Lactating performance, water and feed consumption of rabbit does reared under a Mediterranean summer circadian cycle of temperature v. comfort temperature conditions
(Elsevier, 2015-01-16)
The general aim of this research was to study the effect of high ambient temperature on the performance of does during lactation, specifically the following factors: average daily feed (ADFI) and water ...
Relationship between Zoometric Measurements in HolsteinFriesian Cow and Cubicle Size in Dairy Farms
(Temuco: Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía, 2013-03-01)
Body measurements in Portuguese Holstein-Friesian breed and its association with the dimensions of the cubicles
were investigated. During a period of 5 months, body measurements and cubicles size data ...
Effect of animal mixing as a stressor on biomarkers of autophagy and oxidative stress during pig muscle maturation
(Elsevier, 2015-04-08)
The objective of this work was to study the postmortem evolution of potential biomarkers of autophagy (Beclin 1, LC3-II/LC3-I ratio) and oxidative stress (total antioxidant activity, TAA; superoxide ...
Correlated genetic trends for production and welfare traits in a mouse population divergently selected for birth weight environmental variability
(Elsevier, 2016-05-12)
The objective of this work was to study the changes that, selecting for environmental variability of birth weight (BW), could bring to other interesting traits in livestock such as: survivability at ...
Treatment of swine manure: case studies in European’s N-surplus areas
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2016-09)
In this study, eight different manure treatment plants were monitored. The plants were four on-farm and four centralized treatment plants, all of them at full-scale level. Assessment includes a total ...
Analysis of porcine IGF2 gene expression in adipose tissue and its effect on fatty acid composition
(Public Library of Science, 2019-08-08)
IGF2:g.3072G>A polymorphism has been described as the causal mutation of a maternally imprinted QTL for muscle growth and fat deposition in pigs. The objective of the current work was to study the ...
Genome-Wide Association Study Singles Out SCD and LEPR as the Two Main Loci Influencing Intramuscular Fat Content and Fatty Acid Composition in Duroc Pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2016-03-29)
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and fatty acid composition affect the organoleptic quality and nutritional value of pork. A genome-wide association study was performed on 138 Duroc pigs genotyped with ...
Use of combinations of re-esterified oils, differing in their degree of saturation, in broiler chicken diets
(Elsevier, 2015-07-01)
Re-esterified oils contain higher proportions of mono- and diacylglycerols, and also higher proportions of saturated fatty acids (SFA) at the sn-2 position of acylglycerol molecules than does a native ...
Use of re-esterified oils, differing in their degree of saturation and molecular structure, in broiler chicken diets
(Elsevier, 2015-07-01)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential use of re-esterified oils, differing in their degree of saturation and molecular structure, in comparison with their corresponding acid and ...
Use of re-esterified palm oils, differing in their acylglycerol structure, in fattening pig diets
(Elsevier, 2015-07-02)
Re-esterified oils are new fat sources obtained from the chemical esterification of acid oils with glycerol (both economically interesting by-products from oil refining and biodiesel industries, ...
