Structural characteristics of organic dairy farms in four European countries and their association with the implementation of animal health plans
(Elsevier, 2019-03-16)
The aim of the present study was to classify the diversity of organic dairy farms in four European countries
according to their structural characteristics and investigate the association of these farm ...
Detection of homozygous genotypes for a putatively lethal recessive mutation in the porcine argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) gene
(Wiley, 2019-11-15)
The sequencing of the pig genome revealed the existence of homozygous individuals for a nonsense mutation in the argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) gene (rs81212146, c.944T>A, L315X). Paradoxically, ...
Farm-specific failure costs of production disorders in European organic dairy herds
(Elsevier, 2019-04-04)
On-farm decision support in animal health management requires a tailor-made failure costs (FCs) assessment of
production disorders for the individual farm. In our study we defined a generic framework ...
Inbreeding depression load for litter size in Entrepelado and Retinto Iberian pig varieties
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03-14)
Individual-specific hidden inbreeding depression load (IDL) can be accounted for in livestock populations by appropriate best linear unbiased prediction approaches. This genetic effect has a recessive ...
Exploring the use of tertiary reclaimed water in dairy cattle production
(Elsevier, 2019-04-30)
The objective of this study was to explore through both in vitro and in vivo experiments the use of reclaimed urban wastewater in dairy cattle production systems with the aim of improving water efficiency ...
Genetic parameters of sow feed efficiency during lactation and its underlying traits in a Duroc population
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-11-25)
As a result of the genetic selection for prolificacy and the improvements in the environment and farms management, litter size has increased in the last few years so that energy requirements of the ...
Use of group records of feed intake to select for feed efficiency in rabbit
(Wiley, 2019-04-24)
Models for genetic evaluation of feed efficiency (FE) for animals housed in groups when they are either fed ad libitum (F) or on restricted (R) feeding were implemented. Definitions of FE on F included ...
Grape seed Proanthocyanidins target the Enteroendocrine system in cafeteria‐diet‐fed rats
(Wiley, 2019-04-12)
Scope The effects on the enteroendocrine system of three different grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) treatments are analyzed in rats on a cafeteria diet for 17 weeks. Methods and results GSPE ...
Citrus aurantium flavonoid extract improves concentrate efficiency, animal behavior, and reduces rumen inflammation of Holstein bulls fed high-concentrate diets
(Elsevier, 2019-10-10)
One hundred fourty-four bulls (164.8 ± 5.91 kg BW and 135 ± 7.2 d of age) were randomly allocated to one of 8 pens and assigned to control (C) or citrus flavonoid (BF) treatments (Citrus aurantium, ...
