Interaction of direct and social genetic effects with feeding regime in growing rabbits
(BMC, 2017-07-20)
Background: Most rabbit production farms apply feed restriction at fattening because of its protective efect against digestive diseases that afect growing rabbits. However, it leads to competitive ...
Trends in recombinant protein use in animal production
(BMC, 2017-03-04)
Recombinant technologies have made possible the production of a broad catalogue of proteins of interest, including those used for animal production. The most widely studied proteins for the animal sector ...
Using genome wide association studies to identify common QTL regions in three different genetic backgrounds based on Iberian pig breed
(PLoS ONE, 2018-03-09)
One of the major limitation for the application of QTL results in pig breeding and QTN identification has been the limited number of QTL effects validated in different animal material. The aim
of the ...
A new approach to obtain pure and active proteins from Lactococcus lactis protein aggregates
(Nature Research, 2018-09-17)
The production of pure and soluble proteins is a complex, protein-dependent and time-consuming
process, in particular for those prone-to-aggregate and/or difcult-to-purify. Although Escherichia coli ...
Should animal welfare regulations be more restrictive? A case study in eight European Union Countries
(MDPI, 2019-04-25)
Increasingly, intensive livestock production systems have increased societal concern
regarding the current animal welfare standards. We investigated whether individuals in their roles
as consumers and ...
Whole rumen metagenome sequencing allows classifying and predicting feed efficiency and intake levels in cattle
(Nature Research, 2019-01-09)
The current research was carried out to determine the associations between the rumen microbiota and traits related with feed efficiency in a Holstein cattle population (n = 30) using whole metagenome ...
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 ...
Skeletal muscle metabolomics and blood biochemistry analysis reveal metabolic changes associated with dietary amino acid supplementation in dairy calves
(Springer Nature, 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) ...
Genetic diversity and selection signatures of the beef ‘Charolais de Cuba’ breed
(Nature Research, 2018-07-20)
In this study, we used BovineSNP50 Genotyping BeadChip data to estimate the structure, putative
ancestral origin as well as to identify regions with selective sweeps that may have had an important
role ...
Rabbit Microbiota Changes Throughout the Intestinal Tract
(Frontiers Media, 2018-09-13)
To gain insight into the importance of carefully selecting the sampling area for intestinal
microbiota studies, cecal and fecal microbial communities of Caldes meat rabbit were
characterized. The ...
