Longitudinal Study of Fecal Microbiota in Calves with or without Diarrhea Episodes before Weaning
(Veterinary Sciences, 2022-08-29)The microbiota plays an important role in the development of diarrhea in pre-weaned calves. The characterization of the fecal microbiota in health and disease can be critical to unravel the bacterial ... -
Looking behind occlusions: A study on amodal segmentation for robust on-tree apple fruit size estimation
(Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2023-04-21)The detection and sizing of fruits with computer vision methods is of interest because it provides relevant information to improve the management of orchard farming. However, the presence of partially ... -
Low CD4/CD8 ratio in classical swine fever postnatalpersistent infection generated at 3 weeks after birth
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2018-11-20)Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is one of the most important pathogens affectingswine. After infection with a moderate virulence strain at 8 hours after birth, CSFV isable to induce viral persistence. ... -
Low sperm to egg ratio required for successful in vitro fertilization in a pair-spawning teleost, Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis)
(Royal Society Open Science, 2021-03-10)Cultured Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) breeders fail to spawn fertilized eggs. The implantation of large-scale in vitro fertilization protocols, to solve this problem, has been frustrated by low ... -
Low-Temperature Vacuum Evaporation of Ammonia from Pig Slurry at Laboratory and Pilot-Plant Scale
(Processes, 2023-10-03)Livestock manure has a high ammonium content that can limit its direct application on soil as a fertiliser in nitrate-vulnerable zones. Treatment technologies that are able to extract ammonium from ... -
Lupine (Lupinus spp.) proteins: characteristics, safety and food applications
(European Food Research and Technology, 2021-11-13)Lupines (Lupinus spp.) have emerged as a cheap functional food with the advantages of being non-genetically modifed crop, able to adapt to harsh conditions and low-input farming. Lupines are rich in ... -
Lysine and methionine supplementation in high soy protein content diets for silvery-black porgy (Sparidentex hasta) juveniles
(Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences, 2020-05-01)A two-month feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of partial replacement of fish meal (FM) by soybean protein (SP) alone or in combination with lysine (Lys) and methionine (Met) supplementation ... -
M448R and MGF505-7R: Two African Swine Fever Virus Antigens Commonly Recognized by ASFV-Specific T-Cells and with Protective Potential
(Vaccines, 2021-05-14)African swine fever (ASF) is today′s number one threat for the global swine industry. Neither commercial vaccine nor treatment is available against ASF and, thus far, only live attenuated viruses (LAV) ... -
Machine learning applied to transcriptomic data to identify genes associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019-03-13)Background: To date, the molecular mechanisms that underlie residual feed intake (RFI) in pigs are unknown. Results from diferent genome‑wide association studies and gene expression analyses are not ... -
