Genetic comparison of milk production and composition in three maternal rabbit lines
(World Rabbit Science, 2014-12-18)The aim of this study was to compare 3 Spanish maternal rabbit lines (A, V and LP) in terms of milk production and composition. These lines were founded on different criteria but selected for litter ... -
No transmission of hepatitis E virus in pigs fed diets containing commercial spray-dried porcine plasma: a retrospective study of samples from several swine trials
(Virology Journal, 2014-12-24)Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has been reported in the human population and pigs are a recognized reservoir for HEV and a possible source of HEV transmission to humans. Spray-dried porcine plasma ... -
Genomics of Ecological Adaptation in Cactophilic Drosophila
(Genome Biology and Evolution, 2014-12-31)Cactophilic Drosophila species provide a valuable model to study gene–environment interactions and ecological adaptation. Drosophila buzzatii and Drosophila mojavensis are two cactophilic species that ... -
An attempt to predict conformation and fatness in bulls by means of artificial neural networks using weight, age and breed composition information
(Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2015)The present study aimed to predict conformation and fatness grades in bulls based on data available at slaughter (carcass weight, age and breed proportions) by means of counter-propagation artificial ... -
Spray-dried plasma promotes growth, modulates the activity of antioxidant defenses, and enhances the immune status of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fingerlings
(Journal of Animal Science, 2015-01-01)Terrestrial animal byproduct meals, including nonruminant blood meal and blood products, represent the largest and largely untapped safe source of animal protein available within the international market ... -
Scientific Opinion on peste des petits ruminants
(EFSA Journal, 2015-01-13)Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a severe viral disease of small ruminants caused by a Morbillivirus closely related to rinderpest virus. It is widespread in Africa and Asia and is currently also ... -
Scientific Opinion on lumpy skin disease
(EFSA Journal, 2015-01-13)Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease of cattle characterised by severe losses, especially in naive animals. LSD is endemic in many African and Asian countries, and it is rapidly spreading throughout ... -
Mitochondrial aquaporin-8-mediated hydrogen peroxide transport is essential for teleost spermatozoon motility
(Scientific Reports, 2015-01-14)Reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cause oxidative cell damage and inhibit sperm function. In most oviparous fishes that spawn in seawater (SW), spermatozoa may be ... -
Lactating performance, water and feed consumption of rabbit does reared under a Mediterranean summer circadian cycle of temperature v. comfort temperature conditions
(Animal, 2015-01-16)The general aim of this research was to study the effect of high ambient temperature on the performance of does during lactation, specifically the following factors: average daily feed (ADFI) and water ... -
Use of targeted SNP selection for an improved anchoring of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) scaffold genome assembly
(BMC Genomics, 2015-01-22)Background: The genome of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) double-haploid line DHL92 was recently sequenced, with 87.5 and 80.8% of the scaffold assembly anchored and oriented to the 12 linkage groups, ... -
The pH sensitivity of Aqp0 channels in tetraploid and diploid teleosts
(FASEB Journal, 2015-02-09)Water homeostasis and the structural integrity of the vertebrate lens is partially mediated by AQP0 channels. Emerging evidence indicates that external pH may be involved in channel gating. Here we ... -
