Startup strategy for nitrogen removal via nitrite in a BAF system
(Springer, 2018-10-26)
A biological aerated filter (BAF) pilot plant consisting of two reactors (aerobic and anoxic one) was used to determine a strategy to remove nitrogen via nitrite. RNA/DNA analysis was performed to assess ...
A Rift Valley fever virus Gn ectodomain-based DNA vaccine induces a partial protection not improved by APC targeting
(Nature Research, 2018-04-20)
Rift Valley fever virus, a phlebovirus endemic in Africa, causes serious diseases in ruminants and humans. Due to the high probability of new outbreaks and spread to other continents where competent ...
Freshwater ecotoxicity assessment of pesticide use in crop production: Testing the influence of modeling choices
(Elsevier, 2018-10-28)
Pesticides help to control weeds, pests, and diseases contributing, therefore, to food availability. However, pesticide fractions not reaching the intended target may have adverse effects on the environment ...
Egg quality variability in common dentex (Dentex dentex, L.): Comparison of different quality indexes
(Elsevier, 2018-11-10)
The egg quality of two common dentex captive broodstocks were monitored for two consecutive years during their natural spawning season. Volume of spawned eggs, volume of buoyant eggs, fertilization rate, ...
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 ...
Tracking Toxoplasma gondii in freshwater ecosystems: interaction with the invasive American mink (Neovison vison) in Spain
(Springer Verlag, 2018-05-21)
Water-borne transmission may play an important role in the epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii. Mammals closely related to freshwater ecosystems, such as the American mink (Neovison vison), are potentially ...
Dietary soybean lecithin affects growth performance, fillet biochemical composition and digestive enzyme activity in Sparidentex hasta juvenile
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-12-18)
An eight-week study was conducted on silvery-black porgy (Sparidentex hasta) juveniles to evaluate four isoproteic, isolipidic and isoenergetic different diets (50% crude protein, 20% crude lipids, ...
Acclimation strategies in gilts to control Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection
(Elsevier, 2018-04-04)
This paper discusses what can be expected with regard to efficacy of antibacterial vaccines used in swine, based on the present knowledge of pathogen–host interactions. First, vaccination against bacteria ...
Bayesian hierarchical model for comparison of different nonlinear function and genetic parameter estimates of meat quails
(Oxford University Press, 2018-12-07)
This study aimed to compare different nonlinear functions to describe the growth curve of European quails and to estimate growth curve parameters, (co)variance components, and genetic and systematic ...
Guidance on the assessment criteria for applications for new or modified stunning methods regarding animal protection at the time of killing
(Wiley, 2018-07-19)
This guidance defines the process for handling applications on new or modified stunning methods and the parameters that will be assessed by the EFSA Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW) Panel. The applications, ...
