Surveying selected European feed and livestock production chains for features enabling the case-specific post-market monitoring of livestock for intake and potential health impacts of animal feeds derived from genetically modified crops
(Elsevier, 2017-10-06)
This review, which has been prepared within the frame of the European Union (EU)-funded project MARLON, surveys the organisation and characteristics of specific livestock and feed production chains ...
To what extent is climate change adaptation a novel challenge for agricultural modellers?
(Elsevier, 2019-07-29)
Modelling is key to adapting agriculture to climate change (CC), facilitating evaluation of the impacts and efficacy of adaptation measures, and the design of optimal strategies. Although there are many ...
Breeding programmes to improve male reproductive performance and efficiency of insemination dose production in paternal lines: feasibility and limitations
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2013-06-26)
This paper reviews the current genetic knowledge on issues related with the efficient use of bucks
in artificial insemination (AI). Differences between lines have been found to be relevant in semen ...
Use of re-esterified palm oils, differing in their acylglycerol structure, in weaning-piglet diets
(Elsevier, 2015-04-27)
Re-esterified oils are new fat sources obtained from chemical esterification of acid oils with glycerol (both economically interesting by-products from oil refining and biodiesel industries, respectively). ...
How far are we from providing pigs appropriate environmental enrichment?
(MDPI, 2019-09-24)
Genome data from a sixteenth century pig illuminate modern breed relationships
(Springer Nature, 2014-09-10)
Ancient DNA (aDNA) provides direct evidence of historical events that have modeled the genome of modern individuals. In livestock, resolving the differences between the effects of initial domestication ...
Effects of a participatory approach, with systematic impact matrix analysis in herd health planning in organic dairy cattle herds
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-08-10)
The animal health and welfare status in European organic dairy production does not in all aspects meet the organic principles and
consumers’ expectations and needs to be improved. To achieve this, ...
Time to Loss of Consciousness and Its Relation to Behavior in Slaughter Pigs during Stunning with 80 or 95% Carbon Dioxide
(Frontiers Media, 2016-05-19)
Exposure to CO2 at high concentration is a much debated stunning method in pigs. Pigs respond aversively to high concentrations of CO2, and there is uncertainty about what behaviors occur before and ...
Genetic comparison of milk production and composition in three maternal rabbit lines
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2014-12-18)
The aim of this study was to compare 3 Spanish maternal rabbit lines (A, V and LP) in terms of milk production and composition. These lines were founded on different criteria but selected for litter ...
Effect of Bacillus spp. direct-fed microbial on slurry characteristics and gaseous emissions in growing pigs fed with high fibre-based diets
(Elsevier, 2016-07-14)
A 26-day trial with 18 Pietrain × (Landrace × Duroc) pigs was conducted to investigate the effect of two dose levels of a specifically selected Bacillus spp. direct-fed microbial (DFM) product, on the ...
