Temperature-humidity index – an indicator for prediction of heat stress in dairy cows
 
In this review Dimov et al., 2020 wrote about the factors that induce heat stress (HS), what HS induces in the animal body and the importance of Temperature Humidity Index (THI) as an alert. It is an important review.

Ovarian Cyst, Dairy cows, Stress

Image
Ovarian Cyst Ovarian cyst is an abnormal follicular structure that forms due to ovulation failure, reaching larger diameter than ovarian follicle and persists for ≥10 days. This structure may regress spontaneously, stay permanently or be luteinized (Ball & Peter, 2004; Noakes et al., 2018), (Figure. 1). Ovarian cyst is more common in dairy than beef cows, especially in high milk production cows. It often occurs during the postpartum period (Hafez & Hafez, 2000; Noakes et al., 2018, Peter et al., 2009). Peter et al. (2018) consider the ovarian cyst as a development of anestrous case of persistence structures of dominant follicles, but Noakes et al. (2018) do not consider the importance of CL absence in this case. The failure in luteinizing hormone (LH) releasing mechanism is the most evident cause of ovarian cyst which is not related to deficiency in Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) but it is related to low sensitivity of hypothalamic-pituitary axis to elevated secretion of...

A previsão da produção de blastocistos via clivagem

Image
  A previsão da produção de blastocistos via clivagem O zigoto (a primeira célula embrionária) forma-se em média de 24 horas após a fecundação [1], em 24 horas seguidas, podemos observar embriões de 2 ou 4 blastômeros sendo que na divisão normal esses blastômeros apresentam um tamanho igual [2]. Mas este pode indicar a produção futura dos blastocistos? Sim, visto que a clivagem normal 48 horas após a fecundação apresenta chance maior de desenvolvimento para blastocistos em comparação com os seus análogos atrasados [2,3]. A pergunta: como podemos verificar as anormalidades morfológicas da clivagem? Concordamos que as células devem ser uniformes (a, na figura), então um desvio deste padrão pode ser considerado anormalidade tendo como exemplos: a.        Embrião de duas células não uniformes [2,4] (b, na figura). b.  Embriões de duas células com fragmentos separados no espaço perivitelino [4] (c, setas amarelas na figura). b.   ...
