Effect of increasing lignin in isoenergetic diets at two soluble fibre levels on digestion, performance and carcass quality of growing rabbits
(Elsevier, 2020-01-27)
To assess the effect of increasing dietary lignin in isoenergetic diets at two soluble fibre (SF) levels on digestion, performance and carcass quality of growing rabbits, four diets were formulated ...
Genetic parameters and associated genomic regions for global immunocompetence and other health-related traits in pigs
(Nature Research, 2020-10-28)
The inclusion of health-related traits, or functionally associated genetic markers, in pig breeding programs could contribute to produce more robust and disease resistant animals. The aim of the present ...
A pilot RNA-seq study in 40 pietrain ejaculates to characterize the porcine sperm microbiome
(Elsevier, 2020-08-15)
The microbiome plays a key role in homeostasis and health and it has been also linked to fertility and semen quality in several animal species including swine. Despite the more than likely importance ...
Maternal Transmission Ratio Distortion in Two Iberian Pig Varieties
(MDPI, 2020-09-05)
Transmission ratio distortion (TRD) is defined as the allele transmission deviation from the heterozygous parent to the offspring from the expected Mendelian genotypic frequencies. Although TRD can be ...
Second litter syndrome in Iberian pig breed: factors influencing the performance
(Elsevier, 2022-11-09)
Second litter syndrome (SLS) consists of a loss of prolificacy in the second parity (P2), when a sow presents the same or lower results for litter size than in the first parity (P1). This syndrome has ...
Genomic differentiation among varieties of Iberian pig
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2020-02-26)
Aim of study: The objective of this study was to identify the autosomal genomic regions associated with genetic differentiation between three commercial strains of Iberian pig.
Area of study: Extremadura ...
Admixture and breed traceability in European indigenous pig breeds and wild boar using genome-wide SNP data
(Nature Research, 2022-05-05)
Preserving diversity of indigenous pig (Sus scrofa) breeds is a key factor to (i) sustain the pork chain (both at local and global scales) including the production of high-quality branded products, (ii) ...
Social network analysis of agonistic behaviour and its association with economically important traits in pigs
(MDPI, 2020-11-16)
Aggression behaviour has several negative consequences on the performance and welfare of pigs. Here, the Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach was employed to (1) identify individual traits that describe ...
The value of gut microbiota to predict feed efficiency and growth of rabbits under different feeding regimes
(Nature Research, 2021-09-30)
Gut microbiota plays an important role in nutrient absorption and could impact rabbit feed efciency.
This study aims at investigating such impact by evaluating the value added by microbial information
for ...
Functional longevity in five rabbit lines founded on different criteria: Comparison at foundation and at fixed times after selection
(Wiley, 2021-03-08)
The enhancement of rabbit female functional longevity, that is the ability to avoid voluntary culling, is a paramount aspect for the sustainability of meat rabbit production; this trait represents a ...
