Se ha observado una tendencia al bajo rendimiento académico en los estudiantes que inician y cursan por los primeros semestres de la Educación Superior, debido a distintos factores como los personales en los cuales se destaca la vocación, los hábitos de estudio y el estado motivacional, los cuales pueden estar relacionados con el rendimiento académicos de los estudiantes. Por este motivo, nos hemos propuesto caracterizar a los estudiantes de los primeros cinco semestres de esta escuela profesional. Se utilizó el método del cuestionario a través de una encuesta con indicadores relativos a hábitos de estudio y estado motivacional, la que se realizó a 77 estudiantes de la Escuela profesional de Medicina Veterinaria Sede Canchis, Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias de la Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco; se obtuvieron los promedios de las notas como resultados de rendim...

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of subclinical mastitis and identify environmental risk factors in dairy cattle from small producers in the high Peruvian mountains. A cross-sectional study was carried out, analyzing milk samples per mammary quarter from 300 Brown Swss cows belonging to 38 producers from the district of Santa Rosa, Melgar, in Puno, Peru. The area is located at an altitude of 3900-4300 m. The California Mastitis Test (CMT) was used for the detection of subclinical mastitis, while the identification of environmental factors was done through surveys and inspections to the sites. The prevalence of subclinical mastitis was 47.0% (141/300) and 21.2% (254/1200) at the level of cows and mammary quarters, respectively, without significant differences between quarters (p>0.05). The 15.75 and 24.25% of the four mammary quarters were positive to the degree of ...

Diarrhea in alpacas is a clinically significant condition and the primary cause of morbidity in neonatal Peruvian alpacas. This study aimed to correlate early diarrhea in crias of alpaca with changes in the microbiota community. A total of 19 alpacas (aged 1–2 months) were collected, including nine with a health condition and ten healthy ones. Fecal samples were obtained under sterile conditions and their DNA was extracted. Sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was conducted in the Illumina platform, followed by bioinformatics analysis. Reduced microbial diversity was evident in alpacas afflicted with diarrhea, delineating contrasting microbial compositions in comparison to their healthy counterparts. The study characterized the predominant bacterial classes and phyla within the gut microbiota, with Firmicutes, Verrucomicrobiota, and Bacteroidota collectively constituting...
