African swine fever in wild boar
(Wiley, 2018-07-11)
The European Commission requested EFSA to compare the reliability of wild boar density estimates across the EU and to provide guidance to improve data collection methods. Currently, the only EU-wide ...
Expression analysis of candidate genes for fatty acid composition in adipose tissue and identifcation of regulatory regions
(Nature Research, 2018-02-01)
The aim of this work was to study the genetic basis of the backfat expression of lipid-related genes
associated with meat quality traits in pigs. We performed a genome-wide association study with ...
Diversity across major and candidate genes in European local pig breeds
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11-20)
The aim of this work was to analyse the distribution of causal and candidate mutations associated to relevant productive traits in twenty local European pig breeds. Also, the potential of the SNP panel ...
Using genome wide association studies to identify common QTL regions in three different genetic backgrounds based on Iberian pig breed
(PLoS ONE, 2018-03-09)
One of the major limitation for the application of QTL results in pig breeding and QTN identification has been the limited number of QTL effects validated in different animal material. The aim
of the ...
Characterization of bacterial microbiota compositions along the intestinal tract in pigs and their interactions and functions
(Springer Nature, 2018-08-28)
In addition to its value in meat production, the pig is an interesting animal model for human digestive tract studies due to its physiological similarities. The aim of this study was to describe the ...
Risk of survival, establishment and spread of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in the EU
(Wiley, 2018-04-30)
Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is an emerging fungal pathogen of salamanders. Despite limited surveillance, Bsal was detected in kept salamanders populations in Belgium, Germany, Spain, the ...
Evaluation of ultraviolet‐C and spray‐drying processes as two independent inactivation steps on enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 and K99 strains inoculated in fresh unconcentrated porcine plasma
(Wiley, 2018-08-28)
The objectives of this study were to assess the effectiveness of an ultraviolet (UV‐C, 254 nm) irradiation system and the spray‐drying method as two independent safety steps on inactivation of Escherichia ...
Combined effects of spray‐drying conditions and postdrying storage time and temperature on Salmonella choleraesuis and Salmonella typhimurium survival when inoculated in liquid porcine plasma
(Wiley, 2018-06-11)
The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the spray-drying process on the inactivation of Salmonella choleraesuis and Salmonella typhimurium spiked in liquid porcine plasma and ...
