(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-02-10) Alvarez Alvarez, Alan Fabricio; Estrella Bermeo, Carlos Adrián; Gallo Pérez, Abel Antonio
The study was carried out in the dry forest “Bajada de Chanduy”, located in the province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. The objective of the research was to determine the relative abundance, diversity and activity patterns of medium and large mammals through and large mammals by means of photo-trapping, using 9 Bushnell Prime 24 MP Low-Glow 24 MP Low-Glow cameras were used to monitor from May to August 2024, with an estimated effort of 882 days/trap. effort of 882 days/trap and 370 individual data. Twelve mammal species were recorded, belonging to 8 families and 5 different orders. The most represented orders were Carnivora (37.16%) and Artiodactyla (59.98%). The most abundant species were Dicotyles tajacu, Nasua nasua, and Odocoileus virginianus. The species with the lowest relative abundance index (RAI) was Galictis vittata. The analysis of activity patterns showed that most of the recorded species were diurnal, with activity peaks at 10:00 am, 08:00 am, and 04:00 pm. Among the diurnal species, Nasua nasua and Eira barbara stood out, while nocturnal species included Leopardus pardalis, Dasypus novemcinctus, and Tamandua mexicana. Cathemeral species, such as Dicotyles tajacu and Odocoileus virginianus, were also identified, showing activity during both day and night. The study also evaluated the relationship between activity patterns and lunar phases, without finding significant influence. The findings provide key information for developing measures to help preserve these ecosystems.

The work was carried out in the Biotechnology laboratory of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Cuenca. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different percentages of guinea pig serum in heat (SCC) as a supplement in an in vitro maturation medium (IVM) for guinea pig oocytes from slaughterhouse ovaries. For this, in the first instance, 10 crossbred guinea pigs were synchronized, the day they showed heat, blood serum was obtained. In the second instance, slaughterhouse ovaries were collected and COC's were obtained from these using the Slicing technique, these were classified into type A, B and C based on their morphology. Three treatments were evaluated: T0=control (base maturation medium), T1=base medium + 5% SCC supplementation, T2= base medium + 10% SCC supplementation, T3= base medium + 20% supplementation. % of SCC it was determined that the addition of SCC caused a greater degree of expansion of cumulus cells 5% (84.65 ± 3.98), 10% (84.49 ± 3.63) and 20% (87.43 ± 3.98) with respect to control (69.7 ± 3.63; p<0.005). The percentage of oocytes that reached metaphase II in T1 (25.91 ± 2.79), T2 (26.9 ± 2.79) and T3 (32.48 ± 3.06), were higher compared to the T0 (8.65 ± 2.79; p<0.05). In conclusion, the oocytes that were matured in medium supplemented with SCC presented a better percentage of morphological maturation than cumulus cells and oocytes that reached metaphase II.
Adición de vitamina E como antioxidante en cobayas gestantes (Cavia porcellus) sometidas a restricción alimentaria y su efecto sobre los parámetros productivos de la descendencia
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-02-15) Pillco Guzmán, Andrea Cecilia; Criollo Cajamarca, Maritza Gabriela; Pesántez Pacheco, José Luis
Prenatal viability is related to an adequate supply of nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the embryos and subsequently to the fetuses, determined by an adequate placental structural and functional development. Therefore, an insufficient placental development due to undernourishment and/or maternal hypoxia, causes an increase in oxidative stress in the mother that exceed the endogenous antioxidant capacity, causing cell damage, which are related to a lower fetal development, low birth weight, stunting and a higher perinatal and post-natal mortality rate. The pregnant guinea pigs were divided into three groups ad libitum with 100% of the daily requirements (Group C; with restriction of 50% of the daily requirements without vitamin E supply (SNV group) and with restriction and treated with vitamin E (CNV group). The guinea pigs born to mothers of the CNV group had a higher weight during the whole lactation period and continued to be higher after weaning, likewise, the body length was longer during these two periods (lactation and weaning) compared with the SNV group. A better body mass index was also observed in the CNV group guinea pigs towards the middle of the lactation period and after weaning compared to the SNV group; all these morphometric characteristics reflected that the CNV group’s guinea pigs had a better daily mean weight gain and a better total weight gain during the juvenile development of the pups, compared to the restricted group without vitamin (SNV). In conclusion, the addition of vitamin E provides a positive effect on pregnant guinea pigs and could counteract the negative effects caused by dietary restriction on offspring.
Adición del líquido folicular como suplemento al medio de maduración in vitro de ovocitos de cobaya provenientes de ovarios de matadero
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-06-26) Aguinsaca Yauri, Nidia Nataly; Motoche Castro, Mishel Stefanía; Ayala Guanga, Luis Eduardo
In recent years, the in vitro maturation (IVM) process of guinea pig oocytes has been trying to improve. However, the results obtained until now are contradictory. Therefore, the present study sought to validate a protocol for obtaining follicular fluid (FL) from guinea pigs in estrus and then, to evaluate the effect of supplementing it in different percentages in a conventional medium in vitro maturation of guinea pig oocytes. For the first experiment, ten mestizo guinea pigs were used, which received a heat synchronization protocol based on oral progesterone for 15 consecutive days as a result 200µl of LF was obtained. In the second experiment, cumulus oocyte complexes (COC´s) were obtained from guinea pig ovaries using the slicing technique. The COC´s were distributed randomly in four IVM media containing different percentages of FL (T0= control, T1= 5%, T2= 10%, and T3 = 20%). After 24 hours, greater expansion of cumulus cells (CC) was observed in T1 (68.1 ± 3.01%) and T3 (66.6 ± 3.39%). It compared to T2 (54.35 ± 2 .72%) and T0 (43.19 ± 2.43%) with p<0.05, between groups. In addition, when evaluating the restart of meiosis progression, it was observed that the oocytes from T3 (33.46 ± 2.4%) and T2 (31.06% ± 1.93%) presented a higher percentage of oocytes in metaphase II, without a statistical difference between these two treatments; compared to the oocytes from T1 (24.52 ± 2.13%) and T0 (14.07 ± 1.72%). In brief, the supplementation of 10% guinea pig the follicular fluid in a conventional maturation medium resulted in a higher percentage of cumulus expansion, it improves the percentage of oocytes that reach metaphase II.

