The value of gut microbiota to predict feed efficiency and growth of rabbits under different feeding regimes
(Scientific reports, 2021-09-30)Gut microbiota plays an important role in nutrient absorption and could impact rabbit feed efciency. This study aims at investigating such impact by evaluating the value added by microbial information for ... -
The vertebrate Aqp14 water channel is a neuropeptide-regulated polytransporter
(Communications Biology, 2019-12-11)Water channels (aquaporins) were originally discovered in mammals with fourteen subfamilies now identified (AQP0-13). Here we show that a functional Aqp14 subfamily phylogenetically related to AQP4-type ... -
The welfare of growing pigs in five different production systems: assessment of feeding and housing
(Animal, 2011-10-10)Ninety-one farms were visited over a 2-year period to assess the welfare of growing pigs in five different production systems found either in France or in Spain using the Welfare Quality R protocol. ... -
The zebrafish genome encodes the largest vertebrate repertoire of functional aquaporins with dual paralogy and substrate specificities similar to mammals
(BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010-02-11)Background: Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across cell membranes. These proteins are vital for maintaining water homeostasis in living ... -
Thinning flat peaches with ethephon and its effect on endogenous ethylene production and fruit quality
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2020-12-06)Peach orchards are usually hand-thinned at around 40–60 days after bloom, but this practice is labor-intensive and costly. Ethylene plays a key role in peach fruitlet abscission and foliar applications ... -
Thorough Characterization of ETHQB3.5, a QTL Involved in Melon Fruit Climacteric Behavior and Aroma Volatile Composition
(Foods, 2023-01-13)The effect of the QTL involved in climacteric ripening ETHQB3.5 on the fruit VOC composition was studied using a set of Near-Isogenic Lines (NILs) containing overlapping introgressions from the Korean ... -
Time to Loss of Consciousness and Its Relation to Behavior in Slaughter Pigs during Stunning with 80 or 95% Carbon Dioxide
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2016-05-19)Exposure to CO2 at high concentration is a much debated stunning method in pigs. Pigs respond aversively to high concentrations of CO2, and there is uncertainty about what behaviors occur before and ... -
To Provide a Double Feeder in Growing Pigs Housed under High Environmental Temperatures Reduces Social Interactions but Does Not Improve Weight Gains
(Animals, 2020-11-30)Heat stress and competition for food are two major challenges in pigs reared in intensive conditions. The aim of the present work was to study the e ect of providing a double feeder for pigs reared ... -
To what extent is climate change adaptation a novel challenge for agricultural modellers?
(Environmental Modelling & Software, 2019-07-29)Modelling is key to adapting agriculture to climate change (CC), facilitating evaluation of the impacts and efficacy of adaptation measures, and the design of optimal strategies. Although there are many ... -
Tolerancia a la sequía de Paspalum notatum sometido a defoliación
(Ecosistemas, 2021-09-21)La sequía asociada al cambio climático y a la variabilidad climática es el principal factor que afecta la productividad y diversidad de los ecosistemas terrestres. El objetivo de este estudio evaluar ... -
Toward developing recombinant gonadotropin-based hormone therapies for increasing fertility in the flatfish Senegalese sole
(PLoS ONE, 2017-03-22)Captive flatfishes, such as the Senegalese sole, typically produce very low volumes of sperm. This situation is particularly prevalent in the first generation (F1) of reared sole males, which limits the ... -
Towards a standardization of biomethane potential tests
(Water Science and Technology, 2016-09-19)Production of biogas from different organic materials is a most interesting source of renewable energy. The biomethane potential (BMP) of these materials has to be determined to get insight in ... -
Towards the Combination of C2RCC Processors for Improving Water Quality Retrieval in Inland and Coastal Areas
(Remote Sensing, 2022-02-24)Sentinel-2 offers great potential for monitoring water quality in inland and coastal waters. However, atmospheric correction in these waters is challenging, and there is no standardized approach yet, ... -
Towards the standardization of brush border purification and intestinal alkaline phosphatase quantification in fish with notes on other digestive enzymes
(Aquaculture, 2018-01-06)Assessing the activity of digestive enzymes is a common procedure in many biological, physiological and nutritional studies. After reviewing the available literature on fish digestive tract maturation ... -
Toxic marine microalgae and noxious blooms in the Mediterranean Sea: A contribution to the Global HAB Status Report
