Effect of sex and RYR1 gene mutation on the muscle proteomic profile and main physiological biomarkers in pigs at slaughter
(Elsevier, 2018-03-27)
Gender and RYR1 gene mutation might have an effect on the muscle metabolic characteristics and on the animal's stress at slaughter, which could influence the process of muscle-to-meat conversion. ...
Zebrafish as a Model to Screen the Potential of Fatty Acids in Reproduction
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-01-31)
Sperm quality is an important topic in general health, chemotherapy, and gamete preservation technology. Fatty acid (FA) composition of membranes, which is influenced by the diet, plays key roles in ...
Gamete quality and management for in vitro fertilisation in meagre (Argyrosomus regius)
(Elsevier, 2019-05-14)
The aquaculture of meagre (Argyrosomus regius) requires methods for the control of reproduction that enable the production of families from specific individuals for selective breeding programs. We ...
The emergence of classical BSE from atypical/Nor98 scrapie
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019-12-16)
Atypical/Nor98 scrapie (AS) is a prion disease of small ruminants. Currently there are no efficient measures to control this form of prion disease, and, importantly, the zoonotic potential and the risk ...
Oral bioaccessibility of toxic and essential elements in raw and cooked commercial seafood species available in European markets
(Elsevier, 2017-11-16)
The oral bioaccessibility of several essential and toxic elements was investigated in raw and cooked commercially available seafood species from European markets. Bioaccessibility varied between seafood ...

(Elsevier, 2018-08-19)
The effects of flavonoids extracted from Citrus aurantium (Bioflavex® CA) on eating pattern, performance, carcass quality, and rumen wall health of Holstein bulls fed on a single feeder were studied. ...
Breeding, planktonic and settlement factors shape recruitment patterns of one of the last remaining major population of Pinna nobilis within Spanish waters
(Springer, 2019-11-27)
The pen shell, Pinna nobilis L., is a critically endangered bivalve threatened by mass mortality events throughout the Mediterranean, but the Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta) still hosts many healthy individuals. ...
Supplementary feeding stations for conservation of vultures could be an important source of monophasic Salmonella typhimurium 1,4,[5],12:i:-
(Elsevier, 2018-04-27)
Vultures are nature's most successful scavengers, feeding on the carcasses of dead animals present in the field. Availability of domestic carrion has been unstable due to rapidly changing agro-grazing ...

(Springer, 2018-04-12)
Pinna nobilis is an endangered species of fan mussel found along coastal Mediterranean waters requiring special attention for conservation. Populations are restricted in number, due to anthropogenic ...
Myxoma virus jumps species to the Iberian hare
(Wiley, 2019-07-19)
The study of myxoma virus (MYXV) infections in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has produced one of the most accepted host–pathogen evolutionary models. To date, myxomatosis has been limited ...
