Abstract:

Feeds often contain molybdenum (Mo) and sulfur (S) in excess of recommended allowances for adequate copper (Cu) absorption by ruminant livestock. Two randomized-block experiments were conducted using lambs given a cereal-based diet (90% of dry matter (DM) intake), containing 8 mg Cu, 0.7 mg Mo and 2.1g S per kg DM, that was either unsupplemented or supplemented with ammonium molybdate or sodium sulfate alone or in combination, to determine the effects of Mo, S and Mo+S on growth, hematology, serum Cu and Mo concentrations and reproductive function. Short term intake (4 weeks) by rams, aged 18

Abstract:

Active immunisation against GnRH inhibits reproductive function by inducing a hypogonadotropic condition associated with gonadal atrophy. Despite economic, ethical and environmental advantages of GnRH immunisation in cattle over conventional castration methods, the technology has not yet been commercially adopted. Primarily because of the requirement for numerous booster vaccinations because of the reversibility of physiological effects, the commercial efficacy of immunocastration is currently poor. However, neonatal GnRH immunisation in sheep can result in a permanent suppression of reproduct

On sait que chez les oiseaux chanteurs le chant est le principal caractère sexuel secondaire et qu’il a une influence majeure sur la reproduction.

Le propos général de cette thèse est d’étudier l’impact du chant sur la reproduction chez le canari.

Abstract:

Accurately examining animal endocrine profiles pose unique challenges due to possible human interaction influencing basal values. Standard methods of gathering information about an animals endocrine status are often dependent upon restraint and use of invasive methodologies. However to accurately monitor the influence management practices, blood sampling sometimes requires that hormone measurements be observed from animals in a relaxed state. To this end, methods for non-invasive monitoring (NIM) are greatly needed to obtain basal endocrine measurements. Such methods include fecal collections

My PhD project addressed the paternal and maternal contribution associated with correct early embryonic development, focusing on microRNAs (miRNAs, short non-coding RNAs regulating gene expression at post-transcriptional level) involved in controlling reproductive function in cattle. To this end, next generation sequencing (NGS) methods and bioinformatic analysis pipelines were set up and validated using low quantities of starting materials, e.g. blastocysts and oocytes. The role of miRNAs carried by spermatozoa during early embryogenesis was investigated by assessing in vitro produced blastoc

Abstract:

Animals that live in a social group are often organized in a hierarchy with rank determining access to resources. Maintaining a dominant position requires a high rate of energetically expensive aggressive displays and physical exertion. Lab based winnerloser studies, often conducted with individuals from non-social species, have shown that subordinates have higher stress hormone levels than dominant individuals (subordinatestress hypothesis). However, in carnivorous animals that are cooperative breeders, displays of aggression are associated with elevated stress hormone levels (dominancestress

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Despite the costs associated with mating, females of many taxa solicit multiple mates during a single reproductive event (polyandry). Polyandry is clearly adaptive when females gain direct benefits from males at mating. However, polyandry has also been shown to increase female fitness in the absence of direct benefits. Thus, a number of genetic benefit hypotheses have been developed to account for the origin of this behaviour. Although not mutually exclusive, a distinction lays between genetic benefits that propose defense against reproductive failure (nonadditive genetic

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a worldwide pathogen and it is isolated in 1990 at Lelystad Laboratories (Holland). This virus has a tropism for swine respiratory and reproductive apparatus; the symptoms are described in piglets (cough, fever, anorexia), finishing pigs (cough, fever, lympho nodes iperplasia) and in sows (abortions, infertility). PRRS is a disease with a high impact on the economic losses in swine industry.

Abstract:

AQPs are a class of small, hydrophobic, integral membrane proteins that are able to make the cell membrane 10 to 100 fold more permeable than the membranes lacking such channels. Based on studies with AQP1, it appears that AQPs exist in the plasma membrane as homotetramers. Each AQP monomer contains 2 hemi-pores, which fold together to form a water channel. Different aqps have different patterns of glycosylation. In the case of AQP1 the peptide backbone is roughly 28 kDa and the glycosylated forms range from 40 to 60 kDa in mass. Water transport activity of AQP1 is inhibited by mercurial ion,

Moreover, we carried out a study to examine the immunolocalization of leptin (Ob) and leptin receptor (Ob-R) in CCO recovered from fillies and from mares o

Reproduction strategies based on the recovery of oocytes' population from antral follicles are unsatisfactory, and the success of this approach has not exceeded 35% of embryos produced in vitro for over 30 years.
