Quality of Death in Fighting Bulls during Bullfights: Neurobiology and Physiological Responses
(MDPI, 2021-09-27)
During bullfights, bulls undergo physiometabolic responses such as glycolysis, anaerobic reactions, cellular oedema, splenic contraction, and hypovolemic shock. The objective of this review article is ...
Dietary supplementation of a combination of formic acid and sodium formate in practical diets promotes gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) gut morphology and disease resistance
(Elsevier, 2024-01-29)
Optimizing growth and feed conversion ratios by improving gut function and health is critial to ensuring costeffective production in aquaculture, especially in the current context of low fishmeal and ...
Variations in association of nasal microbiota with virulent and non-virulent strains of Glaesserella (Haemophilus) parasuis in weaning piglets
(BMC, 2020-02-03)
Glaesserella (formerly Haemophilus) parasuis causes Glässer's disease, which results in high economic loss in the swine industry. To understand the polymicrobial interactions of G. parasuis and the nasal ...
Evolution of Swine Influenza Virus H3N2 in Vaccinated and Nonvaccinated Pigs after Previous Natural H1N1 Infection
(MDPI, 2022-09-10)
Swine influenza viruses (SIV) produce a highly contagious and worldwide distributed
disease that can cause important economic losses to the pig industry. Currently, this virus is endemic
in farms and, ...
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) population study in experimentally infected pigs developing PCV2-systemic disease or a subclinical infection
(Nature Research, 2020-10-20)
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) is a single stranded DNA virus with one of the highest mutation rates among DNA viruses. This ability allows it to generate a cloud of mutants constantly providing new ...
Commercial feed containing porcine plasma spiked with African swine fever virus is not infective in pigs when administered for 14 consecutive days
(Public Library of Science, 2020-07-22)
The objective of this study was to determine if commercially collected liquid porcine plasma contaminated with African swine fever virus (ASFV) and fed for 14 consecutive days would infect pigs. ...
Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Sites: Is There Something More Than Exophiala xenobiotica? New Insights into Black Fungal Diversity Using the Long Cold Incubation Method
(MDPI, 2021-09-29)
Human-made hydrocarbon-rich environments are important reservoirs of microorganisms with specific degrading abilities and pathogenic potential. In particular, black fungi are of great interest, but their ...
Genetic parameters and associated genomic regions for global immunocompetence and other health-related traits in pigs
(Nature Research, 2020-10-28)
The inclusion of health-related traits, or functionally associated genetic markers, in pig breeding programs could contribute to produce more robust and disease resistant animals. The aim of the present ...
Effect of harvesting age and size reduction in the performance of anaerobic digestion of Pennisetum grass
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)
In the rural zones of Latin American and Caribbean developing countries, the poorest households rely on traditional fuels such as firewood to meet their daily cooking needs. Many of those countries are ...
Identification of New CTX Analogues in Fish from the Madeira and Selvagens Archipelagos by Neuro-2a CBA and LC-HRMS
(MDPI, 2022-03-29)
Ciguatera Poisoning (CP) is caused by consumption of fish or invertebrates contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs). Presently CP is a public concern in some temperate regions, such as Macaronesia (North-Eastern ...
