Multi-Stakeholder Networks as Governance Structures and ICT Tools to Boost Blue Biotechnology in Spain
(Sustainability, 2024-12-28)Blue Biotechnology (BBt) is a young and promising sector in the Mediterranean region with the potential to drive innovation and strengthen the Blue Economy (BE). However, its progress is constrained by ... -
The hidden cost of illicit trade: Evaluating the physiological health of smuggled European glass eels (Anguilla anguilla)
(Science of The Total Environment, 2025-01-06)European eel is considered a “critically endangered” species due to its population decline (c.a. 98 %) in all European waters, primarily because human activities. The eel life cycle is very complex as ... -
The Land Surface Interactions with the Atmosphere over the Iberian Semi-Arid Environment (LIAISE) field campaign
(Journal of the European Meteorological Society, 2025-01-18)One of the greatest challenges facing environmental science is to better understand the impacts of predicted future changes in the terrestrial hydrological cycle. It has been recognized that human ... -
Feed preference in pigs: Effect of selected protein, fat, and fiber sources at different inclusion rates
(Journal of Animal Science, 2011-10-01)Three double-choice feeding experiments were conducted to study the effect of different feedstuffs on feed preference in pigs. Fifteen protein sources, 6 fat sources, and 3 fiber sources were evaluated ... -
Feed preference in pigs: Relationship between cereal preference and nutrient composition and digestibility
(Journal of Animal Science, 2014-01-01)The present work aimed to identify the nutritional characteristics that best explain cereal feed preference in pigs. A total of 25 cereals of known preference (at 60% of inclusion in complete feed) from ... -
Use of double-choice feeding to quantify feed ingredient preferences in pigs
(Livestock Science, 2008-12-09)Four experiments were conducted to evaluate the palatability of sorghum, maize, rye and lupine for pigs. Diets containing sorghum, maize, rye or lupine (test diets) were offered in a series of double ... -
Pig preference for cereal based diets, relationship with their digestibility and physical properties
(Livestock Science, 2007-02-06)One of the most important challenges in pig farming is to overcome the initial anorexia of the pig at weaning. Since the use of palatable ingredients should facilitate the initiation of feeding at ... -
Feed preference in pigs: Relationship with feed particle size and texture
(Journal of Animal Science, 2009-02-01)In previous studies, we observed important differences in the feed preferences of pigs resulting from changes in only 1 dietary ingredient. The present experiment was conducted to study the relationship ... -
Relationships between glycaemic index and digesta passage of cereal-based diets in pigs
(Livestock Science, 2010-07-23)Changes in the rate of passage of digesta may affect feed digestibility and glycaemia, but at the same time glycaemia may also regulate stomach emptying and as a consequence digesta passage rate. The ... -
Feed preference in pigs: Effect of cereal sources at different inclusion rates
(Journal of Animal Science, 2009-02-01)The palatability of different cereals was studied in 2 two-way choice (preference) experiments using pigs of 56 d of age and 17 kg of BW. In Exp. 1, the effect of 24 cereals vs. a common reference diet ... -
Role of dietary fibre source and meal size on the ileal transit of digesta in growing pigs
(Livestock Science, 2010-07-10)Dietary fibre and meal size may regulate motility and digestive transit time through the gastrointestinal tract. We studied the effect of diets containing either white rice or oats (as low and high fibre ... -
Assessment of upscaling methodologies for daily crop transpiration using sap flows and two-source energy balance models in almonds under different water statuses and production systems
(Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2024-10-30)Daily transpiration (Td) is crucial for both irrigation water management and increasing crop water productivity. The use of the remote-sensing-based two-source energy balance model (TSEB) has proven to ... -
Thrips (Thysanoptera: Terebrantia) in Nectarine Orchards in North-East Spain: Species Diversity and Fruit Damage
(Insects, 2024-09-14)Thrips constitute one of the main nectarine pests, with damage either in flowering or before harvesting (silvering). Nectarine orchards under organic and integrated management were sampled in Lleida ... -
Evaluating the Two-Source Energy Balance Model Using MODIS Data for Estimating Evapotranspiration Time Series on a Regional Scale
(Remote Sensing, 2024-12-06)Estimating daily continuous evapotranspiration (ET) can significantly enhance the monitoring of crop stress and drought on regional scales, as well as benefit the design of agricultural drought early ... -

(Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2024-12-09)BACKGROUND: With growing concerns over the adverse effects of animal-derived products on health, animal welfare and the environment, the rising popularity of plant-based foods underscores the importance ... -
Phenological Adaptation of Wheat Varieties to Rising Temperatures: Implications for Yield Components and Grain Quality
(Plants, 2024-10-18)This study examined the effects of late sowing, water restrictions, and interannual weather variations on wheat grain yield and quality through field trials in Spain over two growing seasons. Delayed ... -
Production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from agricultural and food processing wastes
(Applied Food Research, 2024-12-16)Upcicling biowastes and residues from the agroindustry through the production of microorganisms used in the food industry could give rise to innovative circular practices. In this work, different ... -
