PrISM at Operational Scale: Monitoring Irrigation District Water Use during Droughts
(MDPI, 2024-03-22)
Efficient water management strategies are of utmost importance in drought-prone regions, given the fundamental role irrigation plays in avoiding yield losses and food shortages. Traditional methodologies ...
Leishmania Infection in Wild Lagomorphs and Domestic Dogs in North-East Spain
(MDPI, 2024-04-02)
Leishmania infantum is a zoonotic protozoan parasite distributed worldwide that is transmitted
by phlebotomine sandflies. Dogs are the main reservoir for human infections. However, in recent years,
the ...
Effect of Bivalves’ Sand Burial Capacity on Predation in the Invasive Blue Crab, Callinectes sapidus
(MDPI, 2024-06-20)
In the Ebro Delta (Catalonia, Spain), the abundance of burrowing bivalves has dramatically decreased, with the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, being blamed by shellfish collectors. Trends from 2010 ...
Impact of the diet in the gut microbiota after an inter-species microbial transplantation in fish
(Nature Research, 2024-02-18)
Inter-species microbial transplantations offer the possibility of transferring species-specific microbes and their associated functionality. As a conceptual approach, an intestinal microbiota transplant ...
A New Biosynthetic 6-Phytase Added at 500 Phytase Unit/kg Diet Improves Growth Performance, Bone Mineralization, and Nutrient Digestibility and Retention in Weaned Piglets and Growing–Finishing Pigs
(MDPI, 2024-06-03)
Two experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of a biosynthetic 6-phytase added at
500 phytase unit (FTU)/kg diet on growth performance, bone mineralization, and nutrient digestibility and ...
Development of a new loop-mediated isothermal amplification test for the sensitive, rapid, and economic detection of different genotypes of Classical swine fever virus
(Frontiers Media, 2024-04-15)
Background: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains one of the most
important pathogens in animal health. Pathogen detection relies on viral RNA
extraction followed by RT-qPCR. Novel technologies ...
Recent Advances in Enteric Methane Mitigation and the Long Road to Sustainable Ruminant Production
(Annual Reviews, 2024-02)
Mitigation of methane emission, a potent greenhouse gas, is a worldwide priority to limit global warming. A substantial part of anthropogenic methane is emitted by the livestock sector, as methane is a ...
Nitrosyl-Heme and Heme Iron Intake from Processed Meats in Subjects from the EPIC-Spain Cohort
(MDPI, 2024-03-18)
Background: The consumption of processed and red meats is linked to the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer. Various theories have been proposed to explain this connection, focusing on nitrosyl-heme ...
Effect of organic fertilisation on soil phosphatase activity, phosphorus availability and forage yield in mountain permanent meadows
(Elsevier, 2024-04-08)
Grassland management aims to ensure sufficient yield, forage quality and biodiversity. Robust knowledge supports sustainable management practices. In South Tyrol (NE Italy), we studied the effect of ...
