Antihelminthic action of the Anethum graveolens essential oil on Haemonchus contortus eggs and larvae

Braz. j. biol; 81 (1), 2021
Abstract Gastrointestinal nematodes are responsible for great economic losses in sheep raising, and their control has long been carried out almost exclusively by the administration of anthelmintics, which have led to serious resistance problems. In the search for alternative control measures, phytotherap...

Histological comparison between biphasic calcium phosphate and deproteinized bovine bone on critical-size bone defects

Braz. dent. j; 32 (1), 2021
Abstract The limited options for bone repair have led to an extensive research of the field and the development of alloplastic and xenogeneic grafts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone repair with two bone substitutes: deproteinized bovine bone (DBB) and biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic (BC...

Classification of the sperm chromatin compaction alterations in bulls (Bos taurus) and its correlation with the efficiency of the in vitro production of embryos

Biosci. j. (Online); 37 (), 2021
This paper proposes to classify the sperm chromatin compaction alterations in bulls, according to the affected area location and its objective is evaluating the correlation of the intensity, the heterogeneity and these kinds of chromatin decompaction with the rates of cleavage and the formation of blasto...

RA92A recombinant protein as immunogen to protect cattle against tick challenge in Brazil and Uganda

Biosci. j. (Online); 37 (), 2021
In this study, the recombinant gut protein rRa92A produced in Pichia pastoris yeast cells was used to immunize cattle in two experiments, one in Brazil and the other in Uganda. In both experiments, the animals were intramuscularly (IM) injected with 200 µg of recombinant protein in Brazil on days 0, 30 ...

Phenotypic association between residual feed intake and carcass traits of young nelore bulls

Biosci. j. (Online); 37 (), 2021
The purpose of this study was to estimate the phenotypic associations between residual food intake (RFI) and carcass traits, evaluated by ultrasonography, of young Nellore bulls. Information about 53 young Nelore bulls, pure origin (PO), participants in the Individual Performance Test of Nelore Bulls, ca...

Comparisons between intake values observed and predicted by nutritional systems for confined nellore cattle

Biosci. j. (Online); 37 (), 2021
This study compared the dry matter intake (DMI) of Nellore heifers and bulls in the feedlot, predicted by the BR-Corte (2010 and 2016) and NRC (2000) nutritional systems. Hence, two experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design. The first one used 47 Nellore bulls, not castrated, with an a...

Seroprevalence of zika virus in a cattle flock

Arq. Inst. Biol; 88 (), 2021
The present research evaluated the seroprevalence of anti-zika virus (anti-ZIKV) antibodies by virus neutralization test (VNT) in 529 bovines from Andradina city, São Paulo state, Brazil. The reading was performed in an inverted optical microscope, considering reagents when the antibodies were capable t...

Proteolytic activity and degradation of bovine versus human dentin matrices

J. appl. oral sci; 29 (), 2021
Abstract Non-human teeth have been commonly used in research as replacements for human teeth, and potential dissimilarities between the dental tissues should be considered when interpreting the outcomes. Objective: To compare the proteolytic activity and degradation rate of bovine and human dentin matri...
