Estimation of carcass composition and cut composition from computed tomography images of live growing pigs of different genotypes
(Elsevier, 2014-09-12)
The aim of the present work was (1) to study the relationship between cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) images obtained in live growing pigs of different genotypes and dissection measurements and ...
Composition and properties of the polyphenolic extracts obtained from industrial plum pomaces
(Elsevier, 2014-12-10)
The polyphenol composition of purified extracts obtained from plum pomace gathered from production lines of a modern fruit transformation plant was characterized. The extraction of polyphenols from ...
Genome data from a sixteenth century pig illuminate modern breed relationships
(Springer Nature, 2014-09-10)
Ancient DNA (aDNA) provides direct evidence of historical events that have modeled the genome of modern individuals. In livestock, resolving the differences between the effects of initial domestication ...
Genomics of Ecological Adaptation in Cactophilic Drosophila
(Oxford University Press, 2014-12-31)
Cactophilic Drosophila species provide a valuable model to study gene–environment interactions and ecological adaptation. Drosophila buzzatii and Drosophila mojavensis are two cactophilic species that ...
Gender-related differences in the formation of skatole metabolites by specific CYP450 in porcine hepatic S9 fractions
(Elsevier, 2014-12-03)
Higher accumulation of skatole in the fat of male pigs compared with female pigs might be due to gender-related differences in the rate of skatole degradation. In the present study, skatole metabolites ...
Evaluation of the sustainability of contrasted pig farming systems: integrated evaluation
(Elsevier, 2014-08-28)
The aim of this paper is to present an approach for an integrated evaluation of the sustainability of pig farming systems, taking into account the three classical pillars: economy, environment and ...
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 ...
Changes in bread-making quality attributes of bread wheat varieties cultivated in Spain during the 20th century
(Elsevier, 2014-12-08)
Genetic gains in quality traits were assessed in grain samples from 4 field experiments involving 16 bread wheat varieties representative of those most widely cultivated in Spain during the 20th century. ...
Alternative Methods for the Detection of Emerging Marine Toxins: Biosensors, Biochemical Assays and Cell-Based Assays
(MDPI, 2014-11-26)
The emergence of marine toxins in water and seafood may have a considerable impact on public health. Although the tendency in Europe is to consolidate, when possible, official reference methods based ...
Living on the Edge: Demography of the Slender-Billed Gull in the Western Mediterranean
(Public Library of Science, 2014-03-24)
Small and peripheral populations are typically vulnerable to local extinction processes but important for the metapopulation dynamics of species. The Slender-billed gull (Chroicocephalus genei) is a ...
