Vers une amélioration de la détection des chaleurs dans les troupeaux bovins grâce à une nouvelle méthode de diagnostic et de conseil (DetŒstrus)
La détection des chaleurs est une étape clé de la mise à la reproduction dans les troupeaux pratiquant l'insémination animale (IA). La qualité de la détection est difficile à évaluer rendant délicat le conseil dans ce domaine. "DetŒstrus" est une nouvelle méthode de diagnostic et de conseil centrée sur la détection des chaleurs et utilisable par les conseillers dans les troupeaux bovins où l'IA est pratiquée. L'objectif de ce document est de présenter cette méthode et sa première évaluation sur le terrain. Cette méthode est innovante dans la mesure où elle permet de distinguer les problèmes liés à la vache (défaut de cyclicité post-partum, de niveau d'expression des chaleurs) de ceux liés aux pratiques de l'éleveur (défaut de sensibilité, de spécificité de la détection), et ainsi de proposer des solutions ciblées et adaptées aux contraintes et objectifs de l'éleveur. La méthode se présente sous la forme d'un document Excel® organisé en fiches qui servent de support lors de l'audit et se décline en deux versions (laitière et allaitante). La version laitière comprend une estimation de la sensibilité et de la spécificité de la détection grâce à des équations de prédiction utilisant des données facilement accessibles en exploitation et prenant en compte le niveau d'expression des chaleurs des vaches. La version allaitante comprend un simulateur permettant d'estimer la reprise de cyclicité post-partum dans le troupeau, et donc de planifier la surveillance des chaleurs pour une utilisation facilitée de l'IA. Un premier test en exploitation de la méthode montre que 89% des conseillers (40/45) et la totalité des éleveurs (24/24) ont jugé l'audit satisfaisant. 91% des éleveurs (21/23) se sentent "mieux armés" sur la détection des chaleurs après l'audit. La durée totale de l'audit (préparation et intervention) a été de 3h ± 1h en troupeaux laitiers et 2h10 ± 42min en troupeaux allaitants. Les retours de l'essai ont permis d'optimiser la méthode prochainement disponible en téléchargement gratuit sur le site de l'Institut de l'Elevage
FOXL2 is a Progesterone Target Gene in the Endometrium of Ruminants
Forkhead Box L2 (FOXL2) is a member of the FOXL class of transcription factors, which are essential for ovarian differentiation and function. In the endometrium, FOXL2 is also thought to be important in cattle; however, it is not clear how its expression is regulated. The maternal recognition of pregnancy signal in cattle, interferon-Tau, does not regulate FOXL2 expression. Therefore, in the present study, we examined whether the ovarian steroid hormones that orchestrate implantation regulate FOXL2 gene expression in ruminants. In sheep, we confirmed that FOXL2 mRNA and protein was expressed in the endometrium across the oestrous cycle (day 4 to day 15 post-oestrus). Similar to the bovine endometrium, ovine FOXL2 endometrial expression was low during the luteal phase of the oestrous cycle (4 to 12 days post-oestrus) and at implantation (15 days post-oestrus) while mRNA and protein expression significantly increased during the luteolytic phase (day 15 post-oestrus in cycle). In pregnant ewes, inhibition of progesterone production by trilostane during the day 5 to 16 period prevented the rise in progesterone concentrations and led to a significant increase of FOXL2 expression in caruncles compared with the control group (1.4-fold, p < 0.05). Ovariectomized ewes or cows that were supplemented with exogenous progesterone for 12 days or 6 days, respectively, had lower endometrial FOXL2 expression compared with control ovariectomized females (sheep, mRNA, 1.8-fold; protein, 2.4-fold; cattle; mRNA, 2.2-fold; p < 0.05). Exogenous oestradiol treatments for 12 days in sheep or 2 days in cattle did not affect FOXL2 endometrial expression compared with control ovariectomized females, except at the protein level in both endometrial areas in the sheep. Moreover, treating bovine endometrial explants with exogenous progesterone for 48h reduced FOXL2 expression. Using in vitro assays with COS7 cells we also demonstrated that progesterone regulates the FOXL2 promoter activity through the progesterone receptor. Collectively, our findings imply that endometrial FOXL2 is, as a direct target of progesterone, involved in early pregnancy and implantation
Multiword expressions at length and in depth: Extended papers from the MWE 2017 workshop
The annual workshop on multiword expressions takes place since 2001 in conjunction with major computational linguistics conferences and attracts the attention of an ever-growing community working on a variety of languages, linguistic phenomena and related computational processing issues. MWE 2017 took place in Valencia, Spain, and represented a vibrant panorama of the current research landscape on the computational treatment of multiword expressions, featuring many high-quality submissions. Furthermore, MWE 2017 included the first shared task on multilingual identification of verbal multiword expressions. The shared task, with extended communal work, has developed important multilingual resources and mobilised several research groups in computational linguistics worldwide.
This book contains extended versions of selected papers from the workshop. Authors worked hard to include detailed explanations, broader and deeper analyses, and new exciting results, which were thoroughly reviewed by an internationally renowned committee. We hope that this distinctly joint effort will provide a meaningful and useful snapshot of the multilingual state of the art in multiword expressions modelling and processing, and will be a point point of reference for future work
