Intensive antibiotic treatment of sows with parenteral crystalline ceftiofur and tulathromycin alters the composition of the nasal microbiota of their ofspring
(BMC, 2023-11-24)
The nasal microbiota plays an important role in animal health and the use of antibiotics is a major factor that infu‑
ences its composition. Here, we studied the consequences of an intensive antibiotic ...
Optimizing the Malaxation Conditions to Produce an Arbequina EVOO with High Content of Bioactive Compounds
(MDPI, 2021-11-17)
To meet the growing demand for high-quality extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) with health-promoting properties and pleasant sensory properties, studies are needed to establish optimal production parameters. ...
A global analysis of CNVs in swine using whole genome sequence data and association analysis with fatty acid composition and growth traits
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05-04)
Copy number variations (CNVs) are important genetic variants complementary to SNPs, and can be considered as biomarkers for some economically important traits in domestic animals. In the present study, ...
