There are numerous recent studies highlighting sustainability problems for the development of ruminant production systems (RPS) while facing increasing human food necessities and global climate change. Despite complexity context, in our view main objectives ruminants' physiologist should be convergent both industrialized (IC) developing countries (DC) a common strategy advancing knowledge. In DC, this means improving efficiency RPS, taking into account unique possibility using rangelands....
Agroecology offers a scientific and operational framework for redesigning animal production systems (APS) so that they better cope with the coming challenges. Grounded in stimulation valorization of natural processes to reduce inputs pollutions agroecosystems, it opens challenging research agenda science community. In this paper, we identify key issues define agenda. We first stress need assess robustness by measurable traits, analyze trade-offs between adaptation traits at within-breed...
Abstract Body reserves (BR) mobilization (BRM) and accretion (BRA) are crucial biological processes in ruminants that help them manage negative energy balance adapt to changing environments. The BR dynamics (BRD) is affected by the interplay of key factors such as farming system (FS) characteristics, physiological stage (PhySt), parity (Par) or cohort (Coh) ewes, well litter size (LSi) at lambing during suckling. This study aimed evaluate effects contrasting FS (intensive, indoor (IND) vs....
Summary. Surgery in haemophilic patients with inhibitor against factor (F)VIII or FIX is high risk. may be performed the administration of sufficiently dose FVIII low‐response who, despite having a response, present low titre at time surgery. The use doses FX more complicated low‐titre inhibitor, as there risk anaphylactic reactions. In case high‐titre inhibitors, several treatments have been proposed, such porcine FVIII, recombinant FVIIa (rFVIIa), and activated prothrombin complex...
A tremendous evolution has taken place in the field of equine reproduction during past decade.Advanced techniques, such as ovum pick up combined with intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer, have become more routine procedures warmblood breeding.These techniques allow 'popular' mares to produce multiple foals per year via surrogate mares.The latter impression that only a limited number popular stallions are preferred by breeders due strong selection, could generate fast-paced...
Abstract A simple and cheap oxidative procedure using 30% H2O2 catalytic SeO2 allows to transform 2-aralkylidenecycloalkanones hydroxy- or alkoxybenzaldehydes give, in high yields, enollactones arylformates, respectively.
The main limitation for determining feed efficiency of freely grazing ruminants is measurement daily individual intake. This paper describes an investigation that assessed a method estimating intake forage based on changes in BW ewes. A total 24 dry and non-pregnant Romane ewes (12 hoggets, HOG; mean±SD 51.8±2.8 kg BW; body condition score (BCS) 2.6±0.2; 12 adults, ADU; 60.4±8.5 BCS 2.7±0.8) were selected the study moved from their rangeland system to confined pen with controlled conditions...
Animal robustness may be defined as a complex trait characterizing the ability of an individual to adapted, productive and healthy under contrasted fluctuating environmental situations. Such is now considered essential criterion in order meet more ambitious goals farming sustainability. In ruminants, one key mechanisms via which expressed capacity mobilize or restore body reserves (BR) cope with challenges negative energy balances. The objectives this work were follows: 1) estimate genetic...
Breeding for resilience requires a better understanding of intra-flock variability and the related mechanisms responsible robustness traits. Among such traits, animals' ability to cope with feed fluctuations by mobilizing or restoring body reserves (BR) is key mechanism in ruminants. The objective this work was characterize individual BR dynamics productive Romane ewes reared extensive conditions. profiles were characterized combining longitudinal measurements BW condition scores (BCS) over...
