(Wiley Open Access, 2021-07-29)
The European Commission asked EFSA to provide study designs for the investigation of four research domains (RDs) according to major gaps in knowledge identified by EFSA in a report published in 2019: ...
Assessing the relationship between the in silico predicted consequences of 97 missense mutations mapping to 68 genes related to lipid metabolism and their association with porcine fatness traits
(Elsevier, 2023-02-24)
In general, the relationship between the predicted functional consequences of missense mutations mapping to genes known to be involved in human diseases and the severity of disease manifestations is ...
Scientific Opinion on the assessment of the control measures of the category A diseases of Animal Health Law: African Swine Fever
(Wiley, 2021-01-31)
EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission to assess the effectiveness of some of the control measures against diseases included in the Category A list according to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 ...
Gestational Caloric Restriction Alters Adipose Tissue Methylome and Offspring’s Metabolic Profile in a Swine Model
(MDPI, 2024-01-17)
Limited nutrient supply to the fetus results in physiologic and metabolic adaptations that have unfavorable consequences in the offspring. In a swine animal model, we aimed to study the effects of ...
Analysis of the Sustainability of Fattening Systems for Iberian Traditional Pig Production through a Technical and Environmental Approach
(MDPI, 2021-02-05)
At present, two types of fattening are carried out in Iberian traditional pig production. The montanera is the fattening system where fatteners are fed on acorns and pasture in the dehesa, and cebo de ...
Individual behavioral correlates of tail biting in pre-finishing piglets
(Frontiers Media, 2022-12-05)
Tail biting is a widespread problem in pig production systems and has a negative impact on both animal welfare and farm income. This explorative study aims to validate how tail biting is related to ...
Species which may act as vectors or reservoirs of diseases covered by the Animal Health Law: Listed pathogens of crustaceans
(Wiley Open Access, 2023-08-01)
Vector or reservoir species of three diseases of crustaceans listed in the Animal Health Law were identified based on evidence generated through an extensive literature review, to support a possible ...
A toxicokinetic study reflecting the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of deoxynivalenol in broiler chickens
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021-06-26)
To identify the specific biomarkers of exposure of DON in chickens, a toxicokinetic study was performed via oral or intravenous application of deoxynivalenol (DON). Doses of 0.75 and 2.25 mg DON/kg of ...
Drinking water chlorination in dairy beef fattening bulls: water quality, potential hazards, apparent total tract digestibility, and growth performance
(Elsevier, 2022-11-21)
The first study aimed to evaluate the effect of drinking water disinfection (chlorination: NaClO 15%) and conditioning (acidification: H3PO4 diluted 1:5 in water) on water quality, water and feed ...