The effect of short- and long-acting progesterone (P4) in early ovine metaestrous upon the size and number of corpus luteum (CL), progesterone and cortisol concentration, and number of embryos recovery at days 7 and 13 post-artificial insemination (AI) were analyzed. The study was carried out in Irquis livestock farm owned by University of Cuenca with 21 Correidale ewes, which were submitted to estrous synchronization with P4 intravaginal devices and ovary stimulation with equine chorionic gonadotropin (Folligon ®) and follicle-stimulating hormone (Folltropin ®). After estrus, ewes were inseminated and randomized assigned to one of the following treatments: (T1; n=7) control; (T2; n=7) 6 mg of P4 (Progestar ®) on days 2, 3 y 4 post-IA, and (T3; n=7) 18 mg of long-acting P4 (Progesterone MAD-4 ®) on day 2 post-IA. Fecal P4 and cortisol were also assessed on days 2, 3, 4 and 5 post-AI. The size and number of the CL and embryos were performed by mid-ventral laparotomy on days 7 and 13; and also blood samples for P4 concentration determination were collected on day 13. A randomized block design was used to analysis of data. No statistics differences between treatments were found. Also, no embryos were recovered in any experimental group. In conclusion, the short- and long-acting P4 applied in early metaestrous did not affect the size and number of CL, serum P4 concentration, also, did not affect the concentration of P4 and cortisol in feces.

Alteraciones en el hemograma de pacientes caninos tras ser sometidos a un protocolo de anestesia intravenosa total
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, 2026-07-17) Erazo Ochoa, Esthefany Lizbeth; Tuba Villa, Michelle Estefania; Patiño Márquez, José Luis
This study evaluated the hematological changes associated with a total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) protocol based on ketamine, xylazine, and propofol in 40 clinically healthy female dogs that underwent ovariohysterectomy (OVH), comprising 22 puppies aged between 7 months and 1 year, and 18 adult dogs aged between 1 and 5 years. Blood samples were collected before (PRE) and after (POST) the anesthetic-surgical procedure to evaluate hematological parameters using a hematology analyzer. In the overall PRE vs. POST comparison, the total white blood cell (WBC) count decreased from 14.363 to 13.727 × 10⁹/L, representing a change of −4.431% (P=0.0187); the absolute lymphocyte count (LYM#) decreased from 3.071 to 2.530 × 10⁹/L (−17.631%; P=0.0315); and the mean platelet volume (MPV) decreased from 9.565 to 9.443 fL (−1.281%; P=0.0379). Meanwhile, the percentage of neutrophils (Neu %) increased from 65.9% to 70.0% (+6.334%; P=0.0084). To further examine the comparison of hematological changes, a supplementary analysis stratified by age group was conducted, which identified significant differences in female puppies for the percentage of neutrophils (Neu %) (P=0.0408) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) (P=0.0342), whereas in adult females, significant changes were observed in the percentage of eosinophils (Eos %) (P=0.0150), red blood cell distribution width (RDW-SD) (P=0.0496), platelet count (PLT) (P=0.0428), and plateletcrit (PCT) (P=0.0263). It was concluded that the anestheticsurgical protocol based on ketamine, xylazine, and propofol produces statistically significant hematological alterations in certain analytes of the leukocyte and platelet series, detectable in the immediate postoperative period following OVH.
