- Comunicación química en mamíferos domésticos María de Lourdes Arteaga Castañeda Rosalinda Guevara Guzmán Margarita Martínez Gómez Robyn Hudson Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) FLEHM HORMONES PHEROMONES SKIN GLANDS SCENT MARKING This study briefl y reviews what is currently known about chemical communication in domestic mammals and the rel-evance of such information for animal management and clinical practice. There is now a range of notable examples demonstrating the importance of chemical signals in regulating domestic animals lives. Species known to use chemical signals with pheromone-like properties include pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, cats, dogs, rabbits, mice and hamsters. These signals are contained in secretions from skin glands, from the reproductive tract, and in urine and feces. They may be simply emitted into the environment from the site of production or storage, or actively deposited on particular sub-strates or on conspecifi cs, often by way of distinctive and stereotyped marking behaviors. They are then detected and processed via the main and/or accessory olfactory systems of conspecifi cs, after which, depending on the physiological state of the receiver, they elicit specifi c behavioral and/or physiological responses. In addition to giving examples illus-trating these points, it is briefl y mentioned the potential application of chemical signals to the management of livestock, pets and laboratory animals, as well as in clinical practice. 2007 artículo científico 0301-5092 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42338109 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=423 Veterinaria México application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Veterinaria México (México) Num.1 Vol.38
