Biosecurity in pig farms: a review
(BMC, 2021-01-04)
The perception of the importance of animal health and its relationship with biosecurity has increased in recent years with the emergence and re-emergence of several diseases difficult to control. This ...
Antimicrobial Resistance in Pasteurellaceae Isolates from Pyrenean Chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica) and Domestic Sheep in an Alpine Ecosystem
(MDPI, 2021-06-05)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has spread worldwide due to the inappropriate use of antimicrobial drugs in human and veterinary medicine, becoming a public health problem. However, little is known about ...
Monitoring Natural SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Lions (Panthera leo) at the Barcelona Zoo: Viral Dynamics and Host Responses
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
To date, no evidence supports the fact that animals play a role in the epidemiology of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of the coronavirus infectious ...
Deletion Mutants of the Attenuated Recombinant ASF Virus, BA71ΔCD2, Show Decreased Vaccine Efficacy
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
African swine fever (ASF) has become the major threat to the global swine industry. Lack
of available commercial vaccines complicates the implementation of global control strategies. So
far, only live ...
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 ...
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 ...
Transmission of Similar Mcr-1 Carrying Plasmids among Different Escherichia coli Lineages Isolated from Livestock and the Farmer
(MDPI, 2021-03-17)
Colistin use has mostly been stopped in human medicine, due to its toxicity. However, nowadays, it still is used as a last-resort antibiotic to treat hospital infections caused by multi-drug resistant ...

(Public Library of Science, 2021-04-28)
Spray-dried animal plasma (SDAP) is widely used in diets of domestic animals to improve health status and increase growth and feed efficiency. Individual steps in the SDAP manufacturing process, including ...
Foraging in the Anthropocene: Feeding plasticity of an opportunistic predator revealed by long term monitoring
(Elsevier, 2021-07-08)
For centuries, human activities have altered the population dynamics of wildlife. New anthropogenic food sources provide a predictable and abundant food supply that often induces very significant ...
Expression analysis of porcine miR-33a/b in liver, adipose tissue and muscle and its potential role in fatty acid metabolism
(Public Library of Science, 2021-01-26)
mir-33a and mir-33b are co-transcribed with the SREBF2 and SREBF1 transcription factors, respectively. The main role of SREBF1 is the regulation of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, while SREBF2 ...
