Guidance on the assessment criteria for applications for new or modified stunning methods regarding animal protection at the time of killing
(Wiley, 2018-07-19)
This guidance defines the process for handling applications on new or modified stunning methods and the parameters that will be assessed by the EFSA Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW) Panel. The applications, ...
Expression analysis of candidate genes for fatty acid composition in adipose tissue and identifcation of regulatory regions
(Nature Research, 2018-02-01)
The aim of this work was to study the genetic basis of the backfat expression of lipid-related genes
associated with meat quality traits in pigs. We performed a genome-wide association study with ...
LC-MS/MS Detection of Karlotoxins Reveals New Variants in Strains of the Marine Dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum from the Ebro Delta (NW Mediterranean)
(MDPI, 2017-12-18)
A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the detection and quantitation of karlotoxins in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. This novel method was ...
Comparative analysis of the fecal microbiota from different species of domesticated and wild suids
(Nature Research, 2019-09-20)
Most of the microorganisms living in a symbiotic relationship in different animal body sites (microbiota) reside in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Several studies have shown that the microbiota is ...
Gain-of-function mutations in Aqp3a influence zebrafish pigment pattern formation through the tissue environment
(The Company of Biologists, 2017-06-01)
The development of the pigmentation pattern in zebrafish is a tightly regulated process that depends on both the self-organizing properties of pigment cells and extrinsic cues from other tissues. Many ...
Accuracy of qPCR and bacterial culture for the diagnosis of bovine intramammary infections and teat skin colonisation with Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus using Bayesian analysis
(Elsevier, 2018-10-26)
Streptococcus agalactiae (Strep. agalactiae) and Staphylococcus aureus (Staph. aureus) are originally regarded as contagious mastitis pathogens, however, both pathogens have recently been isolated from ...
Genetic parameters and direct, maternal and heterosis effects on litter size in a diallel cross among three commercial varieties of Iberian pig
(Elsevier, 2019-06-04)
The Iberian pig is one of the pig breeds that has the highest meat quality. Traditionally, producers have bred one of the available varieties, exclusively, and have not used crosses between them, which ...
Effect of environmental enrichment and herbal compounds-supplemented diet on pig carcass, meat quality traits, and consumers’ acceptability and preference
(MPDI, 2018-07-16)
Animal welfare can be considered an ethical attribute of product quality, but consumers
should appreciate its added value. The aim of this study was to evaluate consumer’s acceptability,
preference, ...
Slaughter of animals: poultry
(Wiley, 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 ...
A Rapid Transcriptome Response Is Associated with Desiccation Resistance in Aerially-Exposed Killifish Embryos
(Public Library of Science, 2013-05-31)
Delayed hatching is a form of dormancy evolved in some amphibian and fish embryos to cope with environmental conditions transiently hostile to the survival of hatchlings or larvae. While diapause and ...
