Stunning pigs with nitrogen and carbon dioxide mixtures: effects on animal welfare and meat quality
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-10-10)
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of exposure to the gas mixtures of 70% nitrogen (N2) and 30% carbon dioxide (CO2;
70N30C), 80% N2 and 20% CO2 (80N20C) and 85% N2 and 15% CO2 (85N15C) on ...
Copy Number Variation on ABCC2-DNMBP Loci Affects the Diversity and Composition of the Fecal Microbiota in Pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-05-31)
Genetic variation in the pig genome partially modulates the composition of porcine gut microbial communities. Previous studies have been focused on the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Assessment of unconsciousness in pigs during exposure to nitrogen and carbon dioxide mixtures
(Elsevier, 2012-10-26)
The aim of this study was to assess unconsciousness in pigs during and after the exposure to gas mixtures of 70% nitrogen (N2)
and 30% carbon dioxide (CO2) (70N30C), 80% N2 and 20% CO2 (80N20C) and 85% ...
Use of high concentrations of carbon dioxide for stunning rabbits reared for meat production
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2016-03-22)
An investigation was performed to determine whether high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) at 70-98% in atmospheric air are a suitable alternative for stunning rabbits compared to conventional
approaches ...
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 ...
Effect of environmental temperature, floor type and breed on skatole and indole concentrations in fat of females, immuno-castrated and entire males
(Elsevier, 2018-11-29)
The present study was divided in two different trials. The aim of the first trial was to determine if the thresholds of detection of skatole and indole are achieved in females and in males vaccinated ...
Neurobiology of environmental enrichment in pigs: hanges in monoaminergic neurotransmitters in several brain areas and in the hippocampal proteome
(Elsevier, 2020-08-16)
Environmental enrichment in porcine farms improves animal welfare and leads to better public acceptance. To better understand the neurological mechanisms of the response to environmental enrichment, ...
The feasibility of using gas mixture to stun seabream (Sparus aurata) before slaughtering in aquaculture production
(Elsevier, 2021-07-10)
Current European Union regulation explicitly states that farmed fish should be spared any avoidable pain, distress or suffering at the time of slaughter. It has been shown that fish suffer when they are ...
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 ...
Effects of meloxicam (Metacam® ) on post-farrowing sow behaviour and piglet performance
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-09-26)
Farrowing is an intrinsically risky process for both the sow and the piglets that can cause welfare and economic problems. The effects
of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam on post-farrowing ...
