Hair may be a useful matrix to detect cumulative cortisol concentrations in studies of animal welfare and chronic stress. The aim this study was validate protocol for detection hair from dairy cattle by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Seventeen adult Holstein–Friesian cows were used during the milking period. concentration assessed 25-day-old samples taken frontal region head, analysing black white coloured separately. Concentrations metabolites determined faeces collected twice week same period...
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) prevalence has been minimally investigated in wild boar; dynamics of infection and viral tissue distribution are currently unknown. In this study, serum samples from 518 boar (from years 2004 to 2018) were used study frequency infection. Also, 19 captured recaptured at least two times for a period time 1 month year collected determine PCV-3 dynamics. Finally, elucidate DNA organic distribution, sera, different tissues faeces obtained 35 additional boar. was...
This study aimed to examine whether the addition of glutathione ethyl ester (GSH-OEt) in vitro maturation (IVM) medium would improve resilience bovine oocytes withstand vitrification. The effects GSH-OEt on spindle morphology, levels reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial activity and distribution, embryo developmental potential were assessed together with expression genes a role apoptosis (BAX, BCL2), oxidative-stress pathways (GPX1, SOD1), water channels (AQP3), implantation (IFN-τ)...
There is a considerable lack of information concerning marine invertebrate sensitivity to sound exposure. However, recent findings on cuttlefish and octopi showed that exposure artificial noise had direct consequence the functionality physiology statocysts, sensory organs, which are responsible for their equilibrium movements in water column. Owing available data deep diving cephalopod species, we conducted comparative experiment one Mediterranean squid, Illex coindetii, European squid...
The measure of corticosterone (CORT) in feathers has been recently recognized as a valid and easily obtainable chronic glucocorticoids secretion avian species. This provides meaningful interpretations how individuals respond to environmental perturbations. growing interest the public toward animal-food production welfare shows need for improving expanding objective tools evaluate this issue. present study evaluates whether it is possible detect CORT broiler feathers, thus, assess if would be...
Abstract The responsiveness of the hypothalamic–pituitary‐adrenocortical axis to stressors is crucial for wild animals survive and adapt environmental changes without compromising individual welfare. We analysed influence prior weather conditions, seasonality, influx ecotourism, nutrition on stress levels in a population red deer Mediterranean hunting reserve Pre‐Pyrenees, Spain. used faecal cortisol metabolites as proxy physiological psychological stress, triiodothyronine an indicator...
ABSTRACT Blood serum (BS) and seminal plasma (SP) share a plethora of compounds that might present an individual and/or temporal concentration variation. We aimed to determine whether BS SP concentrations albumin, calcium, citrate, creatinine, fructose, glucose, lactate, total protein, urea, zinc, cortisol, anti‐Müllerian hormone (AMH) testosterone are related weekly collections in New Zealand White (NZW) adult rabbit bucks. During 12‐week study, blood samples were obtained at the beginning...
ABSTRACT Assessing steroid hormones through feces provides invaluable insight on the stress and reproductive physiology of wildlife, has been broadly applied to monitor health welfare wild animals managed under human care. This study utilized fecal hormone monitoring evaluate adrenal gonadal activity in 18 captive lions ( Panthera leo ) across five Spanish zoological institutions, focusing how biological management factors affect these metrics. We analyzed glucocorticoid metabolites (FGM)...
The present study marks a significant step forward in validating the use of skin biopsies for measuring reproductive steroid hormones sharks. Given conservation concerns surrounding many chondrichthyan species and growing emphasis on adhering to 3R principles wildlife research, we should prioritize acquisition data through non-destructive or minimally invasive sampling techniques collected remotely. Dart biopsy samples can be remotely, without need chase, capture, restrain animal....
