An association analysis for 14 candidate genes mapping to meat quality quantitative trait loci in a Duroc pig population reveals that the ATP1A2 genotype is highly associated with muscle electric conductivity
(Wiley, 2019-10-21)
In previous GWAS carried out in a Duroc commercial line (Lipgen population), we detected on pig chromosomes 3, 4 and 14 several QTL for gluteus medius muscle redness (GM a*), electric conductivity in ...
Genome‐wide detection of copy number variants in European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds by whole‐genome sequencing of DNA pools identified breed‐characterising copy number states
(Wiley, 2020-06-08)
In this study, we identified copy number variants (CNVs) in 19 European autochthonous pig breeds and in two commercial breeds (Italian Large White and Italian Duroc) that represent important genetic ...
Improving Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae diagnostic capabilities by harnessing the infection dynamics
(Elsevier, 2022-07-25)
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae remains one of the most problematic bacterial pathogens for pig production. Despite an abundance of observational and laboratory testing capabilities for this organism, diagnostic ...
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 ...
Increasing breast milk betaine modulates Akkermansia abundance in mammalian neonates and improves long-term metabolic health
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-03-31)
Accelerated postnatal growth is a potentially modifiable risk factor for future obesity. To study how specific breast milk components contribute to early growth and obesity risk, we quantified one-carbon ...
Molecular detection of Treponema species organisms in foremilk and udder cleft skin of dairy cows with digital dermatitis
(Springer, 2019-09-13)
Identification of reservoirs and transmission routes of digital dermatitis (DD)-associated Treponema spp. is considered an effective means for controlling DD infection in dairy cows. The objective of ...
Retrospective study on transmissible viral proventriculitis and chicken proventricular necrosis virus (CPNV) in the UK
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-10-21)
Chicken proventricular necrosis virus (CPNV) is a recently described birnavirus, which has been proposed to be the cause of transmissible viral proventriculitis (TVP). The understanding of the epidemiology ...
Oropharyngeal botryomycosis in a geriatric mare
(Wiley, 2017-11-27)
Botryomycosis is an uncommon chronic bacterial infection that can have cutaneous and visceral involvement. This report describes an 18‐year‐old mixed‐breed mare presented with dysphagia, dyspnoea and ...
Examining the cooperativity mode of antibody and CD8+ T cell immune responses for vaccinology
(Elsevier, 2021-09-21)
A fundamental unsolved issue in vaccine design is how neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells cooperate numerically in controlling virus infections. We hypothesize on a viewpoint for the ...
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 ...
