Machine learning applied to transcriptomic data to identify genes associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-03-13)
Background: To date, the molecular mechanisms that underlie residual feed intake (RFI) in pigs are unknown. Results
from diferent genome‑wide association studies and gene expression analyses are not ...
Are Tail and Ear Movements Indicators of Emotions in Tail-Docked Pigs in Response to Environmental Enrichment?
(MDPI, 2019-07-16)
The inclusion of emotional indicators in farm monitoring methods can improve welfare
assessments. Studies in controlled conditions have suggested that increased tail movement is an
indicator of positive ...

This opinion describes outdoor farming of pigs in the EU, assesses the risk of African swine fewer (ASF) introduction and spread associated with outdoor pig farms and proposes biosecurity and control ...
Characterization of the Maternally Derived Antibody Immunity against Rhdv-2 after Administration in Breeding Does of an Inactivated Vaccine
(MDPI, 2020-08-28)
Inactivated strain-specific vaccines have been successfully used to control rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) caused by RHDV-2 in the rabbit industry. It is unknown whether and how vaccination of breeding ...
Citrus Flavonoids Supplementation as an Alternative to Replace Zinc Oxide in Weanling Pigs’ Diets Minimizing the Use of Antibiotics
(MDPI, 2023-03-07)
Since citrus flavonoids have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it was hypothesized that these compounds would become a suitable alternative to the use of therapeutic doses of zinc oxide at ...

Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) No 2016/429): antimicrobial-resistant Rhodococcus equi in horses
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-02-02)
Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) was identified among the most relevant antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria in the EU for horses in a previous scientific opinion. Thus, it has been assessed according to ...
Grape seed Proanthocyanidins target the Enteroendocrine system in cafeteria‐diet‐fed rats
(Wiley, 2019-04-12)
Scope The effects on the enteroendocrine system of three different grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) treatments are analyzed in rats on a cafeteria diet for 17 weeks. Methods and results GSPE ...
Administration of Alphitobius diaperinus or Tenebrio molitor before meals transiently increases food intake through enterohormone regulation in female rats
(Wiley, 2022-11-02)
Background. It has been previously shown that acutely administered insect A. diaperinus protein increases food intake in rats and modifies the ex vivo enterohormone secretory profile differently than ...
