Link-HD: a versatile framework to explore and integrate heterogeneous microbial communities
(Oxford University Press, 2019-11-18)
Motivation We present Link-HD, an approach to integrate multiple datasets. Link-HD is a generalization of ‘Structuration des Tableaux A Trois Indices de la Statistique–Analyse Conjointe de Tableaux’, a ...
Identification of candidate regulatory genes for intramuscular fatty acid composition in pigs by transcriptome analysis
(BMC, 2024-02-12)
Background
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition are typically controlled by several genes, each with a small effect. In the current study, to pinpoint candidate genes and ...
Short-Term Response of Chlorophyll a Concentration Due to Intense Wind and Freshwater Peak Episodes in Estuaries: The Case of Fangar Bay (Ebro Delta)
(MDPI, 2021-03-05)
Estuaries and coastal bays are areas of large spatio-temporal variability in physical and biological variables due to environmental factors such as local wind, light availability, freshwater inputs or ...
Understanding the future meat consumers
(Elsevier, 2022-08-06)
Revered, desired, hated and even persecuted, meat leaves almost no one indifferent. It is a fundamental element of our culture and traditions, and gives rise to numerous controversies, trends and social ...
Efficacy of recombinant Marek’s disease virus vectored vaccines with computationally optimized broadly reactive antigen (COBRA) hemagglutinin insert against genetically diverse H5 high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses
(Elsevier, 2021-03-11)
The genetic and antigenic drift associated with the high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of Goose/Guangdong (Gs/GD) lineage and the emergence of vaccine-resistant field viruses underscores ...
In a warm climate, ventilation, indoor temperature and outdoor relative humidity have significant effects on Campylobacter spp. colonization in chicken broiler farms which can occur in only 2 days
(Elsevier, 2022-08-28)
A longitudinal study was conducted in five conventional broiler farms during a 2-year period to determine the dynamics of Campylobacter infection in a warm climate region (north-eastern Spain). Weekly ...
Inheritance of spheroid body and plastid in the raphid diatom Epithemia (Bacillariophyta) during sexual reproduction
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-04-21)
Diatoms belonging to the family Epithemiaceae have endosymbiont ‘spheroid bodies’, which have received attention as a model to provide new insights into the early stages of organelle evolution. Uniparental ...
Potential sensitivity of pork production situations aiming at high-quality products to the use of entire male pigs as an alternative to surgical castrates
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-11-16)
The perspective of a possible ban on surgical castration of male pigs in the EU is a real challenge for pork production systems
aiming at (very) high-quality products. Information was collected from a ...
Is There a Link between Vomeronasalitis and Aggression in Stable Social Groups of Female Pigs?
(MDPI, 2022-01-26)
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is a bilateral chemosensory structure strongly involved in animal behaviour, thanks to its sensory epithelium (VNSE) that detects pheromones. Experimental VNO lesions can ...
The value of gut microbiota to predict feed efficiency and growth of rabbits under different feeding regimes
(Nature Research, 2021-09-30)
Gut microbiota plays an important role in nutrient absorption and could impact rabbit feed efciency.
This study aims at investigating such impact by evaluating the value added by microbial information
for ...
