(Elsevier, 2018-02-06)
The aim of this study was to characterise bacteria in the genus Bergeyella isolated from the nasal passages of healthy piglets. Nasal swabs from 3 to 4 week-old piglets from eight commercial domestic ...
An attempt to predict conformation and fatness in bulls by means of artificial neural networks using weight, age and breed composition information
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 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 ...
Review of the speculative role of co-infections in Streptococcus suis-associated diseases in pigs
(BMC, 2021-03-20)
Streptococcus suis is one of the most important bacterial swine pathogens affecting post-weaned piglets, causing mainly meningitis, arthritis and sudden death. It not only results in severe economic ...
