Book Description
¿Cómo la Biotecnología y la Bioinformática pueden contribuir a la Producción Animal? Los propósitos mundiales tendientes a cumplir objetivos de producción sostenible, amigable con el medio ambiente, reduciendo las brechas de acceso a los alimentos y en la búsqueda de mejorar la calidad de vida de la humanidad generan un gran reto para los entornos de ciencia. La biotecnología y la bioinformática son herramientas cientificas de vanguardia que vienen siendo aplicadas para la solución de problemas, creación de estrategias y el cumplimento de los propósitos superiores de la Universidad: Docencia, Investigación y Extensión. Los autores de este libro, egresados de programas de Doctorado de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia Sede Medellín, en colaboración con sus profesores, han recopilado en esta obra los resultados de estudios innovadores del grupo de investigación BIOGEM en los cuales se aplican la biotecnología y la bioinformática en la producción y salud de animales de interés zootécnico (bovinos, cerdos y aves) de gran importancia para la economía colombiana. Desde diferentes enfoques como la nutrición, la alimentación y la reproducción, hasta el estudio molecular de variables parógenas de importancia productiva, y el relacionamiento de la microbiota intestinakỳ fecal con indicadores productivos, los autores buscan compartir con la comunidad académica, de productores y el público en general las posibles aplicaciones y ventajas que la biotecnología y la bioinformática pueden aportar a los sistemas de producción animal para lograr el objetivo de mejorar su eficiencia y sostenibilidad.

Book Description
This publication deals with key issues in land tenure, especially as they relate to food insecurity and rural development situations. Land tenure issues are frequently ignored in rural development interventions, with often long-lasting, negative results. This guide is designed to assist technical officers in governments and civil society in understanding why and how land tenure issues should be considered in rural development projects. It analyses important contexts such as environmental degradation, gender discrimination, and conflicts, where land tenure is currently of critical concern.

Book Description
Despite efforts to control udder health in cattle, are the causes of mastitis are on the rise. Although at first glance the birth process seems normal in domestic pigs, what could be the problem? What are the clinical aspects of the oestrus cycle and pregnancy endocrinology in mares? What is Lidia cattle breeding and clinic? Does calf gender affect milk yield? Do insecticides reduce fertility? Could boar pheromones be an option to stimulate sow reproduction? Animal Reproduction in Veterinary Medicine is a book with the answers to such questions. It includes ‘Induction and Synchronization of Estrus’, which describes the protocol principles and tools. The practical approach this book takes will help students, farmers, veterinarians and academics to build an understanding of the concepts and procedures required to answer real questions by comprehending the basic function of real clinic data. Humans often endure results from the misunderstanding that to be doing well, they should make each thing themselves.

Book Description
The advent of the CRISPR/Cas9 class of genome editing tools is transforming not just science and medicine, but also law. When the genome of germline cells is modified, the modifications could be inherited, with far-reaching effects in time and scale. Legal systems are struggling with keeping up with the CRISPR revolution and both lawyers and scientists are often confused about existing regulations. This book contains an analysis of the national regulatory framework in eighteen selected countries. Written by national legal experts, it includes all major players in bioengineering, plus an analysis of the emerging international standards and a discussion of how international human rights standards should inform national and international regulatory frameworks. The authors propose a set of principles for the regulation of germline engineering, based on international human rights law, that can be the foundation for regulating heritable gene editing both at the level of countries as well as globally.

Book Description
The imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defenses determines a state known as oxidative stress. Higher levels of pro-oxidants compared to antioxidant defenses may generate oxidative damage, which, in turn, may lead to modifications in cellular proteins, lipids, and DNA, reducing functional capacity and increasing the risk of diseases. Nevertheless, the clearance of harmful reactive chemical species is achieved by the antioxidant defense systems. These protection systems are referred to as the first and second lines of defense and comprise the classic antioxidants, enzymatic and nonenzymatic defenses, including glutathione. This book presents and discusses the advancement of research on health and diseases and their underlying mechanisms, exploring mainly aspects related to the glutathione antioxidant system.
