Resistivity and Pulsatility Indexes Renal Values Do Not Differ When Obtained from Abdominal or Transrectal Approaches in Healthy Horses.

Early detection of renal deficient function is imperative for the success of treatments and determining prognosis. In horses, a renal ultrasound can be performed through the abdominal wall (TA) or transrectally (TR), being an important tool for the evaluation of the kidneys. Besides renal morphology, resistivity (RI) and pulsatility indexes (PI) may be early tools to detect renal injury as they reflect arterial compliance.

Reproductive traits and economic aspects on dairy cattle.

This study aimed to characterize the reproductive parameters and economic indicators of dairy farms. Data were from technical assistance of the (PDPL-UFV) including 26 farms, from September 2022 to August 2023, comprising an entire production cycle. The following economic indicators were selected as dependent variables: Unit Net Margin (UNM), Operating Profitability (OP) and Rate of Return on Capital (RRC).
