Modeling moisture adsorption isotherms for extruded dry pet foods
(Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2022) [Artigo]Two mathematical models were used to determine the moisture adsorption isotherm curves of dry pet foods. Ten extruded commercial diets for dogs (n = 6) and cats (n = 4) were tested within 7 days of manufacture. The equilibrium ... -
Validation of the rabbit pain behaviour scale (RPBS) to assess acute postoperative pain in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
(PLoS ONE, 2022) [Artigo]Considering the widespread use of rabbits in research that potentially causes pain and discomfort and the limited number of pain assessment validated tools in this species, we aimed to develop and validate a scale of acute ... -
Effects of Heated Tumescence Solution in Bitches after Unilateral Mastectomy
(Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2022) [Artigo]Background: Mammary tumors, for which mastectomy is the main treatment, are the most common neoplasms in bitches. Mastectomy is painful and, in order to reduce the pain stimulus in the transoperative period, tumescent local ... -
Immunophenotypical and pathological changes in dogs experimentally infected with Ehrlichia canis
(Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinaria, 2022) [Artigo]Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is one of the most important tick-borne diseases worldwide, with multisystemic presentations. Immune dysregulation has been proposed as the primary mechanism involved in its pathogenesis ... -

(Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2022) [Artigo]Background: Primary pituitary carcinoma is rarely reported in dogs and only few reports describe its malignancy. In veterinary literature, primary pituitary carcinomas correspond up to 2.4% to 3.4% of intracranial neoplasms ... -
Lateral Patellar Luxation and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) in a Dog
(Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2022) [Artigo]Background: Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by a deficiency in collagen synthesis, which can result in joint laxity. Patellar luxation is one of the main orthopedic conditions that ... -
Effect of environmental temperature and diet on the digestive response of red-footed tortoise Chelonoidis carbonaria hatchlings
(Journal Of Zoo And Aquarium Research, 2022) [Artigo]Temperature effect on digestive response is still unknown in most reptile species as is the case with the red-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis carbonaria). Hatchlings were fed with two diets, one high in fiber (14.16% crude ... -
Hemostatic and hematological profiles of horses with natural occurrence large colon impaction and medically treated
(Comparative Clinical Pathology, 2017) [Artigo]Hemostatic alterations are common abnormalities in horses with acute abdomen in critical condition. However, there are few studies regarding hemostatic alterations in horses with acute abdomen and medically treated. This ... -
Effect of orange fibre on nutrient digestibility and fermentation products in faeces of cats fed kibble diets
(Archives of Animal Nutrition, 2022) [Artigo]The aim of the present study was to compare orange fibre, beet pulp and inulin as fibre sources for cats. A control diet (CON) was formulated without inclusion of a fibre source. Further experimental diets were also based ... -
