Se extrajeron 5 ml de sangre entera de 5 machos y 5 hembras por medio de punción yugular previo al ejercicio y una vez finalizado el trabajo físico. Los equinos entrenaban con regularidad y estaban activos en competencias, la alimentación fue con base a heno de alfalfa. El muestreo se realizó una vez por semana durante cuatros semanas consecutivas y se realizó dos lecturas en cada muestra de suero sanguíneo, mediante métodos fotométricos. Los niveles séricos fueron analizados mediante la prueba t de student y previamente la prueba de normalidad mediante D´Agostino-Pearson. Los niveles séricos de PT mostraron diferencias significativas (P &lt; 0.05). La ALB y GLB en caballos peruanos de paso fueron similares (P &gt; 0.05). La PT en el pre ejercicio fue 7.08±0.56 g/dL (CV: 8.04 %) y después del ejercicio fue 6.89±0.61 g/dL (CV: 8.86 %). La ALB en el pre ejercicio fue 3.38±0.41 g/dL (CV: 12.28 %) y después del ejercicio fue 3.43±0.45 g/dL (CV: 13.26 %). La GLB en el pre ejercicio fue 3.69±0.74 g/dL (CV: 20.15 %) y después del ejercicio fue 3.46±0.74 g/dL (CV: 21.57 %).</p> María Flavia Melgar Velásquez, Cecilia Laura Mogrovejo-López, Eloisa Gabriela Zúñiga-Valencia, Gizely Alva Villavicencio, Ludwing Angel Cárdenas-Villanueva Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Electronica de Veterinaria https://veterinaria.org/index.php/REDVET/article/view/2135 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 04:50:17 +0000 Sperm Capacitation and Programmed Cell Death: A Journey Beyond Survival https://veterinaria.org/index.php/REDVET/article/view/2178 <p>In sexually reproducing species, life originates from the union of two haploid gametes, each contributing half of the genetic material necessary to form a diploid zygote. The male gamete, the spermatozoon, not only fulfills its role in fertilization through capacitation and the acrosome reaction but also follows a path closely associated with cellular death. This commentary explores the intersection of sperm capacitation and programmed cell death, questioning the boundaries between life, function, and extinction at the cellular level. Is the sperm cell merely a vehicle for genetic transfer, or is it a biological entity with its own regulated death path, carefully orchestrated to ensure species preservation?</p> Alberto JorgeCardenas-Padilla, Alfredo Medrano Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Electronica de Veterinaria https://veterinaria.org/index.php/REDVET/article/view/2178 Thu, 02 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Analysis Of The Relationship Between Water Resource Availability And Animal Production In Arid Zones https://veterinaria.org/index.php/REDVET/article/view/2210 <p>Water scarcity represents one of the most serious environmental and productive challenges for livestock systems located in arid and semi-arid regions. The sustainable performance of these systems largely depends on the efficient management of limited water resources, the adaptive capacity of species facing water stress, and the application of appropriate technologies.</p> <p>This study analyzes the relationship between water availability and animal production through a systematic review of international research published between 2010 and 2024. Emphasis is placed on hydrological variability, forage productivity, and the physiological responses of animals under drought conditions.</p> <p>The results show that fluctuations in groundwater levels, irregular precipitation patterns, and competition for water among agricultural, industrial, and domestic uses directly affect productivity and economic viability. It is concluded that integrating hydrological monitoring, adaptive genetic selection, and sustainable water management strategies is essential to ensure resilience and food security in arid environments.</p> Daniel Rodríguez Tenorio, Francisco Javier Gutiérrez Piña, Alejandro Espinoza Canales, Luis Cauthémoc Muñoz Salas, Ildefonso Ruíz Rivera, Regina Compeán González, y Rocío Ramirez Flores Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Electronica de Veterinaria https://veterinaria.org/index.php/REDVET/article/view/2210 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 05:18:59 +0000 Conservación Cadavérica Por Formolización Y Sal De Cura Con Alcohol Glicerinado Y Etílico, Con Fines Académicos https://veterinaria.org/index.php/REDVET/article/view/2285 <p>Cadaver preservation is an essential practice in biomedical research and academic instruction, as it enables the examination and identification of bones, cavities, and internal organs. Formaldehyde-based preservation is one of the most frequently used methods; however, its application poses significant health and environmental risks. Alternative approaches, including the use of glycerinated and ethyl alcohols, as well as curing salt, have demonstrated improved safety profiles and satisfactory preservation performance. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the formalization method with that of curing salt combined with glycerinated alcohol and ethyl alcohol. The sample consisted of two canine specimens, one male and one female, each subjected to a distinct preservation technique. A qualitative comparative assessment was carried out, supplemented with data analysis using the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test. The results indicated no significant differences between methods regarding texture and color. However, differences were observed in odor intensity, with formalization exhibiting lower odor levels. Formalization resulted in tissues that were more rigid and less functional, whereas the curing salt method preserved tissue characteristics more closely aligned with their natural properties. Based on the findings, formalization demonstrated superior effectiveness in odor control, while the curing salt method more favorably conserved the mechanical properties of the tissue, providing enhanced flexibility, elasticity, and overall texture.</p> Anthony Jair Ostaiza Peñarrieta, Beatriz Andrea Moreira Mendoza, Vicente Alejandro Intriago Muñoz Copyright (c) 2025 https://veterinaria.org/index.php/REDVET/article/view/2285 Influencia Del Color Y Peso De Huevos Criollos Sobre Los Parámetros De Incubación https://veterinaria.org/index.php/REDVET/article/view/2286 <p>En la zona norte de Manabí es común la producción de gallinas criollas, sin embargo, se argumenta que económicamente no es tan rentable la incubación de huevos criollos, ya que existe información donde se refieren a que la incubabilidad de estos huevos es muy baja, también ocurre que por las características del huevo criollo quizás no mantengan su estabilidad fértil en todo el proceso por los diferentes factores que se toman en cuenta al momento de requerir incubar un huevo. El consumo de productos del sector avícola irá en aumento en algunos cantones de Manabí (Palma y Sabando, 2023). Por lo que se resalta el interés por conocer cuáles son los factores que se toman en consideración a la hora de adquirir productos del sector avícola para la producción.</p> <p>Por otra parte, la falta de gestión técnica, durante su proceso de incubación, lo que disminuye la incubabilidad y el número de pollitos vivos. Temperatura, humedad, ventilación, mal manejo sanitario de las aves e instalaciones, así como infecciones bacterianas y fúngicas son factores que disminuyen la incubabilidad del huevo fértil (Rodríguez et al., 2019).&nbsp; El color de la cáscara del huevo es una medida importante de la calidad del huevo en gallinas ponedoras de huevos marrones, porque los consumidores tienen bajas preferencias en los huevos de color marrón claro y pálido (Salvador, 2019).</p> Oscar Adolfo Cedeño Rivera, Gohan Vicente Zambrano Sabando, Herberto Derlys Mendieta Chica, Vicente Alejandro Intriago Muñoz Copyright (c) 2025 https://veterinaria.org/index.php/REDVET/article/view/2286
