An exceptional muscle development commonly referred to as ‘double-muscled’ (Fig. 1) has
been seen in several cattle breeds and has attracted considerable attention from beef …

We have determined the entire myostatin coding sequence for 32 double-muscled cattle
sampled from ten European cattle breeds. Seven DNA sequence polymorphisms were identified…

This study was undertaken to determine the genetic structure, evolutionary relationships, and
the genetic diversity among 18 local cattle breeds from Spain, Portugal, and France using …

A total of 678 individuals from 28 European bovine breeds were both phenotyped and analysed
at the myostatin locus by the Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) method…

We used polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP)
analysis to screen the most frequent variants (A, B, C, and E) found in the bovine kappa-…

Background Real-time reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time
RTqPCR) is a technique used to measure mRNA species copy number as a way to …

Background American Creole cattle presumably descend from animals imported from the
Iberian Peninsula during the period of colonization and settlement, through different migration …

The aims of this study were to investigate the serum and tissue content of androgens and
estrogens in canine inflammatory mammary carcinomas (IMC) as well as in non-inflammatory …

Inclusion of prebiotics in the diet is known to be advantageous, with positive influences both
on health and growth. The current study investigated the differences in the hepatic …

This paper reports the first isolation and culture of Ehrlichia canis in Spain from a naturally
infected dog using the DH82 cell line. After DNA extraction and PCR amplification, a nearly …
