      The rumen is a complex microbial system of substantial importance in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and feed efficiency. This study proposes combining metagenomic and host genomic data for selective breeding of the ...
    • Effect of alternative synchronisation treatments on the vaginal microbiota of ewes and their impact on pregnancy rate 

      Reinoso Peláez, Edgar Leonardo; González Recio, Oscar; González Verdejo, Carmen; Saura Álvarez, María; Fernández González, Almudena; López García, Adrián; Saborío Montero, Alejandro; Calvo Lacosta, Jorge Hugo; Ramón Fernández, Manuel; Serrano Noreña, Magdalena (2022)
      The low pregnancy rate by artificial insemination in sheep represents a fundamental challenge for breeding programmes. In this species, estrous synchronization is done by manipulating hormonal regimens through the insertion ...
    • Fungal and ciliate protozoa are the main rumen microbes associated with methane emissions in dairy cattle
