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. ...
Computational Analysis of African Swine Fever Virus Protein Space for the Design of an Epitope-Based Vaccine Ensemble
(MDPI, 2020-12-21)
African swine fever virus is the etiological agent of African swine fever, a transmissible severe hemorrhagic disease that affects pigs, causing massive economic losses. There is neither a treatment nor ...
Inactivation of Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes and murine norovirus (MNV-1) on fresh strawberries by conventional and water-assisted ultraviolet light (UV-C)
(Elsevier, 2020-12-31)
The efficacy of the water-assisted ultraviolet-C light (WUVC) strategy was evaluated as an alternative to chlorine sanitization and compared to ‘conventional’ dry technology (DUVC) for the inactivation ...
Can we save a marine species affected by a highly infective, highly lethal, waterborne disease from extinction?
(Elsevier, 2020-03-18)
Anthropogenic drivers and global warming are altering the occurrence of infectious marine diseases, some of which produce mass mortalities with considerable ecosystemic and economic costs. The Mediterranean ...
The Effect of Photoperiod Genes and Flowering Time on Yield and Yield Stability in Durum Wheat
(MDPI, 2020-12-07)
This study analysed the effect of flowering time as influenced by photoperiod sensitivity genes on yield and yield stability in durum wheat. Twenty-three spring genotypes harbouring different allele ...
Relationship between chemical composition and standardized ileal digestible amino acid contents of corn grain in broiler chickens
(Poultry Science Association, 2020-06-25)
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the chemical composition and standardized ileal amino acid digestibility of corn grain and to use these data to develop prediction equations for estimating total ...
Ecohydraulics of river flow alterations and impacts on freshwater fish
(Asociación Ibérica de Limnologia, 2020-01-22)
Ecohydraulics of river flow alterations and impacts on freshwater fish The flow regime is a determinant of the ecological function and natural dynamics of a river system with a prominent effect on ...
Computed tomography evaluation of gilt growth performance and carcass quality under feeding restrictions and compensatory growth effects on the sensory quality of pork
(Elsevier, 2020-04-15)
Restricted feed can affect the body composition of pigs. Body composition can be studied non-destructively in live pigs using computed tomography (CT). The objective was to investigate the effect of ...
