Mecanismos homeostáticos e homeorréticos decorrentes da aclimatização sazonal e...
Silva, F.; Cachucho, L.; Matos, C.; Geraldo, A.; Conceição, C.; Lamy, E.; Infante, P.; Pereira, A. M. F.The aim of this study was to compare the physiological responses of dairy cows, Holstein-Frisian breed, with different milk yield potential regarding the seasonal acclimatisation process. Using milk production values adjusted to 305 days in milk, 6 and 7 multiparous cows with a milk yield lower than 9000 kg (BP) and equal or higher that 9000 kg (AP), respectively, were selected. All cows were evaluated during 5...
Whole Genome Analysis of Alentejano Pigs with Contrasting Meat Quality Phenotypes
Usié, A.; Magalhães, H.; Leão, C.; Gaspar, D.; Meireles, B.; Barbosa, P.; Cachucho, L.; Albuquerque, A.; Charneca, R.; Martins, J.M.; Jerónimo, E.The Alentejano is a Mediterranean pig breed, found in southern Portugal, reared under extensive conditions and finished on grass and acorns during the fall and winter months. From these animals a variety of dry-cured meat products of great economic importance are generated. A total of 541 pigs were studied during the 2017 slaughter campaign. Phenotypic records for carcass and meat quality were collected and sub...

Dentinho, M. T. P.; Paulos, K.; Costa, C.; Costa, J.; Fialho, L.; Cachucho, L.; Portugal, A. P.ABSTRACT - The use of agro-industrial by-products in animal feed is an opportunity to reduce imports, food waste and promote a clean and circular economy, turning worthless raw materials into high -quality and low-cost animal feeds, which does not compete with human food. This study aims to produce silages with by-products of carrot, sweet potato, potato, and tomato pomace and integrate them in lamb diets, repl...

Heat tolerance or extensive ability to acclimate
Geraldo, A.; Silva, F.; Pinheiro, C.; Cachucho, L.; Capela-Silva, F; Infante, P.; Pereira, A.Heat thermal stress is a major concern environmental stress for dairy cattle, it limits animal growth, metabolism, and productivity. Taken this, the joint selection for productivity and adaptability should be considered in the actual dairy farms programs. This study aimed to evaluate the seasonal acclimatization process of cows with different milk yield potential. From a dairy farm located in Alentejo, Portugal...

Cachucho, L.; Albuquerque, A.; Usié, A.; Leão, C.; Meireles, B.; Barbosa, P.; Gaspar, D.; Martins, J.M.; Charneca, R.; Ramos, M.; Jerónimo, E.O porco Alentejano é uma raça suína autóctone do sul de Portugal, tradicionalmente acabada em regime de montanheira. Durante o período de engorda, que ocorre nos meses de outono e inverno, os animais são alimentados com os recursos naturais do Montado, como bolota/lande e pastagem, sendo abatidos com cerca de 120-150 Kg de peso vivo e com 18-24 meses de idade (Freitas et al., 2007). O porco Alentejano é caracte...

Silva, F.; Pinheiro, C.; Cachucho, L.; Matos, C.; Geraldo, A.; Lamy, E.; Silva, F.; Infante, P.; Pereira, A.In dairy cattle, heat thermal stress is a major concern environmental stress that limits animal growth, metabolism, and productivity. Facing global warming tendency, the current increased environmental temperatures, the joint selection for productivity and adaptability should be an objective for dairy farms. This study aimed to evaluate the acclimatisation process of cows with different milk yield potential dur...
