Comprehensive Analysis of Codon Usage Patterns in Chinese Porcine Circoviruses Based on Their Major Protein-Coding Sequences
(MDPI, 2022-01-03)
Porcine circoviruses (PCVs) are distributed in swine herds worldwide and represent a threat to the health of domestic pigs and the profits of the swine industry. Currently, four PCV species, including ...
Agricultural policies against invasive species generate contrasting outcomes for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation
(The Royal Society, 2022-10-19)
Direct consequences of biological invasions on biodiversity and the environment have been largely documented. Yet collateral indirect effects mediated by changes in agri-environmental policies aimed at ...
Effect of Ppd-A1 and Ppd-B1 Allelic Variants on Grain Number and Thousand Kernel Weight of Durum Wheat and Their Impact on Final Grain Yield
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018-06-29)
The main yield components in durum wheat are grain number per unit area (GN) and
thousand kernel weight (TKW), both of which are affected by environmental conditions.
The most critical developmental ...
Indirect genetic effect model using feeding behaviour traits to define the degree of interaction between mates: an implementation in pigs growth rate
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-06-06)
An alternative implementation of the animal model including indirect genetic effect (IGE) is presented considering pair-mate-specific interaction degrees to improve the performance of the model. Data ...
Networks of inbreeding coefficients in a selected population of rabbits
(Wiley, 2020-08-17)
The correlation between pedigree and genomic‐based inbreeding coefficients is usually discussed in the literature. However, some of these correlations could be spurious. Using partial correlations and ...
Role played by the environment in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the food chain
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-06-17)
The role of food-producing environments in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in EU plant-based food production, terrestrial animals (poultry, cattle and pigs) and aquaculture ...
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 ...
Novel phenotypes of feeding and social behaviour and their relationship with individual rabbit growth and feed efficiency
(Elsevier, 2024-01-30)
Due to the lack of a recording system for individual consumption of group-housed rabbits, published studies about feeding behaviour are based on information recorded at the group- and not at the individual ...
Relationship between Salmonella infection, shedding and serology in fattening pigs in low–moderate prevalence areas
(Wiley, 2018-04-27)
Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen causing important zoonosis worldwide. Pigs asymptomatically infected in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) can be intermittent shedders of the pathogen through faeces, ...
PLANT UNCOUPLING MITOCHONDRIAL PROTEIN 2 localizes to the Golgi
(Oxford University Press; American Society of Plant Biologists, 2023-10-11)
Mitochondria act as cellular hubs of energy transformation and metabolite conversion in most ukaryotes. Plant mitochondrial electron transport chains are particularly flexible, featuring components that ...
