2021
Equine Reproduction Service. Department of Animal Medicine and Surgery. Veterinary Faculty. Autonomous University of Barcelona. National Agency for Research and Development (ANID), Ministry of Education, Chile (2017/72180128). Secretary of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (SENESCYT)(CZ02-000507-2019) The evaluation of the male fertility potential is based on the analysis of the basic spermatic characteristics of concentration, motility and morphology. Thus, the study of sperm morphology is a fundamental element in the seminal analysis, but its real meaning has been biased by the techniques used for its evaluation. These techniques involve dehydration phases and subsequen…
A New Approach of Sperm Motility Subpopulation Structure in Donkey and Horse
2021
This study aimed to characterize the sperm kinematic values with high frames per second, to define the subpopulation structure of a horse and a donkey and compare them. A total of 57 fresh semen ejaculates (26 Spanish and 16 Arabian horse breeds and 10 donkeys) were collected and subsequently analyzed for kinematic parameters using the Computer-aided sperm motility analysis ISAS®v1.2 system and using a Spermtrack® 10-μm depth counting chamber. Sequences were recorded at 250 frames per second, and eight kinematic parameters were automatically evaluated. All kinematic parameters showed significant differences between a donkey and a horse and between horse breeds. All ejaculates evaluated show…
Technological aspects of horse meat products – A review
2017
Abstract Horse meat and its products can be considered as a food with a high nutritional value. However, due to cases of economically motivated food adulteration by the intentional addition of horse meat beef products in recent years, horse meat has become a controversial issue. Consumer confidence in meat products and the meat industry has diminished, although consumers consider the differences between the food content and the label as the major issue rather than the safety and nutritional characteristics of horse meat. The elaboration of meat products from horse meat (e.g. “cecina”, dry-cured loin, salami, bressaola and pâte) is also an interesting alternative to other traditional meat pr…

Store ører: Forholdet mellem æsel og menneske i selvudforskning og træningskurser
2022
Gli asini, per le loro caratteristiche etologiche e per la loro valenza simbolica all’interno della nostra cultura, offrono la possibilità di sperimentare percorsi di conoscenza profonda di sé, di scoperta delle proprie emozioni ma anche di fiducia in se stessi e nella relazione con l’altro. In questo articolo parlerò di come e per quali ragioni siano proponibili esperienze significative di apprendimento in tutte le età della vita, a partire dalla prima infanzia. Mi soffermerò infine sull’efficacia di percorsi con gli asini nell’ambito della formazione dei formatori Donkeys, due to their ethological characteristics and their symbolic value within our culture, offer the opportunity to experi…
