Rift Valley Fever – epidemiological update and risk of introduction into Europe
(Wiley, 2020-03-06)
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a vector-borne disease transmitted by a broad spectrum of mosquito species, especially Aedes and Culex genus, to animals (domestic and wild ruminants and camels) and humans. ...
Consumers’ Expectations about Meat from Surgical Castrated or Immunocastrated Male and Female Iberian Pigs
(MDPI, 2022-02-14)
A common practice in Iberian pigs is the castration of both males and females, and it can be
carried out surgically or by immunization against gonadotropin-releasing factor (GnRF). The aim of
this ...
A toxicokinetic study reflecting the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of deoxynivalenol in broiler chickens
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021-06-26)
To identify the specific biomarkers of exposure of DON in chickens, a toxicokinetic study was performed via oral or intravenous application of deoxynivalenol (DON). Doses of 0.75 and 2.25 mg DON/kg of ...
Species which may act as vectors or reservoirs of diseases covered by the Animal Health Law: Listed pathogens of crustaceans
(Wiley Open Access, 2023-08-01)
Vector or reservoir species of three diseases of crustaceans listed in the Animal Health Law were identified based on evidence generated through an extensive literature review, to support a possible ...
Effect of transport and rest stop duration on the welfare of conditioned cattle transported by road
(Public Library of Science, 2020-03-02)
The effects of providing rest on physiological and behavioural indicators of welfare of cattle being transported by road has not been well studied in North America. New revisions to Canada’s Health of ...
Identification of strong candidate genes for backfat and intramuscular fatty acid composition in three crosses based on the Iberian pig
(Nature Research, 2020-08-18)
Meat quality has an important genetic component and can be modified by the fatty acid (FA) composition and the amount of fat contained in adipose tissue and muscle. The present study aimed to find genomic ...
Genome-wide association study for feed efficiency in collective cage-raised rabbits under full and restricted feeding
(Wiley, 2020-07-22)
Feed efficiency (FE) is one of the most economically and environmentally relevant traits in the animal production sector. The objective of this study was to gain knowledge about the genetic control of ...
Assessment of animal diseases caused by bacteria resistant to antimicrobials: sheep and goats
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-12-07)
In this opinion, the antimicrobial-resistant bacteria responsible for transmissible diseases that constitute a threat to the health of sheep and goats have been assessed. The assessment has been performed ...
Supplementation of xylo-oligosaccharides to suckling piglets promotes the growth of fiber-degrading gut bacterial populations during the lactation and nursery periods
(Nature Research, 2022-07-08)
Modulating early-life microbial colonization through xylo-oligosacharides (XOS) supplementation represents an opportunity to accelerate the establishment of fiber-degrading microbial populations and ...
Neurobiology of environmental enrichment in pigs: hanges in monoaminergic neurotransmitters in several brain areas and in the hippocampal proteome
(Elsevier, 2020-08-16)
Environmental enrichment in porcine farms improves animal welfare and leads to better public acceptance. To better understand the neurological mechanisms of the response to environmental enrichment, ...
