Similar Bacterial Communities among Different Populations of a Newly Emerging Invasive Species, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)
(Insects, 2022-03-03)Microorganisms in the guts of insects enhance the adaptability of their hosts with different lifestyles, or those that live in different habitats. Tuta absoluta is an invasive pest that is a serious ... -
Similar frequency of Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) detection in serum samples of pigs affected by digestive or respiratory disorders and age‐matched clinically healthy pigs
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2019-09-04)Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) has been identified in pigs affected by different disease conditions, although its pathogenicity remains unclear. The objective of the present study was to assess the frequency ... -
Simulation of feed restriction and fasting: Effects on animal recovery and gastrointestinal permeability in unweaned Angus-Holstein calves
(Journal of Dairy Science, 2022-01-25)Feed restriction and fasting experienced during commercial production negatively affect unweaned calves' behavior and health status. Transportation and stays at assembly centers are the main factors ... -
Simultaneous fruit detection and size estimation using multitask deep neural networks
(Biosystems Engineering, 2023-08-06)The measurement of fruit size is of great interest to estimate the yield and predict the harvest resources in advance. This work proposes a novel technique for in-field apple detection and measurement ... -
Single cell protein from methanotrophic bacteria as an alternative healthy and functional protein source in aquafeeds, a holistic approach in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles
(Aquaculture, 2023-07-05)Bacterial single cell protein (BSCP) obtained from methanotrophic bacteria was tested as an alternative protein source to fishmeal (FM) in compound diets for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles ... -
Single-step genome-wide association study for social genetic effects and direct genetic effects on growth in Landrace pigs
(Scientific Reports, 2020-09-11)In livestock social interactions, social genetic effects (SGE) represent associations between phenotype of one individual and genotype of another. Such associations occur when the trait of interest is ... -
Sirolimus enhances the protection achieved by a DNA vaccine against Leishmania infantum
(Parasites and Vectors, 2020-06-09)Background Leishmaniases are a group of neglected tropical parasitic diseases, mainly affecting vulnerable populations of countries with poor socioeconomic status. Development of efficient vaccines is ... -
Skeletal muscle metabolomics and blood biochemistry analysis reveal metabolic changes associated with dietary amino acid supplementation in dairy calves
(Scientific Reports, 2018-09-14)The efects of diferent amino acid (AA) supplementations of milk protein-based milk replacers in pre-ruminant calves from 3 days to 7 weeks of age were studied. Animals were divided into 4 groups: Ctrl) ... -
Skeletogenesis in the Persian sturgeon Acipenser persicus and its correlation with gene expression of vitamin K‐dependent proteins during larval development
(Journal of Fish Biology, 2018-01-18)The present study describes morphological development of the skeleton in the Persian sturgeon Acipenser persicus and discusses the hypothesis that expression of genes encoding vitamin K‐dependent proteins ... -
Skin mucus metabolites in response to physiological challenges: A valuable non-invasive method to study teleost marine species
(Science of the Total Environment, 2018-07-13)Knowledge concerning the health and welfare of fish is important to conserve species diversity. Fish mucosal surfaces, and particularly the skin, are of utmost importance to protect the integrity and ... -
Skin Multi-Omics-Based Interactome Analysis: Integrating the Tissue and Mucus Exuded Layer for a Comprehensive Understanding of the Teleost Mucosa Functionality as Model of Study
(Frontiers in Immunology, 2021-02-04)From a general structural perspective, a mucosal tissue is constituted by two main matrices: the tissue and the secreted mucus. Jointly, they fulfill a wide range of functions including the protection ... -
Slaughter of animals: poultry
(EFSA Journal, 2019-11-13)The killing of poultry for human consumption (slaughtering) can take place in a slaughterhouse or during on‐farm slaughter. The processes of slaughtering that were assessed, from the arrival of birds ... -
