Assessment of the control measures of category A diseases of the Animal Health Law: Infection with rinderpest virus (Rinderpest)
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-01-25)
EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission to assess the effectiveness of control measures against diseases included in the Category A list according to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 on transmissible ...
Nutrient supply affects the mRNA expression profile of the porcine skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2017-08-10)
Background: The genetic basis of muscle fat deposition in pigs is not well known. So far, we have only identified a limited number of genes involved in the absorption, transport, storage and catabolism ...
Genetic parameters of sow feed efficiency during lactation and its underlying traits in a Duroc population
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-11-25)
As a result of the genetic selection for prolificacy and the improvements in the environment and farms management, litter size has increased in the last few years so that energy requirements of the ...
Functionality of a next generation biosynthetic bacterial 6-phytase in enhancing phosphorus availability to weaned piglets fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet without added inorganic phosphate
(Elsevier, 2019-12-10)
The utility of a next generation biosynthetic bacterial 6-phytase (PhyG) in restoring bone ash, bone phosphorus (P) content and performance in piglets depleted in P was evaluated. A total of 9 treatments ...
Mixed management in growing and finishing pigs: Differences between gender and their impacts on behavior, growth performance, and physiological parameters
(Public Library of Science, 2023-04-13)
Mixing, a common management strategy used to regroup pigs, has been reported to impair individual performance and affect pig welfare because of the establishment of a new social hierarchy after regrouping. ...
Influence of pre-storage incubation on hatchability traits, thyroid hormones, antioxidative status and immunity of newly hatched chicks at two chicken breeder flock ages
(Elsevier, 2017-04-17)
Egg storage longer than 7 days is associated with negative effects on hatchability traits. Pre-storage incubation has been a suggested method to reduce the negative effects of long-term storage times ...
Genome-wide linkage analysis of QTL for growth and body composition employing the PorcineSNP60 BeadChip
(BMC, 2012-05-20)
Background: The traditional strategy to map QTL is to use linkage analysis employing a limited number of markers.
These analyses report wide QTL confidence intervals, making very difficult to identify ...
Spray dried plasma as an alternative to antibiotics in piglet feeds, mode of action and biosafety
(BMC, 2016-07-23)
The use of growth promoting and therapeutic antibiotics in piglet feed has been a concerning subject over the last few decades because of the risk of generating antimicrobial resistance that could be ...
Assessment of the control measures of the category A diseases of Animal Health Law: peste des petits ruminants
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-07-30)
EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission to assess the effectiveness of some of the control measures against diseases included in the Category A list according to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 ...
The determination of fertiliser quality of the formed struvite from a WWTP
(IWA Publishing, 2021-04-27)
Struvite from nutrient-rich wastewaters has been identified as a potential substitute for commercial mineral fertilisers, with the added benefit of reducing threats to global food security by prolonging ...
