Reducing Stocking Densities and Using Cooling Systems for More Adapted Pigs to High Temperatures When Reared in Intensive Conditions
(MDPI, 2023-07-27)
This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of reducing stocking density and using cooling systems to mitigate the negative effects of high temperatures in growing pigs (females and castrated males) ...
Effect of animal mixing as a stressor on biomarkers of autophagy and oxidative stress during pig muscle maturation
(Elsevier, 2015-04-08)
The objective of this work was to study the postmortem evolution of potential biomarkers of autophagy (Beclin 1, LC3-II/LC3-I ratio) and oxidative stress (total antioxidant activity, TAA; superoxide ...
Hippocampal neurogenesis and Arc expression are enhanced in high-fat fed prepubertal female pigs by a diet including omega-3 fatty acids and Bifidobacterium breve CECT8242
(Springer, 2023-05-06)
Obesity during childhood has become a pandemic disease, mainly caused by a diet rich in sugars and fatty acids. Among other negative effects, these diets can induce cognitive impairment and reduce ...
Short Communication: The biological value of transition milk: analyses of Immunoglobulin G, IGF-I and Lactoferrin in primiparous and multiparous dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2023-05-24)
Colostrum (the first mammary gland secretion after calving) is known to contain high concentrations of nutrients as well as bioactive substances (including immunoglobulins, growth factors, and antimicrobial ...
Changes in cortisol and cortisone in hair of pigs reared under heat stress conditions
(Frontiers Media, 2023-07-18)
Heat stress accounts for millions of dollars in losses for swine producers
worldwide. The aim of the present study was to determine and evaluate cortisol
and cortisone in hair as indicators of thermal ...
Interrelation between gut microbiota, SCFA, and fatty acid composition in pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-12-14)
The gut microbiota is a key player in the host metabolism. Some bacteria are able to ferment non-digestible compounds and produce short-chain fatty acids that the host can later transform and accumulate ...
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 ...
Lactic acid bacteria: reviewing the potential of a promising delivery live vector for biomedical purposes
(BMC, 2015-09-16)
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have a long history of safe exploitation by humans, being used for centuries in food production and preservation and as probiotic agents to promote human health. Interestingly, ...
