A meta-analysis of genetic and phenotypic diversity of European local pig breeds reveals genomic regions associated with breed differentiation for production traits
(BMC, 2023-12-07)
Background
Intense selection of modern pig breeds has resulted in genetic improvement of production traits while the performance of local pig breeds has remained lower. As local pig breeds have been ...
Solar drying in the vineyard: a sustainable technology for the recovery of nutrients from winery organic waste
(IWA Publishing, 2020-07-09)
The present study describes a pilot-scale experimental validation of a forced-convection greenhouse solar dryer, combined with a biofilter, for controlled atmospheric emissions. This set-up was applied ...
A catalog of microbial genes from the bovine rumen unveils a specialized and diverse biomass-degrading environment
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-05-30)
Background
The rumen microbiota provides essential services to its host and, through its role in ruminant production, contributes to human nutrition and food security. A thorough knowledge of the genetic ...
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 ...
Co-expression network analysis predicts a key role of microRNAs in the adaptation of the porcine skeletal muscle to nutrient supply
(BMC, 2020-01-17)
Background
The role of non-coding RNAs in the porcine muscle metabolism is poorly understood, with few studies investigating their expression patterns in response to nutrient supply. Therefore, we aimed ...
On the holobiont ‘predictome’ of immunocompetence in pigs
(BMC, 2023-05-01)
Background
Gut microbial composition plays an important role in numerous traits, including immune response. Integration of host genomic information with microbiome data is a natural step in the prediction ...
Milk fat globule membrane plus milk fat increase docosahexaenoic acid availability in infant formulas
(Springer, 2022-10-25)
Purpose
Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) has components with emulsifier properties that could affect the provision of substrates to the brain. We evaluated the effects of MFGM plus milk fat addition ...
Parámetros productivos y reproductivos de cuyes (Cavia porcellus) de las líneas Saños y Mantaro
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, 2021-06-23)
El objetivo del estudio fue determinar los parámetros productivos y reproductivos de las líneas de cuyes Saños y Mantaro, desarrollados en la Estación Experimental Agraria Santa Ana, en la sierra central ...
A cross-specific multiplicative binomial recursive model for the analysis of perinatal mortality in a diallel cross among three varieties of Iberian pig
(Nature Research, 2020-12-03)
Perinatal piglet mortality is an important factor in pig production from economic and animal welfare
perspectives; however, the statistical analysis of mortality is difcult because of its categorical ...
Dietary intake of bioactive ingredients impacts liver and adipose tissue transcriptomes in a porcine model of prepubertal early obesity
(Nature Research, 2020-03-25)
Global prevalence of obesity has increased to epidemic proportions over the past 40 years, with childhood obesity reaching alarming rates. In this study, we determined changes in liver and adipose tissue ...
