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.

Fifteen guinea pigs were distributed into three groups according to their breed: Andina (5), Inti (5), and Peru (5). We discovered that four main phyla were shared between the three breeds: Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, Spirochaetota, and Synergistota.

- 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.
