RESUMO
The present study aimed at the morphometric characterization of the native Guajolote reared in two regions of Mexico using multivariate analysis techniques. Data from a total of 362 unrelated native Guajolotes (257 males and 105 females) were used: of these, 160 were from the Central region and 202 were from the Southeast region. The birds were also grouped according to age, as youngs (≤ 8 months; n = 150) and adults (≥ 9 months; n = 212). The body weight (BW) and nine morphometric measurements-chest circumference (CC), body length (BL), body height (BH), neck length (NL), peak length (PL), shank length (SL), shank diameter (SD), wing length (WL) and wing width (WW)-were measured. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) due to the effect of region, sex and age for most of the morphometric measurements evaluated. There was a high percentage of positive and significant correlations (p < 0.001; p < 0.01) between the variables. In each region, three principal components were extracted that represented more than 75% of the accumulated variation among the variables. The most discriminating morphometric measurements between populations were WW, PL and NL. The Mahalanobis distance between the males and females of the two populations was 37.457 and 29.310 (p < 0.001), respectively. This differentiation can contribute to the definition of the phenotypic standard of this poultry genetic resource for its official recognition as a breed, as well as in the orientation of its genetic improvement programs in the future.

Se estudió el efecto del extracto de Yucca schidigera en los valores hemáticos de cerdos en crecimiento y engorde. Se utilizaron 30 cerdos línea York x Landrace x Pietrain (YLP), a los cuales se asignaron tres tratamientos en forma completamente al azar: T1, dieta testigo (sorgo-soya); T2, dieta testigo + 120 g de De-Odorase® y T3, dieta testigo + 120 g de Amoprem®. Las variables hemáticas se evaluaron tomando una muestra de sangre agregando EDTA. Además, se determinó el perfil bioquímico (creatinina, urea, proteínas totales, albúmina, colesterol, triglicéridos y glucosa) de los animales. Se realizó el análisis de varianza para las variables obtenidas y se compararon las medias con la prueba de Tukey. Para la interpretación de las variables hemáticas, se establecieron valores de referencia para el tratamiento testigo, basados en límites de confianza al 95 por ciento y con ellos se interpretaron las variables hemáticas. La concentración de triglicéridos (0,47; 0,32 y 0,33 mmol/l en T1, T2 y T3), colesterol (1,39; 1,29 y 1,31 mmol/l) y urea (3,95; 3,84 y 3,67 mmol/l) mostraron diferencias significativas (P<0,05) entre tratamientos en los cerdos en la etapa de crecimiento. En la etapa de engorda, se observó que las concentraciones de triglicéridos (0,36; 0,31 y 0,35 mmol/l), urea (4,61; 4,65 y 4,28 mmol/l) y proteína total (5,50; 5,36 y 5,47 g/dl) disminuyeron en los tratamientos adicionados con Yucca schidigera (P<0,05). El perfil hemático en la etapa de crecimiento no mostró diferencias (P>0,05); sin embargo, en la etapa de engorde existieron diferencias (P<0,05) en hemoglobina (18,31; 20,04 y 20,62 g/dl), neutrófilos (18,15; 27,15 y 25,40 por ciento) y monocitos (13,45; 7,00 y 8,50 por ciento). En conclusión, los niveles de colesterol, triglicéridos y urea disminuyeron al adicionar extracto de Yucca en la dieta, aún cuando estos valores se encuentran dentro del rango de referencia obtenido en el presente estudio.
The effect of Yucca schidigera an the hematological values of growing and fattening pigs was studied. Thirty York x Landrace x Pietrain pigs (YLP) were assigned to three different treatments at random used for this research: T1, standard diet (sorghum-soybean); T2, standard diet + 120 g of De-Odorase® and T3, standard diet + 120 g of Amoprem®. The hematological values were evaluated in a blood sample with EDTA. Moreover, the biochemical profile of the animals was determined (creatinine, urea, total protein, albumin, cholesterol, triglyceride, and glucose) with the blood serum. To analyze the hematic values an analysis of variance was used, and the differences between means were inspected using Tukey´s test. In order to interpret the results of the hematological values, there were established reference values for the control treatment calculated by 95% confidence limits. The level of triglyceride (0.47, 0.32, and 0.33 mmol/l an T1, T2, and T3), cholesterol (1.39, 1.29, and 1.31 mmol/l) and urea (3.95, 3.84 and 3.67 mmol/l) in the growing pigs showed differences between treatments (P<0.05). In the fattening pigs, it was observed that the concentrations of triglyceride (0.36, 0.31 and 0.35 mmol/l), urea (4.61, 4.65 and 4.28 mmol/l) and total protein (5.50, 5.36 and 5.47 g/dl) decreased in the treatments when Yucca schidigera was added in the diet (P<0.05). The hematological profiles in the growing pigs didnt show differences (P>0.05); however, in the fattening pigs there were differences (P<0.05) in hemoglobin (18.31, 20.04, and 20.62 g/dl) neutrophils (18.15, 27.15, and 25.40%) and monocytes (13.45, 7.00, and 8.50%). So the conclusion is that the levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, and urea decreased when adding the Yucca schidigera extract in the diet, even when these values are found in the rank of reference obtained in the present study.

Los radicales libres o especies reactivas al oxigeno (ROS) se producen continuamente en el organismo como consecuencia de los procesos metabólicos normales y fuentes exógenas como el ejercicio intenso, situaciones de estrés, factores ambientales y agentes contaminantes (drogas y pesticidas). Un radical libre es una molécula o átomo que presenta al menos un electrón no apareado. Cuando la producción de ROS es excesiva, el resultado es el estrés oxidativo, término que se relaciona con el daño a las biomoléculas: proteínas, lípidos, carbohidratos y ADN. Asi mismo, se le ha relacionado con enfermedades que afectan a humanos y animales. La presente revisión tiene como objetivo revisar aspectos básicos del estrés oxidativo, así como la utilización de antioxidantes en las diferentes especies de animales domésticos
