first calving (AFC) in Nellore cattle. Additionally, potential epistatic ... -
Immune response in sexual inverted and non-inverted Nile tilapia fingerlings supplemented with organic acid and essential oil
(Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 2022) [Artigo]The development and intensification of tilapia farming depends on the manipulation of some physiological functions, such as the sexual inversion of larvae using a synthetic androgen (17α-methyltestosterone). This inversion, ... -
Mandibular morphometry applied to local anaesthetic blockage in the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)
(Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series C: Anatomia Histologia Embryologia, 2022) [Artigo]Capybaras have been victims of collisions against vehicles, which can result in fractures of the teeth and mandible. Then, a local anaesthetic block of the inferior alveolar and mental nerves is important for performing ... -
Microencapsulated dietary supplementation coupled with sexual inversion improves the immune and antioxidant response of Nile tilapia larvae under stressful conditions
(Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 2022) [Artigo]In tilapia aquaculture, the cultivation of single-sex animals is extremely widespread, as it allows for the standardization of lots, in addition to improving the general performance of the animals. However, it is possible ... -
Genotype–environment interaction for milk production of Gyr cattle in Brazil and Colombia
(Genes and Genomics, 2022) [Resenha]Background: Genotype by environment interactions (G × E) can play an important role in cattle populations and should be included in breeding programs in order to select the best animals for different environments. Objective: ... -
What enzyme-modified proteins are able to do
(Value-Addition in Food Products and Processing Through Enzyme Technology, 2021) [Capítulo de livro]Enzymes are proteins specialized in the catalysis of chemical reactions, and they are applied in a wide variety of industrial sectors. In this scenario, proteases hydrolyze proteins, one of the first classes of enzymes ... -
Interactive effects of digestible protein levels on thermal and physical stress responses in Nile tilapia
(Revista Brasileira De Zootecnia-brazilian Journal Of Animal Science, 2022) [Artigo]The effects of dietary digestible protein (DP) levels (22, 26, 29, 32, and 34%) and different stressors (cold-induced stress, CIS; heat/dissolved oxygen-induced stress, HDOIS; transport-induced stress, TIS; and ... -
Transcriptomic profile of longissimus thoracis associated with fatty acid content in Nellore beef cattle
(Animal Genetics, 2022) [Artigo]The beef fatty acid (FA) profile has the potential to impact human health, and displays polygenic and complex features. This study aimed to identify the transcriptomic FA profile in the longissimus thoracis muscle in Nellore ... -
Vitamin C supplementation improves growth performance and caudal fin regeneration in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Aquaculture Nutrition, 2021) [Artigo]This study aimed to evaluate the growth performance and fin regeneration rates of zebrafish fed with diets containing levels of vitamin C (Vit C). A basal practical diet was formulated to test six levels of Vit C supplementation ... -
Genomic regions associated with the position and number of hair whorls in horses
(Animals, 2021) [Artigo]The position and number of hair whorls have been associated with the behavior, temperament, and laterality of horses. The easy observation of whorls assists in the prediction of reactivity, and thus permits the development ... -
Intake, performance, meat quality and fatty acid profile of Nellore bulls finished in feedlot with diets containing dry corn gluten feed
(Livestock Science, 2021) [Artigo]We evaluate the effects of dry corn gluten feed (DCGF) levels in the finishing diet of Nellore cattle on feed intake, performance, carcass traits, meat quality and fatty acid profile. A hundred twenty non-castrated Nellore ... -
