Functional inclusion bodies produced in the yeast Pichia pastoris
(BMC, 2016-10-01)
Background: Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) are non‑toxic protein aggregates commonly produced in recombinant bacteria. They are formed by a mixture of highly stable amyloid‑like fibrils and releasable ...
Complex Particulate Biomaterials as Immunostimulant-Delivery Platforms
(Public Library of Science, 2016-10-07)
The control of infectious diseases is a major current challenge in intensive aquaculture. Most commercial vaccines are based on live attenuated or inactivated pathogens that are usually combined with ...
Effect of Bacillus spp. direct-fed microbial on slurry characteristics and gaseous emissions in growing pigs fed with high fibre-based diets
(Elsevier, 2016-07-14)
A 26-day trial with 18 Pietrain × (Landrace × Duroc) pigs was conducted to investigate the effect of two dose levels of a specifically selected Bacillus spp. direct-fed microbial (DFM) product, on the ...
Short communication: Emergence of a new race of leaf rust with combined virulence to Lr14a and Lr72 genes on durum wheat
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2016-08-31)
Leaf rust is a foliar disease caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina that may severely reduce durum wheat yield. Resistance to this pathogen is common in modern durum germplasm but is frequently based ...
Imaging technologies to study the composition of live pigs: a review
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2016-08-31)
Image techniques are increasingly being applied to livestock animals. This paper overviews recent advances in image processing analysis for live pigs, including ultrasound, visual image analysis by ...
Changes in durum wheat root and aerial biomass caused by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation
(Springer, 2016-01-27)
Aims This study aimed to quantify the changes in root and aerial biomass of durum wheat brought about by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation. Methods A ...
Crossbreeding effects on rabbit reproduction from four maternal lines of rabbits
(Elsevier, 2016-01-07)
Litter size is essential for an efficient production of rabbit meat. A diallel cross between four maternal lines was carried out and the analysis of the components of litter size has been already done. ...
Assessing the health status of managed honeybee colonies (HEALTHY-B): a toolbox to facilitate harmonised data collection
(Wiley Open Access, 2016-10-25)
Tools are provided to assess the health status of managed honeybee colonies by facilitating further
harmonisation of data collection and reporting, design of field surveys across the European Union ...
Urgent advice on lumpy skin disease EFSA Panel on Animal Health and Welfare
(Wiley Open Access, 2016-08-09)
In order to assess the effects on disease spread and persistence of partial stamping out of only
clinically affected animals in holdings where the presence of lumpy skin disease has been confirmed,
against ...
Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Nature Research, 2016-08-18)
The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits
affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ...
