Selection for feed efficiency using the social effects animal model in growing Duroc pigs: evaluation by simulation
(BMC, 2020-09-29)
Background
Traits recorded on animals that are raised in groups can be analysed with the social effects animal model (SAM). For multiple traits, this model specifies the genetic correlation structure ...
Modeling heat stress under organic dairy farming conditions in warm temperate climates within the Mediterranean basin
(Springer, 2020-08-25)
We studied the effect of heat stress on milk quality in Spanish organic dairy farms using
published milk productivity equations. We collected data from 23 weather stations and
14,424 milk test-days ...
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. ...
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 ...
