Bacterial communities in the mammalian reproductive system can be rich and diverse, differing in structure and quantity depending on location. In addition, its microbiome is associated with the state of health of this tract and reproductive success. This study evaluated the microbiome composition of the uterine body (UB) and uterine horn mucosa (UH) samples using 16S rRNA sequencing of samples extracted from cows in the Amazon region.

- The research evaluated the sustainability of livestock farms in Moyobamba, Peru, focusing on environmental, economic, and social criteria across 60 out of 2220 farms.
- The study used a survey with 33 indicators grouped into six criteria—three environmental, two economic, and one social—to assess each farm's sustainability level on a scale from 1 to 10.
- Three distinct groups of livestock farms were identified based on education, farm size, years in cattle raising, and herd size, revealing significant differences in sustainability across these groups.
A major obstacle of widespread commercial application of bovine somatic cell nuclear transfer is the low overall efficiency, that is, healthy calf-late pregnancy per transferred embryo rate. In this study, we report a series of experiments with a limited number of embryos created with handmade cloning (HMC) and transferred without or after open pulled straw vitrification. Embryo reconstruction was performed by using in vitro matured oocytes and adult ear skin fibroblasts.
