Short communication: Performance, intestinal permeability, and metabolic profile of calves fed a milk replacer supplemented with glutamic acid
(American Dairy Science Association, 2019-11-13)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential benefits of supplementing glutamic acid in milk replacers (MR) with respect to calf performance, intestinal permeability, and metabolism. Sixty ...
A Rift Valley fever virus Gn ectodomain-based DNA vaccine induces a partial protection not improved by APC targeting
(Nature Research, 2018-04-20)
Rift Valley fever virus, a phlebovirus endemic in Africa, causes serious diseases in ruminants and humans. Due to the high probability of new outbreaks and spread to other continents where competent ...
Invasion genetics of the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus): recent anthropogenic introduction in Iberia
(PeerJ, 2019-02-08)
Human activities such as trade and transport have increased considerably in the last decades, greatly facilitating the introduction and spread of non-native species at a global level. In the Iberian ...
Characterization In Vitro and In Vivo of a Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Virus from a Fatal Case
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-10)
Pandemic 2009 H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza viruses caused mild symptoms in most infected patients. However, a greater rate of severe disease was observed in healthy young adults and children without co-morbid ...
Modulatory effect of protein and carotene dietary levels on pig gut microbiota
(Nature Research, 2019-10-10)
In this study we investigated the impact of dietary protein and carotene levels on microbial functions and composition during the last month of purebred fattening Duroc pigs. Fecal microbiota was ...
Indel detection from Whole Genome Sequencing data and association with lipid metabolism in pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2019-06-27)
The selection in commercial swine breeds for meat-production efficiency has been increasing among the past decades, reducing the intramuscular fat content, which has changed the sensorial and technological ...
Changes in the rumen and colon microbiota and effects of live yeast dietary supplementation during the transition from the dry period to lactation of dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2019-05-02)
The first objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics and their potential association with animal performance of the microbiota in both the rumen and colon of dairy cows as they move from a ...
Pig cognitive bias affects the conversion of muscle into meat by antioxidant and autophagy mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2017-04-18)
Slaughter is a crucial step in the meat production chain that could induce psychological stress on each animal, resulting in a physiological response that can differ among individuals. The aim of this ...
Systems analysis reveals complex biological processes during virus infection fate decisions
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2019-05-28)
The processes and mechanisms of virus infection fate decisions that are the result of a dynamic virus-immune system interaction with either an efficient effector response and virus elimination or an ...
Trends in recombinant protein use in animal production
(BMC, 2017-03-04)
Recombinant technologies have made possible the production of a broad catalogue of proteins of interest, including those used for animal production. The most widely studied proteins for the animal sector ...
