Current Knowledge on the Transportation by Road of Cattle, including Unweaned Calves
(MDPI, 2023-11-01)
Transport conditions have the potential to alter the physiological responses of animals to the psychological or physical stress of transport. Transportation may introduce multiple physical and psychological ...
Strategies for Feeding Unweaned Dairy Beef Cattle to Improve Their Health
(MDPI, 2020-10-18)
In order to answer the question of whether nutritional interventions may help to reduce
the incidence of respiratory disease in dairy beef calves at arrival, the present review is divided in
three ...
Trans-Generational Effect of Maternal Lactation during Pregnancy: A Holstein Cow Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-20)
Epigenetic regulation in mammals begins in the first stages of embryogenesis. This prenatal programming determines, in
part, phenotype expression in adult life. Some species, particularly dairy cattle, ...
A new generation of recombinant polypeptides combines multiple protein domains for effective antimicrobial activity
(BMC, 2020-06-05)
Background
Although most of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), being relatively short, are produced by chemical synthesis, several AMPs have been produced using recombinant technology. However, AMPs could ...
Characterization of Three Different Mediterranean Beef Fattening Systems: Performance, Behavior, and Carcass and Meat Quality
(Animals, 22-08-02)
The aim of this study was to characterize three different commercial dairy beef fattening systems for intensive Mediterranean fattening programs differing in gender, breed, nutrition, and days of feed ...
Antibiofilm surfaces based on the immobilization of a novel recombinant antimicrobial multidomain protein using self-assembled monolayers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-04-13)
The constant increase of microorganisms resistant to antibiotics has been classified as a global health emergency, which is especially challenging when biofilms are formed. Herein, novel biofunctionalized ...
Sequence edition of single domains modulates the final immune and antimicrobial potential of a new generation of multidomain recombinant proteins
(Nature Research, 2021-12-10)
Combining several innate immune peptides into a single recombinant antimicrobial and immunomodulatory polypeptide has been recently demonstrated. However, the versatility of the multidomain design, the ...
Slow-Release Urea as a Sustainable Alternative to Soybean Meal in Ruminant Nutrition
(MDPI, 2021-02-25)
Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using a commercial slow-release urea product (SRU; Optigen®, Alltech Inc., Nicholasville, KY, USA) as a partial replacement for vegetable ...
Potential of Oral Nanoparticles Containing Cytokines as Intestinal Mucosal Immunostimulants in Pigs: A Pilot Study
(MDPI, 2022-04-21)
Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat that is worryingly rising in the livestock sector.
Among the proposed strategies, immunostimulant development appears an interesting approach to
increase ...
