Efect of feed restriction on the environmental variability of birth weight in divergently selected lines of mice
(BMC, 2019-06-13)
Selection of mice for decreased environmental variability of birth weight has achieved higher survivability and larger litter size as a correlated response to canalized selection, which suggests higher ...
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 ...
The effect of diet on the structure of gut bacterial community of sympatric pair of whitefishes (Coregonus lavaretus): one story more
(PeerJ, 2019-12-03)
In the Coregonus lavaretus complex may be found lacustrine sympatric pairs, which serves as an intriguing model for studying different aspects of fish evolutionary biology. One such sympatric whitefish ...
Should animal welfare regulations be more restrictive? A case study in eight European Union Countries
(MDPI, 2019-04-25)
Increasingly, intensive livestock production systems have increased societal concern
regarding the current animal welfare standards. We investigated whether individuals in their roles
as consumers and ...
Prevalence and lameness-associated risk factors in Alberta feedlot cattle
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03-13)
Lameness in cattle is a health and welfare concern; however, limited information is available on risk factors and the relationship between lameness and common diseases like bovine respiratory disease ...
Haemophilus parasuis VtaA2 is involved in adhesion to extracellular proteins
(BMC, 2019-09-23)
Haemophilus parasuis is part of the microbiota of the upper respiratory tract in swine. However, virulent strains can cause a systemic disease known as Glässer’s disease. Several virulence factors have ...
Global monitoring of antimicrobial resistance based on metagenomics analyses of urban sewage
(Nature Research, 2019-03-08)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to global public health, but obtaining representative data on AMR for healthy human populations is difficult. Here, we use metagenomic analysis of ...
Symposium review: Decomposing efficiency of milk production and maximizing profit
(American Dairy Science Association, 2019-12-16)
The dairy industry has focused on maximizing milk yield, as it is believed that this maximizes profit mainly through dilution of maintenance costs. Efficiency of milk production has received, until ...
Dynamics of the Pacific Oyster Pathobiota during mortality episodes in Europe assessed by 16S rRNA gene profiling and a new target enrichment next‐generation sequencing strategy
(Wiley, 2019-07-20)
Infectious agents such as the bacteria Vibrio aestuarianus or Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV‐1) have been repeatedly associated with dramatic disease outbreaks of Crassostrea gigas beds in Europe. Beside ...
Whole rumen metagenome sequencing allows classifying and predicting feed efficiency and intake levels in cattle
(Nature Research, 2019-01-09)
The current research was carried out to determine the associations between the rumen microbiota and traits related with feed efficiency in a Holstein cattle population (n = 30) using whole metagenome ...
