Developmental and moult cycle related biochemical changes in larvae of the spider crab, Maja brachydactyla (Brachyura: Majidae)
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-09-30)
Ontogenetic changes in dry weight, elemental composition (CHN), and digestive enzyme activities (total
protease, amylase) were studied during the moulting cycle of all larval instars (zoea I-II, megalopa; ...
Symposium review: Decomposing efficiency of milk production and maximizing profit
(American Dairy Science Association, 2019-12-16)
The dairy industry has focused on maximizing milk yield, as it is believed that this maximizes profit mainly through dilution of maintenance costs. Efficiency of milk production has received, until ...
A global analysis of CNVs in swine using whole genome sequence data and association analysis with fatty acid composition and growth traits
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05-04)
Copy number variations (CNVs) are important genetic variants complementary to SNPs, and can be considered as biomarkers for some economically important traits in domestic animals. In the present study, ...
Coordinated Regulation of Chromatophore Differentiation and Melanogenesis during the Ontogeny of Skin Pigmentation of Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858)
(Public Library of Science, 2013-05-09)
Abnormal pigmentation of Senegalese sole has been described as one problem facing the full exploitation of its commercial production. To improve our understanding of flatfish pigmentation of this ...
SNP co-association and network analyses identify E2F3, KDM5A and BACH2 as key regulators of the bovine milk fatty acid profile
(Nature Research, 2017-12-11)
The fatty acid (FA) profle has a considerable impact on the nutritional and technological quality of milk
and dairy products. The molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of fat metabolism in ...
Fast skeletal muscle transcriptome of the Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) determined by next generation sequencing
(BMC, 2012-05-11)
Background: The gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) occurs around the Mediterranean and along Eastern Atlantic
coasts from Great Britain to Senegal. It is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures and ...
Advantages of using economic weights in animal production
(Universidad de Caldas, 2018-12-26)
Introduction: The economic evaluation of the
production systems can be performed using the gain function technique. Objective:To
carry out a review of the literature on the use of the profit function ...
A Rapid Transcriptome Response Is Associated with Desiccation Resistance in Aerially-Exposed Killifish Embryos
(Public Library of Science, 2013-05-31)
Delayed hatching is a form of dormancy evolved in some amphibian and fish embryos to cope with environmental conditions transiently hostile to the survival of hatchlings or larvae. While diapause and ...
Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Nature Research, 2016-08-18)
The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits
affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ...
Use of high concentrations of carbon dioxide for stunning rabbits reared for meat production
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2016-03-22)
An investigation was performed to determine whether high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) at 70-98% in atmospheric air are a suitable alternative for stunning rabbits compared to conventional
approaches ...
