Hierarchy Establishment in Growing Finishing Pigs: Impacts on Behavior, Growth Performance, and Physiological Parameters
(MDPI, 2023-01-14)
Pigs are social animals that live in groups with well-established social structures and have always been a key species in debates over farm animal welfare. However, intensive production systems often ...
Seroepidemiology of tuberculosis in sheep in southern Spain
(Elsevier, 2023-04-13)
Tuberculosis (TB) is a multi-host infectious disease caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC). In Mediterranean ecosystems, where multiple animal hosts of TB are present, ...
High hydrostatic pressure enhances the formation of oleocanthal and oleacein in ‘Arbequina’ olive fruit
(Elsevier, 2023-10-30)
During olive oil production, the activity of endogenous enzymes plays a crucial role in determining the oil’s
phenolic composition. β-Glucosidase contributes to the formation of secoiridoids, while ...
The Susceptibility Trends of Respiratory and Enteric Porcine Pathogens to Last-Resource Antimicrobials
(MDPI, 2023-10-28)
Monitoring the antimicrobial susceptibility of last-resource antimicrobials for veterinary
pathogens is urgently needed from a one-health perspective. The objective of this study was to analyze
the ...
Endogenous CO2 Overpressure Effect on Higher Alcohols Metabolism during Sparkling Wine Production
(MDPI, 2023-06-22)
Higher alcohols produced by yeast during the fermentation of sparkling wine must have the greatest impact on the smell and taste of wine. At present, the metabolic response to methanol and higher alcohols ...
Assessing automatic data processing algorithms for RGB-D cameras to predict fruit size and weight in apples
(Elsevier, 2023-10-07)
Data acquired using an RGB-D Azure Kinect DK camera were used to assess different automatic algorithms to estimate the size, and predict the weight of non-occluded and occluded apples. The programming ...
A single, episodic event of unilateral/bilateral scrotal swelling in a group of adult boars at an Austrian boar stud
(BMC, 2023-07-14)
Background
Scrotal swelling is a clinical situation which can be caused by different aetiologies. In this case report, we describe a multi-week episode of unilateral and bilateral scrotal swelling in ...
Effect of dietary seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) supplementation on milk mineral concentrations, transfer efficiency, and hematological parameters in lactating Holstein cows
(Elsevier, 2023-05-18)
This study investigated the effect of feeding seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) to dairy cows on milk mineral concentrations, feed-to-milk mineral transfer efficiencies and hematological parameters. Lactating ...
Reappraising the use of forearm rings for bat species
(Elsevier, 2023-09-10)
Long-term mark-recapture studies are essential for bat conservation. Over the last decades, millions of bats across
Europe and America have been marked with forearm rings for this purpose. Although it ...
Reducing Stocking Densities and Using Cooling Systems for More Adapted Pigs to High Temperatures When Reared in Intensive Conditions
(MDPI, 2023-07-27)
This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of reducing stocking density and using cooling systems to mitigate the negative effects of high temperatures in growing pigs (females and castrated males) ...
