Trans-Generational Effect of Maternal Lactation during Pregnancy: A Holstein Cow Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-20)
Epigenetic regulation in mammals begins in the first stages of embryogenesis. This prenatal programming determines, in
part, phenotype expression in adult life. Some species, particularly dairy cattle, ...
Segregation of Regulatory Polymorphisms with Effects on the Gluteus Medius Transcriptome in a Purebred Pig Population
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-24)
Background: The main goal of the present study was to analyse the genetic architecture of mRNA expression in muscle, a
tissue with an outmost economic importance for pig breeders. Previous studies have ...
To what extent is climate change adaptation a novel challenge for agricultural modellers?
(Elsevier, 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 ...
Breeding programmes to improve male reproductive performance and efficiency of insemination dose production in paternal lines: feasibility and limitations
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2013-06-26)
This paper reviews the current genetic knowledge on issues related with the efficient use of bucks
in artificial insemination (AI). Differences between lines have been found to be relevant in semen ...
Use of re-esterified palm oils, differing in their acylglycerol structure, in weaning-piglet diets
(Elsevier, 2015-04-27)
Re-esterified oils are new fat sources obtained from chemical esterification of acid oils with glycerol (both economically interesting by-products from oil refining and biodiesel industries, respectively). ...
How far are we from providing pigs appropriate environmental enrichment?
(MDPI, 2019-09-24)
Genome data from a sixteenth century pig illuminate modern breed relationships
(Springer Nature, 2014-09-10)
Ancient DNA (aDNA) provides direct evidence of historical events that have modeled the genome of modern individuals. In livestock, resolving the differences between the effects of initial domestication ...
Time to Loss of Consciousness and Its Relation to Behavior in Slaughter Pigs during Stunning with 80 or 95% Carbon Dioxide
(Frontiers Media, 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 ...
Genetic comparison of milk production and composition in three maternal rabbit lines
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2014-12-18)
The aim of this study was to compare 3 Spanish maternal rabbit lines (A, V and LP) in terms of milk production and composition. These lines were founded on different criteria but selected for litter ...
Addition of arginine and leucine to low or normal protein diets: performance, carcass characteristics and intramuscular fat of finishing pigs
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2017-01-20)
The effect of dietary crude protein (CP) reduction, supplementation with arginine or leucine on intramuscular fat (IMF) content was evaluated in (Landrace × Duroc) × Pietrain pigs. One-hundred and eight ...
