The study aimed to characterize muscle fiber type of the pectoralis major slow-growing chickens belonging Padovana local breed, commercial strain Berlanda gaina, and their cross. Forty-five (both males females) from different genotypes were grown up 180 d. Histochemical morphometrical analyses performed types, myofiber density, size genotypes. effects genotype, sex, interaction estimated. Muscle samples appeared almost entirely made IIB type, whereas a low percentage area (5 6%) was composed...
The photodynamic sensitizer hematoporphyrin (HP) IX was efficiently accumulated by Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fruit fly) and Bactrocera oleae (olive when the insects were fed with a sugar/protein bait containing micromolar amounts of porphyrin. Hematoporphyrin appeared to be mainly in midgut, Malpighian tubes, adipose tissue cuticle gradually cleared from organism 24-48 h time interval. Exposure HP-fed flies light mimicking solar spectrum caused decrease survival whose extent...
The structure of the photophores (luminous organs) two species deep‐sea fishes from Strait Messina, Argyropelecus hemigymnus and Maurolicus muelleri , was examined. Although significant structural differences were identified between species, especially in photophore organization distribution, ultrastructural comparisons indicated a marked similarity them. photocytes exhibited numerous secretory granules, different electron density, embedded an extremely developed rough endoplasmic reticulum....
A trial was carried out to study the head and skull characteristics in a crested chicken breed with cerebral hernia located frontal bony protuberance, an uncrested hybrid strain their relative crosses. Males females from five genotypes were used: two Padovana varieties (two colour plumages: argentata, silver -PA- camosciata, chamois -PC-), cross (PCxPA), commercial single comb medium-growing (Berlanda gaina [B]) between PC B (PCxB). As regards dimensions showed heavier, longer, wider than...
Male chickens belonging to three Italian purebreds – Ermellinata di Rovigo (ER), Robusta lionata (RL) and maculata (RM) were studied. All the birds reared under same rearing conditions (from May until autumn). Chickens infra-red lamps from birth 4 weeks of age with a 24L:0D photoperiod. Then they kept outdoor: photoperiod changed according season 16L:8D 12L:12D). At 138 168 days 20 birds/breed weighed then slaughtered. Testicular samples collected, after evisceration, processed embedded in...
Genomic selection has been increasingly implemented in the animal breeding industry, and it is becoming a routine method many livestock contexts. However, its use still limited several small-population local breeds, which are, nonetheless, an important source of genetic variability great economic value. A major roadblock for their genomic accuracy when population size limited: to improve value accuracy, variable models that assume heterogenous variance have proposed over last few years....
Brunner's glands are branched tubulo-acinar principally located within the lamina propria and submucosa of small intestine mammals. Previous histochemical studies in cattle have shown that glandular lobules can be divided into two parts: a peripheral part, corresponding to terminal tracts gland, central pre-terminal secretory duct gland. Aim our study was perform an ultrastructural investigation verify whether partition gland corresponded presence different cell types, as described other...
