Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Nature Research, 2016-08-18)
The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits
affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ...
In quest of reducing the environmental impacts of food production and consumption
(Elsevier, 2016-09-09)
Food supply chains are increasingly associated with environmental and socio-economic impacts. An
increasing global population, an evolution in consumers' needs, and changes in consumption models
pose ...
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 ...
Validated methodology for quantifying infestation levels of dreissenid mussels in environmental DNA (eDNA) samples
(Nature Research, 2016-12-14)
The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha Pallas, 1771) and the quagga mussel (D. rostriformis Deshayes, 1838) are successful invasive bivalves with substantial ecological and economic impacts in freshwater ...
Environmental life cycle assessment of producing willow, alfalfa and straw from spring barley as feedstocks for bioenergy or biorefinery systems
(Elsevier, 2016-10-17)
The aim of this study is to assess the potential environmental impacts of producing maize, grass-clover, ryegrass, and straw from winter wheat as biomass feedstocks for biorefinery. The Life Cycle ...
Meta‐analysis approach to the effects of live prey on the growth of Octopus vulgaris paralarvae under culture conditions
(Wiley, 2016-02-14)
The common octopus (Octopus vulgaris, Cuvier 1797) is a promising species for aquaculture diversification, but the massive mortality during the first life stage is the main bottleneck for its commercial ...
Crossbreeding effects on rabbit reproduction from four maternal lines of rabbits
(Elsevier, 2016-01-07)
Litter size is essential for an efficient production of rabbit meat. A diallel cross between four maternal lines was carried out and the analysis of the components of litter size has been already done. ...
Multi‑breed and multi‑trait co‑association analysis of meat tenderness and other meat quality traits in three French beef cattle breeds
(BMC, 2016-04-23)
Background: Studies to identify markers associated with beef tenderness have focused on Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) but the interplay between the genes associated with WBSF has not been explored. ...
Functional inclusion bodies produced in the yeast Pichia pastoris
(BMC, 2016-10-01)
Background: Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) are non‑toxic protein aggregates commonly produced in recombinant bacteria. They are formed by a mixture of highly stable amyloid‑like fibrils and releasable ...
Complex Particulate Biomaterials as Immunostimulant-Delivery Platforms
(Public Library of Science, 2016-10-07)
The control of infectious diseases is a major current challenge in intensive aquaculture. Most commercial vaccines are based on live attenuated or inactivated pathogens that are usually combined with ...
