TEMPERATURE ALTERATIONS DURING EMBRYOGENESIS HAVE A SEX-DEPENDENT INFLUENCE ON GROWTH PROPERTIES AND MUSCLE METABOLISM OF DAY-OLD CHICKS AND 35-DAY-OLD BROILERS

Temperature alterations during embryogenesis have a sex-dependent influence on growth properties and muscle metabolism of day-old chicks and 35-day-old broilers

Broiler eggs were either incubated at 37.8°C during the whole incubation period (control), or at higher (38.8°C, group H) and lower temperatures (36.8°C, group L) from embryonic day (ED) 7 up to ED 10 (ED 7 to 10) or from ED 10 up to ED 13 (ED 10 to 13).Before and after this temperature treatment the eggs were incubated at 37.8°C.The day-old ch

Performance of recombinant chimeric proteins in the serological diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in dogs.

BackgroundDogs are considered sentinels in areas of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission risk to humans.ELISA is generally the method of choice for diagnosing T.cruzi exposure in dogs, but its performance substantially depends on the antigenic matrix employed.In previous studies, our group has developed four chimeric antigens (IBMP-8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4
