Indirect genetic effect model using feeding behaviour traits to define the degree of interaction between mates: an implementation in pigs growth rate
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-06-06)
An alternative implementation of the animal model including indirect genetic effect (IGE) is presented considering pair-mate-specific interaction degrees to improve the performance of the model. Data ...
Comparison of vaccination protocols against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae during the gilt acclimation period
(Elsevier, 2018-12-12)
This study evaluated different gilt vaccination protocols againstMycoplasma (M.) hyopneumoniaeat acclimationand their effect on the genetic diversity. A total of 180M. hyopneumoniaenaïve gilts were ...
Effect of metritis on endometrium tissue transcriptome during puerperium in Holstein lactating cows
(Elsevier, 2018-09-15)
The objective of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the effect of parity and uterine healthstatus postpartum on the gene expression profile of the endometrium early post-partum. Twenty-fourHolstein ...
Typeability of MALDI-TOF assay for identification of non-aureus staphylococci associated with bovine intramammary infections and teat apex colonization
(Elsevier, 2018-08-09)
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF), a culture-dependent assay, has recently been implemented for routine identification of non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) species from ...
Co‐localization of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS‐CoV) and dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 in the respiratory tract and lymphoid tissues of pigs and llamas
(Wiley, 2018-12-06)
This study investigated the co‐localization of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS‐CoV) and its receptor dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP4) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) across respiratory ...

(BMC, 2018-10-30)
Background: Taenia solium and Taenia saginata are food-borne parasites of global importance. In eastern Europe only
fragmented information is available on the epidemiology of these zoonotic parasites ...
Testing of umbilical cords by real time PCR is suitable for assessing vertical transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus under field conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
The objective of this study was to test the suitability of umbilical cord (UC) sampling and ear vein swabbing (EVS) as alternatives to jugular vein bleeding (JVB) for the assessment of vertical transmission ...
Efficacy of Two Licensed Avian Influenza H5 Vaccines Against Challenge with a 2015 U.S. H5N2 clade 2.3.4.4 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus in Domestic Ducks
(American Association of Avian Pathologists, 2018-08-06)
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) clade 2.3.4.4 viruses from the H5 goose/Guangdong lineage caused a major outbreak in poultry in the United States in 2015. Although the outbreak was controlled, ...
Analysing the Expression of Eight Clock Genes in Five Tissues From Fasting and Fed Sows
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-18)
In a previous study, we observed that circadian clock genes are differentially expressed
in the skeletal muscle of fasting and fed sows. The goal of the current work was
to investigate if these genes ...
Diagnosis by ruling out other diseases or conditions
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-07-19)
Pig production is nowadays highly specialised, and is dominated by large, intensive, indoor-rearing production systems around the world. As farming systems have evolved, so also has our understanding ...
