Azoxystrobin is a broad-spectrum strobilurin fungicide for use on wide range of crops available to end-users as formulated products. Due its extensive application, it has been detected in aquatic ecosystems, raising concerns about environmental impact, which still poorly explored. The objective this work was study the effects commercial formulation azoxystrobin zebrafish embryo model. Sublethal and lethal were monitored during exposure period from 2 h post fertilisation (hpf) 96 hpf after...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen (Ag) test has been increasingly applied as an effective alternative to conventional molecular tests allowing rapid and affordable diagnosis, which is of paramount relevance achieve global elimination HCV infection.ARCHITECT® Ag was evaluated in comparison with RNA quantification (CAP/CTM) calculate its sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative (NPV) determine their correlation level. Its performance, according low high viral load...
Aquaculture procedures such as capturing, handling, and transporting fish can lead to stress in animals. For this reason, anaesthesia has been recommended reduce during these procedures. Synthetic natural anaesthetics tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) eugenol (monoterpene) are commonly used; however, biochemical changes aversive effects have reported. Other monoterpene compounds thymol menthol, shown potential anaesthetic species. Thus, further investigation of its properties seems...
Abstract Animal welfare is a growing concern in aquaculture practices. Stress induced by handling or transportation can lead to negative impacts on the sector. Zebrafish has raised as an important model, but still with few focus its stress response early life stages. Therefore, objective of this study was improve evaluation different markers after event zebrafish larvae model. (96 hpf) were vortex-stimulated for 1 min at 200 rpm acute induction. After 10 min, 1- and 4-h behavioral outcomes...
The improper use of synthetic fungicides has raised public concerns related to environmental pollution and animal health. Over the years, plant-derived antifungals have been investigated as safer alternatives, although little scientific evidence its neurodevelopmental effects exist. main objective this study was explore three alternative natural extracts (Equisetum arvense, Mimosa tenuiflora, Thymol) with antifungal properties during early development zebrafish by evaluating different...
(1) Background: Autochthonous breeds meat is well accepted due to its sensory characteristics, perceived low environmental impact, and animal welfare. We aimed evaluate the effect of weaning slaughter age on physicochemical characteristics
Arouquesa is an autochthonous bovine breed known for its PDO beef labeling. There are several production systems under the definition of This study aimed to compare effect different on carcass and meat traits breed. Two trials differing in diet weaning age were conducted. The first trial included a TF group fed traditional way weaned at 9 months; + S1 group, equal TF, but with starter supplement; finally, S2 that was growth supplement 5 months. second composed S3 like reared until 12 months...
