The establishment of a germplasm bank using somatic cells is an important step prior to the use of genetic material in the bovine cloning process. Considering that each freezing curve temperature has specific implications for cell viability and functionality, the objective of this ...

The recovery of spermatozoa from the epididymis of animals that die suddenly is an alternative to enhance germplasm banks and allow future use for the propagation of wild animals. In this context, the present study evaluated the protective potential of three cryoprotectant media fo...

ABSTRACT - Bioinputs offer a promising alternative to synthetic herbicides, reducing environmental impacts, but their effects on soil microbial communities are not well understood. This study assessed the effects of aqueous sorghum extract on soil microbial communities and nodulation in soybean&#...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of using female sexed versus conventional semen for embryo production and pregnancies, as well as verify the impact of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and the sires used on the predicted transmitting ability (PTA) for mi...

Thi study aimed to assess the impact of bulls selected for milk production based on their predicted transmitting ability for milk production (PTA_MP), reliability (REL) and inbreeding coefficient (InC) of descendants generated by in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the Sindhi breed. The hyp...

Melatonin (Mel) is an antioxidant that modulates the microenvironment where oxidative stress is one of the main challenges to embryonic viability. In this context, this study evaluated the impact of supplementation with melatonin at 10⁻⁹ M during the in vitro culture of bovine embr...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of an Automated Activity Monitoring (AAM) system to detect estrus behavior in lactating Holstein x Gir (n=25, average 5/8 blood share) dairy cows under different management systems. Estrus detection was carried out by visua...

This study assessed the impact of silicate agrominerals (basalt, biotite schist, kamafugite), applied as potassium sources in doses calculated to increase soil CEC, in comparison to potassium chloride (KCl) and a control, on carbon and nitrogen dynamics in a Red-Yellow Latosol under Uro...

Coffee beverage quality is determined by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors, including specific biochemical characteristics. In this context, the present study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of elite irrigated Conilon coffee genotypes in the Cerrado over two ...
