(Aquaculture, 2019-12-11)In captive grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) juveniles, the weaning stage overlaps the period where there are changes in the ontogeny of digestive enzymes as the fry transit from carnivory to omnivory. The ... -
The effects of colostrum consumption and feed restriction during marketing and transportation of male dairy beef calves: Impact on pre-transport nutritional status and on farm recovery
(Journal of Dairy Science, 2023-08-23)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of colostrum consumption and feed restriction on biomarkers of stress, nutritional and health status, gut functionality, and behavior in male dairy beef ... -
The effects of environmental enrichment on the physiology, behaviour, productivity and meat quality of pigs raised in a hot climate
(Animals, 2019-05-13)European Union (EU) legislation states that the routine tail docking of pigs should not be carried out and that manipulable materials should be made available to all pigs to prevent tail biting and allow ... -
The Effects of the Cultivar and Environment on the Phenolic Contents of Hazelnut Kernels
(Plants, 2022-11-11)Different climatic conditions are known to affect the synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites. Therefore, the phenolic contents in new growing areas could affect the quality and flavor of hazelnuts. ... -
The Effects of Weaning Methods on Gut Microbiota Composition and Horse Physiology
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2017-07-25)Weaning has been described as one of the most stressful events in the life of horses. Given the importance of the interaction between the gut-brain axis and gut microbiota under stress, we evaluated (i) ... -
The efficacy and safety of high-pressure processing of food
(EFSA Journal, 2022-03-08)High-pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal treatment in which, for microbial inactivation, foods are subjected to isostatic pressures (P) of 400–600 MPa with common holding times (t) from 1.5 to ... -
The Efficacy of Four Sunburn Mitigation Strategies and Their Effects on Yield, Fruit Quality, and Economic Performance of Honeycrisp Cv. Apples under Eastern New York (USA) Climatic Conditions
(International Journal of Fruit Science, 2019-04-22)Sunburn is a serious economic problem in practically all apple-growing regions of the world. Losses of apple fruit due to sunburn can range from 10% as high as 50%. Several years ago, this problem started ... -
The emergence and diversification of a zoonotic pathogen from within the microbiota of intensively farmed pigs
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023-11-14)The expansion and intensification of livestock production is predicted to promote the emergence of pathogens. As pathogens sometimes jump between species, this can affect the health of humans as well ... -
The emergence of classical BSE from atypical/Nor98 scrapie
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019-12-16)Atypical/Nor98 scrapie (AS) is a prion disease of small ruminants. Currently there are no efficient measures to control this form of prion disease, and, importantly, the zoonotic potential and the risk ... -
The endoparasite Perkinsus olseni affecting the Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) in the Italian and Spanish waters: A new possible threat for mussel aquaculture and wild animal population
(Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023-02-24)Dinoflagellates belonging to the Perkinsus genus are OIE (World Organization for animal Health)-listed pathogens extremely virulent for clams and oysters in many marine ecosystems throughout the world. ... -
The equipment used in the SF6 technique to estimate methane emissions has no major effect on dairy cow behavior
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021-01-29)The natural behavior of animals can be disrupted by the techniques and materials of research methodologies. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the equipment used in the SF6 tracer technique to ... -
The ethylene-responsive transcription factor ERF024 is a novel regulator of climacteric fruit ripening in melon
(The Plant Journal, 2024-06-20)Fruit ripening is an essential developmental stage in Angiosperms triggered by hormonal signals such as ethylene, a major player in climacteric ripening. Melon is a unique crop showing both climacteric ... -
The Evolutionary Consequences of Transposon-Related Pericentromer Expansion in Melon
(Genome Biology and Evolution, 2018-06-23)Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) are a major driver of plant genome evolution. A part from being a rich source of new genes and regulatory sequences, TEs can also affect plant genome evolution ... -
