Osteomyelitis is the leading cause of total carcass condemnation in finishing pigs Portugal, causing significant economic losses swine production. The present study sought to determine a possible link between osteomyelitis pig carcasses, pre-slaughter factors, and concomitant post-mortem inspection findings. For this purpose, meat data were collected from 100,489 slaughtered northern Portuguese abattoir. Information regarding condemnation, slaughter season, origin, sex, tail-biting lesions,...
Skin lesions are iceberg indicators of animal welfare. The study the bruises in pig carcasses allows inference how and when a traumatic moment that resulted injury occurred, as well its severity. A cross-sectional to investigate association between pre-slaughter factors type skin cross-breed fattening domestic pigs was performed on 300 slaughtered slaughterhouse Northern Portugal. Data sex animals, animals? origin, transport time lairage were collected. evaluated according location (region)...
Freshwater mussels are a critically imperiled group of mollusks that play key ecological roles and provide important services to humans. The Ambleminae is the only subfamily these mussels, endemic North America. Complete mitogenomes have been sequenced for two five tribes subfamily. Pleurobema oviforme, Amblema plicata, Popenaias popeii each belong Pleurobemini, Amblemini, Popenaidini, respectively, not had published mitogenomes. Thus, this study aims present complete species, phylogeny...
In this study, we present an announcement of Novaya Zemlya Collared Lemming Dicrostonyx torquatus ungulatus (von Baer, 1841) complete mitogenome. This rodent was described historically as Arctic subspecies endemic to (Arctic Russia) but its taxonomic status unclear due the lack available molecular data. Based on a comprehensive mitogenomic phylogeny Lemming, show that insular population shares highly divergent mtDNA sequence (total length 16,341 bp). Hence, it should be considered valid...
Respiratory diseases have a great impact in the swine production industry. Macroscopic lesions lungs are often detected during routine post-mortem inspection slaughterhouse, with enzootic pneumonia-like (EP-like lesions) and pleuritic being most common. EP-like lesions, which primary related Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection, characterised by consolidation areas, demarcated purple or grey areas lungs. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is respiratory pathogen suggestive associated previous...
Lesions in the seminal vesicle are described most used protocols for prostate cancer (PCa) induction. This study aimed to characterize lesions of vesicles associated with a protocol PCa induction rats contribute better characterization this model.Forty-five male Wistar Unilever were randomly divided into two control groups: CONT1 (n=10) and CONT2 (n=10); PCa-induced IND1 IND2 (n=15), sacrificed at 35 61 weeks, respectively. Animals from induced groups exposed multistep Animals, dorsolateral...
