Epigenetic regulation of the ELOVL6 gene is associated with a major QTL effect on fatty acid composition in pigs
(BMC, 2015-03-25)
Background: In previous studies on an Iberian x Landrace cross, we have provided evidence that supported the porcine ELOVL6 gene as the major causative gene of the QTL on pig chromosome 8 for palmitic ...
Advantages of using economic weights in animal production
(Universidad de Caldas, 2018-12-26)
Introduction: The economic evaluation of the
production systems can be performed using the gain function technique. Objective:To
carry out a review of the literature on the use of the profit function ...
Genetic comparison of milk production and composition in three maternal rabbit lines
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2014-12-18)
The aim of this study was to compare 3 Spanish maternal rabbit lines (A, V and LP) in terms of milk production and composition. These lines were founded on different criteria but selected for litter ...
Malignant infarction of the middle cerebral artery in a porcine model. A pilot study
(Public Library of Science, 2017-02-24)
Background and purpose. Interspecies variability and poor clinical translation from rodent studies indicate that large gyrencephalic animal stroke models are urgently needed. We present a proof-of-principle ...
Mixed management in growing and finishing pigs: Differences between gender and their impacts on behavior, growth performance, and physiological parameters
(Public Library of Science, 2023-04-13)
Mixing, a common management strategy used to regroup pigs, has been reported to impair individual performance and affect pig welfare because of the establishment of a new social hierarchy after regrouping. ...
Influence of pre-storage incubation on hatchability traits, thyroid hormones, antioxidative status and immunity of newly hatched chicks at two chicken breeder flock ages
(Elsevier, 2017-04-17)
Egg storage longer than 7 days is associated with negative effects on hatchability traits. Pre-storage incubation has been a suggested method to reduce the negative effects of long-term storage times ...
Parámetros genéticos de rasgos productivos de cuyes (Cavia porcellus) de las líneas Saños y Mantaro
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, 2022-06-29)
El objetivo del estudio fue estimar los componentes de varianzas, la heredabilidad y correlaciones genéticas y fenotípicas de los rasgos productivos de las líneas de cuyes Saños y Mantaro, desarrolladas ...
Integration of GWAS, pathway and network analyses reveals novel mechanistic insights into the synthesis of milk proteins in dairy cows
(Nature Research, 2018-01-12)
The quantities and proportions of protein fractions have notable effects on the nutritional and technological value of milk. Although much is known about the effects of genetic variants on milk proteins, ...
In vivo safety evaluation of the Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 strain in broilers, piglets, and turkeys
(SAGE Publications, 2019-02-11)
Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM 588) is a nonpathogenic, anaerobic, gram-positive bacillus characterized by the production of short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate. The safety and tolerance ...
Indirect genetic effects on the relationships between production and feeding behaviour traits in growing Duroc pigs
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-10-01)
Performance and feeding behaviour traits in growing pigs could be affected by social interaction effects when animals are raised in group. So, properly knowing the genetic correlations between direct ...
