On the holobiont ‘predictome’ of immunocompetence in pigs
(BMC, 2023-05-01)
Background
Gut microbial composition plays an important role in numerous traits, including immune response. Integration of host genomic information with microbiome data is a natural step in the prediction ...
Yolk Absorption Rate and Mouth Development in Larvae of Dormitator latifrons (Perciformes: Eleotridae)
(MDPI, 2022-12-07)
Fish larvae suffer high starvation mortality during the transition from yolk absorption to exogenous feeding, and the size of the developing buccal structures limits the food they can consume. Determining ...
Meat Consumers’ Opinion Regarding Unhealthy Pigs: Should They Be Treated with Antibiotics or Euthanized on Farm?
(MDPI, 2021-01-09)
The aim of this study was to investigate the opinions of meat consumers (n = 1780) on on-farm management of unhealthy pigs, whether support for treatment with antibiotics varies according with chance ...

Hydrophobic membranes for ammonia recovery from digestates in microbial electrolysis cells: Assessment of different configurations
(Elsevier, 2021-03-01)
The combination of hydrophobic membranes and microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) was assessed in two different configurations in order to recover ammonia from anaerobically digested pig slurry. ...
Removal of the Erns RNase Activity and of the 39 Untranslated Region Polyuridine Insertion in a Low-Virulence Classical Swine Fever Virus Triggers a Cytokine Storm and Lethal Disease
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022-06-27)
In this study, we assessed the potential synergistic effect of the Erns RNase activity and the poly-U insertion in the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of the low-virulence classical swine fever virus (CSFV) ...
Cyclodextrin polymers as passive sampling materials for lipophilic marine toxins in Prorocentrum lima cultures and a Dinophysis sacculus bloom in the NW Mediterranean Sea
(Elsevier, 2021-07-09)
Cyclodextrins, cyclic oligomers that form a conical structure with an internal cavity, are proposed as new and sustainable materials for passive sampling of lipophilic marine toxins. Two applicability ...
Milk fat globule membrane plus milk fat increase docosahexaenoic acid availability in infant formulas
(Springer, 2022-10-25)
Purpose
Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) has components with emulsifier properties that could affect the provision of substrates to the brain. We evaluated the effects of MFGM plus milk fat addition ...
The effect of spray‐dried porcine plasma on gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) intestinal microbiota
(Wiley, 2020-01-24)
The effect of spray‐dried porcine plasma (SDPP) on the intestinal histological organization and autochthonous microbiota composition was evaluated in Sparus aurata. Fish were fed a basal diet (51 g/kg ...
Development of a Fully Protective Pandemic Avian Influenza Subunit Vaccine in Insect Pupae
(MDPI, 2024-05-23)
In this study, we pioneered an alternative technology for manufacturing subunit influenza
