... determine the effect of bovine pituitary extract (BPE) supplementaion to vitrification media. A total of 18 ovaries were usedwhich was divided into two groups: the vitrification medium group without Bovine Pituitary Extract (BPE, GibscoTM) (1 ml PBS + 0.5 M sucrose + 30% ethylene glycol) and with BPE addition (1 ml PBS + 0.5 M sucrose + 30% ethylene glycol + BPE 30 μg/mL). Each group was separated into three vitrificatio...

...cows that reacted to the bovine purified protein derivatives (PPDb) caudal fold skin test and were transiting the early peripartum period (EPPp). Flow cytometry, interferon gamma (IFNγ) production, and metabolic activity assessed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulation. The study enrolled 19 Argentinian Holstein cows older than two years classified into four groups, one of PPDb reactors that transited the EPP period (PPDbEPPp) (n=5), anothe...

...s that cause subclinical bovine mastitis and their frequency in the Biblián-Ecuador canton. One thousand four hundred and forty mammary quarters were analyzed, coming from 360 Holstein cows in milk production. The California Mastitis Test (CMT) was used to qualitatively verify the increase in somatic cell count (SCC) in milk to indicate the presence of microorganisms causing bovine mastitis. Of the 1440 quarters stud...

...train for the control of bovine brucellosis but has several reported drawbacks including pathogenic potential for humans and excreted in body fluids of vaccinated animals. In the present study, we constructed a more attenuated B. abortus ΔpurD mutant by deleting the purD gene from the RB51 strain through site-directed mutagenesis. For virulence attenuation comparison with the parent RB51 strain, the constructed mutant was evaluated for attenuation estima...
