Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias
El 21 de abril de 1982, por resolución del Honorable Consejo Universitario se establece la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, de la Universidad de Cuenca. La Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias es una institución formadora de talento humano en el área agronómica, a través de una educación de calidad, centrada en la investigación y vinculación con la colectividad. Los futuros profesionales médicos veterinarios zootecnistas e ingenieros agrónomos, durante su permanencia en las aulas y estudio de campo, desarrollan conocimientos científicos-tecnológicos, competencias y destrezas en procesos de producción agropecuaria. Se los prepara con el fin de preservar la salud de los animales y recursos naturales, fomentando la seguridad alimentaria, respetando el medio ambiente dentro del marco del Buen Vivir, englobado en las necesidades de la región y el país.

Publication Short-term outcomes and complications of 65 cases of porous TTA with flange: a prospective clinical study in dogs(2020) Bernardi Villavicencio, Cristina; Jiménez Socorro, Antonio Nicolás; Rojo Salvador, Concepción; Robles Sanmartin, Javier; Rodríguez Quirós, JesúsBackground: Cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CrCLR) is the most common orthopaedic cause of lameness in the hind limb in dogs. Many surgical treatments have been described, but tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) is one of the most commonly used today. Since it was first described, TTA has evolved to reduce major complications and to arrest the progression of osteoarthrosis. The aim of this study was to assess a surgical technique called Porous TTA with flange prospectively. This study was performed in 61 dogs that underwent 65 Porous TTA with flange procedures, to validate it as an alternative CrCLR treatment. Complications and clinical outcomes (pain, lameness, weight bearing, flexion, extension, crepitation and atrophy) were reported over 3 months, i.e. at 3, 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively. Results: The results showed a positive clinical outcome, a minor complication rate of 47.69% at the first review 3 weeks postoperatively, 10.77% at the second one (6 weeks after the surgery) and 4% at the third one (at 12 weeks). Major complications were observed only at the last review, with one case that had an infection requiring implant removal; this represented 1.5% of cases. Variables evaluated for a relationship with complication scores and improvement were body condition score, sex, age, breed, body weight, breed size, side of the affected limb, traumatic anamnesis and time of lameness before surgery. No relationship was detected. Conclusions: Clinical outcomes and complications show that Porous TTA with flange is an efficient alternative for surgical treatment of CrCLR in dogs.Publication Limb-sparing surgery using the new ITC spanish porous titanium endoprosthesis in a dog with distal radius osteosarcoma(WVOC-ESVOT, 2018) Jiménez Socorro, Antonio Nicolás; Martín, Afonso; Bernardi Villavicencio, Cristina; Jiménez Heras, Maria; Rojo Salvador, Concepción; Robles Sanmartin, Javier; Rodríguez Quirós, Jesús; Jiménez Socorro, Antonio NicolásOsteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common bone tumour in Dogs and in giant breeds it’s commonly located in distal radius. Treatment includes: surgery (limb amputation or limb-sparing surgery), radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Amputation is a first-line procedure, it increases survival, brings pain relief thereby delays euthanasia. But limb amputation in giant breeds decreases life quality so limb-sparing surgery can be considered as a good option of treatment. New porous titanium developed by Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias (ITC) can be use as bone substitute in combination with a stabilized plate It has been described that titanium endoprosthesis with limb salvage does not affect survival and provides some advantages over traditional amputation, for OSA treatment.1,3,4 Premature resection of distal radius osteosarcoma and implantation of ITC porous titanium endoprosthesis can be an acceptable option of treatment for the distal radius OSA in dogs, as it increases a quickly return to normal limb function and life quality.Publication Creation of a 3D printed pleural drainage placement model(IATED, 2018) Sanz Dueñas, Javier; De la Morena, Eva; Gaspar, Ignacio; Rojo Salvador, Concepción; Rodríguez Quirós, Jesús; Bernardi Villavicencio, Cristina; Perez Díaz, Carmen3D printing technologies are in a period of great development and so are their educational applications for health sciences. FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printers allow for great advances in veterinary education by creating anatomical models adapted to learning needs. The knowledge of routine procedures in the veterinary clinic, such as the placement of a pleural drain, represents a key point in the practical training of students. The difficulties associated to obtaining, preparing and conserving cadavers makes their use in practical teaching very difficult. The models printed using FDM technology are a versatile, realistic and inexpensive tool that can be applied in teaching. In this study, a dog chest was created by segmentation of tomographic studies obtained from a live patient. This data allowed for the creation of a 3D mesh, which was used to create both virtual online access models and physical models manufactured with FDM printing technologies. This thorax introduced into a stuffed animal was used by students to understand and perform the placement and posterior fixation of a pleural drainage. In order to validate the developed pleural drainage placement model, 25 veterinary students with prior clinical experience (15 of them had observed the procedure in practice before) from the Complutense University (Madrid) performed the placement procedure using the model. 71% of these students considered that the model was useful for understanding the location of anatomical structures and their relations to surrounding organs and tissues. 53% considered that pleural drainage placement in the model was anatomically equivalent to the animal. Participating students expressed their interest in the creation of other models of clinical practice. FDM technology is capable of producing accurate, low-cost anatomical models, although its main limitation is printing speed. Virtualization and 3D printing are a new and effective educational tool with great potential for development. Both techniques are subject to a learning curve, which can be assumed thanks to the resources available onlinePublication Fractura del hueso nasal en perro, a propósito de un caso clínico(SEOVE, 2018) Herrera Zurdo, Pablo; Bernardi Villavicencio, Cristina; Rodríguez Quirós, Jesús; Jiménez Socorro, Antonio Nicolás; Herrera Zurdo, PabloLas fracturas de hueso nasal no son muy comunes en la clínica de pequeños animales, cuando se presentan es importante manejarlas rápidamente para prevenir obstrucciones en la vía respiratoria y deformidades con la mala consolidación ósea. El caso descrito es el de un Yorkshire atropellado, con sangrado nasal y enfisema subcutáneo, de dos días de evolución. Gracias a un estudio radiológico se diagnosticó la fractura del hueso nasal y se trató quirúrgicamente bajo anestesia general. La estabilización de la fractura se obtuvo gracias a un monofilamento no absorbible del calibre 1. La completa recuperación se alcanzó al mes y medio sin complicaciones.Publication Reimplante de un canino mandibular avulsionado en perro, a propósito de un caso clínico(SEOVE, 2018) Bernardi Villavicencio, Cristina; Rodríguez Quirós, Jesús; Jiménez Socorro, Antonio Nicolás; Muñíz Flores, Laura; Muñíz Flores, LauraLa avulsión dentaria es una de las lesiones mas severas que un diente puede sufrir, se trata de una auténtica urgencia odontológica. Un galgo español con una avulsión del 404, fue tratado rapidamente mediante la recolocación del diente en su alveolo dentario y se estabilizó con una férula de alambre de acero y composite fotopolimerizable. Tres semanas mas tarde se retiró la férula y se llevó a cabo el tratamiento endodóntico de la pieza. Un año después del reimplante el diente se encuentra bien clínica y radiológicamente.
