Trans-Generational Effect of Maternal Lactation during Pregnancy: A Holstein Cow Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-20)
Epigenetic regulation in mammals begins in the first stages of embryogenesis. This prenatal programming determines, in
part, phenotype expression in adult life. Some species, particularly dairy cattle, ...
Analysis of porcine adipose tissue transcriptome reveals differences in de novo fatty acid synthesis in pigs with divergent muscle fatty acid composition
(BMC, 2013-12-01)
Background: In pigs, adipose tissue is one of the principal organs involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism.
It is particularly involved in the overall fatty acid synthesis with consequences in ...
Segregation of Regulatory Polymorphisms with Effects on the Gluteus Medius Transcriptome in a Purebred Pig Population
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-24)
Background: The main goal of the present study was to analyse the genetic architecture of mRNA expression in muscle, a
tissue with an outmost economic importance for pig breeders. Previous studies have ...
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, ...
