Effect of a Mycotoxin Binder (MMDA) on the Growth Performance, Blood and Carcass Characteristics of Broilers Fed Ochratoxin A and T-2 Mycotoxin Contaminated Diets
(MDPI, 2021-11-10)
The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the feed additive, a novel
multicomponent mycotoxin detoxifying agent (MMDA) containing modified zeolite (clinoptilolite),
Bacillus subtilis, ...
Research priorities to fill knowledge gaps on ASF seasonality that could improve the control of ASF
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-04-19)
The European Commission requested EFSA to provide study designs for the investigation of four research domains according to major gaps in knowledge identified by EFSA in a report published in 2019: i) ...
Selection for feed efficiency using the social effects animal model in growing Duroc pigs: evaluation by simulation
(BMC, 2020-09-29)
Background
Traits recorded on animals that are raised in groups can be analysed with the social effects animal model (SAM). For multiple traits, this model specifies the genetic correlation structure ...
Analysis of the Sustainability of Fattening Systems for Iberian Traditional Pig Production through a Technical and Environmental Approach
(MDPI, 2021-02-05)
At present, two types of fattening are carried out in Iberian traditional pig production. The montanera is the fattening system where fatteners are fed on acorns and pasture in the dehesa, and cebo de ...
Genic and non-genic SNP contributions to additive and dominance genetic effects in purebred and crossbred pig traits
(Nature Research, 2022-03-09)
The present research has estimated the additive and dominance genetic variances of genic and intergenic segments for average daily gain (ADG), backfat thickness (BFT) and pH of the semimembranosus dorsi ...
Modeling heat stress under organic dairy farming conditions in warm temperate climates within the Mediterranean basin
(Springer, 2020-08-25)
We studied the effect of heat stress on milk quality in Spanish organic dairy farms using
published milk productivity equations. We collected data from 23 weather stations and
14,424 milk test-days ...
Survival analysis of productive life in Florida dairy goats using a Cox proportional hazards model
(Wiley, 2023-03-18)
Longevity is an economically important trait, since extending the functional life of a doe would allow us to keep the most productive females in the herd as long as possible, and this could result in ...
A Co-Association Network Analysis Reveals Putative Regulators for Health-Related Traits in Pigs
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-26)
In recent years, the increase in awareness of antimicrobial resistance together with the societal demand of healthier meat products have driven attention to health-related traits in livestock production. ...
The control of intestinal inflammation: A major objective in the research of probiotic strains as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry
(MDPI, 2020-01-21)
The reduction of antimicrobial resistance is a major challenge for the scientific community. In a few decades, infections by resistant bacteria are forecasted to be the main cause of death in the world. ...
Evaluation of potential biomarkers to determine adequate colostrum provision in male dairy-beef calves upon arrival at the rearing facility beyond 14 days of age
(Elsevier, 2022-11-21)
Colostrum consumption is crucial for passive immunization and development of the newborn calf. However, the incidence on failed transfer of passive immunity in male calves destined to dairy-beef production ...
