Co-occurring microbial guilds in pig fecal microbiota: key drivers and effects on host performance
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2025-06-04)Background The pig gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem composed of microbial guilds that remain largely unexplored. Here we decomposed the pig fecal microbiota of two cohorts of 648 healthy Duroc ... -
Short-term effect of weather variables on West Nile virus infection in Equids in Spain: A space-time stratified case-crossover design
(Acta Tropica, 2025-03-25)West Nile virus (WNV) is an arthropod-borne virus primarily transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, among birds, but occasionally infecting humans and equids. Understanding environmental factors on the disease ... -
Interactive effects of high n-3 PUFA intake and cyclic heat stress under two dietary antioxidant levels in broiler chickens
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2025-04-24)The study examined the combined effects of a diet high in n-3 PUFAs and cyclic heat stress (HS) considering two levels of dietary antioxidants. A total of 192 one-day-old male Ross 308 broilers were ... -
