Leveraging host-genetics and gut microbiota to determine immunocompetence in pigs
(BMC, 2021-10-24)
Background: The gut microbiota infuences host performance playing a relevant role in homeostasis and function of
the immune system. The aim of the present work was to identify microbial signatures ...
Decapod crustacean larval community structure of the submarine canyon off Blanes (NW Mediterranean Sea)
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2020-01-29)
Decapod crustacean fisheries play a crucial role on the northwestern Mediterranean coast due to their high commercial value. Although knowledge of larval ecology and recruitment dynamics of these species ...
Role of housing system and season on the carcass and meat quality traits of growing rabbits reared in Italian commercial farms
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2023-09-28)
The aim of this study was to compare the carcass traits and meat quality of growing rabbits reared in four types of commercially available housing systems (i.e. bicellular cages, dual-purpose cages, ...
A proposal of nitrogen balance in a very high density olive orchard
(El Oued University, 2016-05-01)
The nitrogen (N) balance was estimated in a very high density olive orchard in north- east of Spain, in order to calculate the inputs and outputs of N related to tree response and soil nitrogen availability. ...
Correlation between L-Lactate Concentrations in Beef Cattle, Obtained Using a Hand-Held Lactate Analyzer and a Lactate Assay Colorimetric Kit
(MDPI, 2021-03-25)
Lactate is a product of anaerobic glycolysis, used in animal research as an indicator of muscle fatigue. Therefore, it has been used as an indicator of cattle response to long distance transportation. ...
Pathological findings in genital organs of bulls naturally infected with Besnoitia besnoiti
