Salter-Harris type III fractures of the distal humerus in a four-month-old male Labrador Retriever and a male crossbreed dog (estimated to be 3.5-months-old) are reported. Both fractures were treated with open reduction and interfragmentary compression by lag screw fixation. Both fractures healed and full limb use was regained at four weeks postoperatively. The occurrence of this unusual fract...

Eventing is an equestrian discipline combining dressage, show jumping and cross-country exercises. The Spanish Sport Horse (SSH) was used in this study as an example to develop a method to ascertain the influence of parental breeds on particular performances by linking their parental genetic contribution with the individual phenotype value computing the optimal breed contribution for each trait...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in dogs is rarely reported and has not previously been documented in South Africa. A case of a stray Maltese crossbreed dog with extensive multifocal pulmonary tuberculosis due to M. tuberculosis is described. Pulmonary granulomas in this case were poorly encapsulated and contained large numbers of acid-fast bacteria, highlighting the potential for infected ...

Relevance . Poultry farming is one of the promising sectors agriculture. High growth rate and good meat quality are main factors in breeding. A convenient tool for studying phenotypic characteristics breeds crosses, as well genetic new breeding forms, creation model animal populations. Methods The aim this study was to obtain first-generation crossbreeds from crossing egg meat-egg chicken breed...

Cuts of muscle (biceps femoris) from three crossbreeds between the Nelore, Angus and Wagyu breeds cattle (Crossbreed 1 (C1): ½ Nelore; Crossbreed 2 (C2): ¾ ¼ 3 (C3): Wagyu, Nelore Angus) were characterized by their chemical composition, pH, water activity lipid oxidation. The cuts submitted to wet brining in a 5 % NaCl concentration at °C with either static brine (SB) or assisted ultrasound (US...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between polymorphism at the MnlI site of MTNR1A gene and production traits of Shal and Romanov crossbreeding. The crossbreeding between Shal and Romanov was done on 600 Shal ewes. For this reason, Shal ewes were laparoscopically and artificially inseminated with the semen of Romanov breed. For the preparation of genomic DNA, a total o...
