Small ruminant Lentivirus: a practical approach
Jacob-Ferreira, João; Pires, Isabel; Alegria, Nuno; Coelho, Ana Cláudia; Garcês, Andrea; Ferrer, Luis Miguel; Lacasta, Delia; Quintas, HelderSmall ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) is a group of viruses of the Retroviridae family, shared between caprine, ovine and wild ruminants. It is responsible for a systemic infection that can affect the lungs, central nervous system, mammary gland and joints, causing chronic, insidious, and progressive diseases, seriously affecting animal health. Concurrently, it is associated with a decrease in milk production, leadi...
Anaemia in ruminants caused by plant consumption
Ruiz, Héctor; Lacasta, Delia; Ramos, Juan Jose; Quintas, Helder; Arcaute, Marta Ruiz de; Ramo, Maria Angeles; Villanueva-Saz, SergioPlant toxicology has affected animals throughout evolution. Plants have adapted themselves to the environment. This adaptation has led to the development of defensive strategies to avoid being consumed. Plants have several chemical compounds, which can cause deleterious effects on people or animals that consume them, causing a wide variety of clinical signs. Plants from various latitudes, both cultivated for hu...
Synchronization of estrous using FGA internal pessaries and CIDR in Churra Gale...
Quintas, Helder; Silva, Luis; Mateus, Óscar; Ramos, Juan Jose; Ferrer, Luis Miguel; Ruiz, Héctor; Lacasta, Delia; Valentim, RamiroThe main goal of this paper was to compare the efficiency of FGA and CIDR in the synchronization of estrous in Portuguese CGB ewes. This study was performed at Braganza (latitude 41° 48’ 33’’N, longitude 6° 44’ 3’’W and Altitude 670 meters between April 1st and June 5th. Forty-nine CGB ewes aging between 2 to 8 years were divided in two groups - FGA (n = 26) and CIDR (n = 23). Body condition was scored accordin...
Plantas tóxicas para rumiantes
Quintas, Helder; Aguiar, Carlos; Ferrer, Luis Miguel; Ramos Antón, Juan José; Lacasta, DeliaLas plantas tóxicas pueden tener un efecto determinante en la salud animal y un grave impacto económico en las explotaciones pecuarias. Más allá de la naturaleza inespecífica de los cuadros clínicos, la escasez de informaciones veterinaria y botánica adaptadasa la realidad de nuestro trabajo, hacen particularmente difícil el establecimiento de las relaciones causa-efecto entre el consumo de plantas y la enferme...

Quintas, Helder; Silva, Luis; Mateus, Óscar; Ramos, Juan Jose; Ferrer, Luis Miguel; Correia, Teresa Montenegro; Lacasta, Delia; Valentim, RamiroThe main goal of this paper was to compare the efficiency of two speculums in the AI of Portuguese Churra Galega Bragançana (CGB) ewes. This study was performed at Braganza (latitude 41° 48’ 33’’N, longitude 6° 44’ 3’’W, and Altitude 670 meters) between April 1st and June 5th. Forty-nine CGB ewes aged between 2 to 8 years were used. Body condition was scored according to the Australian classification table. On ...
Shynchronization of estrous using fga internal pessaries and CIDR in Churra Gal...
Quintas, Helder; Silva, Luis; Mateus, Óscar; Ramos, Juan Jose; Ferrer, Luis Miguel; Ruiz, Héctor; Lacasta, Delia; Valentim, RamiroThe control of reproduction activity has a major impact in the management and profitability of sheep farms. There are several synchronization of estrous protocols. The progesterone/progestogens protocols are widely used all over the word. The long term protocols are the most commonly applied. Progestogens are synthetic hormones that mimics the effects of progesterone. The fluorgestone acetate(FGA) is the proges...

Anemia en rumiantes por consumo de plantas tóxicas
Ferrer, Luis Miguel; Ramos, Juan Jose; Lacasta, Delia; Ruiz, Héctor; Aguiar, Carlos; Quintas, HelderLa anemia en pequeños rumiantes es una reducción de la masa de células rojas sanguíneas, caracterizada por la disminución del número de glóbulos rojos circulantes, de la hemoglobina y del valor hematocrito. Consecuentemente, se produce una reducción de la capacidad del transporte de oxígeno. Es la alteración hemática más frecuente y, generalmente, es secundaria a otros procesos.
Plantas tóxicas para pequeños rumiantes
Ferrer, Luis Miguel; Quintas, Helder; Aguiar, Carlos; Ramos, Juan Jose; Lacasta, DeliaDesde tiempos remotos, las propiedades farmacológicas de las plantas son aprovechadas para el tratamiento de enfermedades en el hombre y en los animales. La utilización de substancias extraídas de las plantas es común no solo en la terapéutica alopática, sino también en la práctica veterinaria convencional (ej. atropina y digoxina). Sin embargo, la presencia en las plantas, o en partes de ellas, de determinados...
