Diverse Populations of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius Colonize the Skin of Healthy Dogs
(Microbiology Spectrum, 2023-02-14)Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a commensal bacterium of the canine skin but is also a key opportunistic pathogen that is responsible for most cases of pyoderma in dogs. The current paradigm indicates ... -
Prediction of fatty acid composition in intact and minced fat of European autochthonous pigs breeds by near infrared spectroscopy
(Scientific Reports, 2023-05-15)The fatty acids profile has been playing a decisive role in recent years, thanks to technological, sensory and health demands from producers and consumers. The application of NIRS technique on fat ... -
Impact of multi-output and stacking methods on feed efficiency prediction from genotype using machine learning algorithms
(Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2023-07-05)Feeding represents the largest economic cost in meat production; therefore, selection to improve traits related to feed efficiency is a goal in most livestock breeding programs. Residual feed intake ... -
Efficacy of multivalent recombinant herpesvirus of turkey vaccines against high pathogenicity avian influenza, infectious bursal disease, and Newcastle disease viruses
(Vaccine, 2023-04-01)Vaccines are an essential tool for the control of viral infections in domestic animals. We generated recombinant vector herpesvirus of turkeys (vHVT) vaccines expressing computationally optimized broadly ... -
Divergent responses of tomato cultivars with resistance to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus to infection by Meloidogyne javanica
(Horticulturae, 2023-07-07)Commercial tomatoes are usually complex F1 hybrids with multiple resistances genes 9 from different wild Solanum species. The response of tomato cultivars with resistance to root-knot 10 nematodes (RKN) ... -
Sustainable food packaging: An updated definition following a holistic approach
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023-04-21)Food packaging solutions need to be redesigned to be more sustainable, but determining which solution is ‘more optimal’ is a very difficult task when considering the entire food product value chain. ... -
Gut barrier-microbiota imbalances in early life lead to higher sensitivity to inflammation in a murine model of C-section delivery
(Microbiome, 2023-07-03)Background Most interactions between the host and its microbiota occur at the gut barrier, and primary colonizers are essential in the gut barrier maturation in the early life. The mother–ofspring ... -
Relationship between Zoometric Measurements in HolsteinFriesian Cow and Cubicle Size in Dairy Farms
(International Journal of Morphology, 2013-03-01)Body measurements in Portuguese Holstein-Friesian breed and its association with the dimensions of the cubicles were investigated. During a period of 5 months, body measurements and cubicles size data ... -
Morphology of the larval stages of a Mediterranean population of the allochthonous Say’s mud crab, Dyspanopeus sayi (Decapoda: Brachyura: Panopeidae)
(Scientia Marina, 2013-04-15)In this study the complete larval development (including four zoeal stages and a megalopa stage) of Dyspanopeus sayi is described and illustrated in detail based on larvae reared in the laboratory. ... -
Selection of Internal Control Genes for Real-Time Quantitative PCR in Ovary and Uterus of Sows across Pregnancy
(PLoS ONE, 2013-06-13)Background: Reproductive traits play a key role in pig production in order to reduce costs and increase economic returns. Among others, gene expression analyses represent a useful approach to study ... -
Breeding programmes to improve male reproductive performance and efficiency of insemination dose production in paternal lines: feasibility and limitations
(World Rabbit Science, 2013-06-26)This paper reviews the current genetic knowledge on issues related with the efficient use of bucks in artificial insemination (AI). Differences between lines have been found to be relevant in semen ... -
Oribatid mites in different Mediterranean crop rotations fertilized with animal droppings
(Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2023-06-20)Unsustainable soil management is one of the drivers of soil degradation, but impact assessment requires the development of indicators. Oribatids might be considered as early indicators of disturbances ... -
Hippocampal neurogenesis and Arc expression are enhanced in high-fat fed prepubertal female pigs by a diet including omega-3 fatty acids and Bifidobacterium breve CECT8242
(European Journal of Nutrition, 2023-05-06)Obesity during childhood has become a pandemic disease, mainly caused by a diet rich in sugars and fatty acids. Among other negative effects, these diets can induce cognitive impairment and reduce ... -
Valorisation of pork by-products to obtain antioxidant and antihypertensive peptides
