Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) No 2016/429): infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN)
(Wiley Open Access, 2023-06-12)
Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) was assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular, the criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on its ...
Biogas production from slaughterhouse waste: Effect of blood content and fat saponification
(Elsevier, 2021-08-12)
The effect of fat saponification and the inclusion or exclusion of blood in slaughterhouse mixtures were assessed in terms of anaerobic digestion performance. Mixtures of animal by-products (ABP) were ...
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 ...
Effect of phytase, carbohydrase, and protease addition to a wheat distillers dried grains with solubles and rapeseed based diet on in vitro ileal digestibility, growth, and bone mineral density of grower-finisher pigs
(Elsevier, 2018-07-07)
The use of rapeseed meal (RSM) and wheat distillers dried grains with solubles (wDDGS) in pig diets is increasingand dietary supplementation with exogenous enzymes has been suggested as means of improving ...
The Effects of Weaning Methods on Gut Microbiota Composition and Horse Physiology
(Frontiers Media, 2017-07-25)
Weaning has been described as one of the most stressful events in the life of horses. Given the importance of the interaction between the gut-brain axis and gut microbiota under stress, we evaluated (i) ...
Intramuscular vs. Intradermic Needle-Free Vaccination in Piglets: Relevance for Animal Welfare Based on an Aversion Learning Test and Vocalizations
(Frontiers Media, 2021-08-11)
The aim of the present study was to compare intramuscular injection with a needle and intradermic needle-free vaccinations against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) in piglets at 28 ...
The Optimal Valine to Lysine Ratio for Performance Parameters in Weaned Piglets
(MDPI, 2021-04-27)
The optimal digestible (d) Valine (Val) to d Lysine (Lys) ratio (dVal:dLys) in weaned
piglets was determined using two different regression models. A total of 200 piglets were allotted to
five feeding ...
Neurophysiological development of newborn pigs: effect of the sow’s parity number in eutocic farrowings
(CSIRO Publishing, 2017-12-05)
The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of sow parity on neonatal piglet health and vitality at birth. We evaluated 1505 neonate piglets, which were born of York–Landrace sows ...
Effects of Flavonoids Extracted from Citrus aurantium on Performance, Behavior, and Rumen Gene Expression in Holstein Bulls Fed with High-Concentrate Diets in Pellet Form
(MDPI, 2021-05-13)
Flavonoid supplementation may modify the behavior and rumen inflammatory response of fattening bulls, and this could be related to the concentrate presentation (mash or pellet) form. In the present ...
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 ...
