Indirect genetic effects on the relationships between production and feeding behaviour traits in growing Duroc pigs
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-10-01)
Performance and feeding behaviour traits in growing pigs could be affected by social interaction effects when animals are raised in group. So, properly knowing the genetic correlations between direct ...
Pharmacokinetics of oral and subcutaneous meloxicam: Effect on indicators of pain and inflammation after knife castration in weaned beef calves
(Public Library of Science, 2019-05-24)
Oral meloxicam is labelled for reducing pain and inflammation associated with castration in cattle in Canada, however, subcutaneous meloxicam is only labelled for pain associated with dis-budding and ...
Functionality of a next generation biosynthetic bacterial 6-phytase in enhancing phosphorus availability to weaned piglets fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet without added inorganic phosphate
(Elsevier, 2019-12-10)
The utility of a next generation biosynthetic bacterial 6-phytase (PhyG) in restoring bone ash, bone phosphorus (P) content and performance in piglets depleted in P was evaluated. A total of 9 treatments ...
Are Tail and Ear Movements Indicators of Emotions in Tail-Docked Pigs in Response to Environmental Enrichment?
(MDPI, 2019-07-16)
The inclusion of emotional indicators in farm monitoring methods can improve welfare
assessments. Studies in controlled conditions have suggested that increased tail movement is an
indicator of positive ...
Machine learning applied to transcriptomic data to identify genes associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-03-13)
Background: To date, the molecular mechanisms that underlie residual feed intake (RFI) in pigs are unknown. Results
from diferent genome‑wide association studies and gene expression analyses are not ...
How target‑orientated is the use of homeopathy in dairy farming?—A survey in France, Germany and Spain
(BMC, 2019-07-12)
Background: Veterinary remedies are intended to support animals in their recovery from diseases. Treatment outcome
depends not only on the general effectiveness of the remedies themselves, but also on ...
Age-Related Serum Biochemical Reference Intervals Established for Unweaned Calves and Piglets in the Post-weaning Period
(Frontiers Media, 2019-04-24)
The purpose of the present study is to establish the influence of age on serum biochemistry reference intervals (RIs) for unweaned calves and recently-weaned piglets using large number of animals sampled ...
Killing for purposes other than slaughter: poultry
(Wiley, 2019-11-13)
Poultry of different ages may have to be killed on-farm for purposes other than slaughter (in which
slaughtering is defined as being for human consumption) either individually or on a large scale ...
Slaughter of animals: poultry
(Wiley, 2019-11-13)
The killing of poultry for human consumption (slaughtering) can take place in a slaughterhouse or during on‐farm slaughter. The processes of slaughtering that were assessed, from the arrival of birds ...
