Paired spawning with male rotation of meagre Argyrosomus regius using GnRHa injections, as a method for producing multiple families for breeding selection programs
(Elsevier, 2018-06-08)
Weekly gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) injections were used to induce spawning in paired male and female meagre (Argyrosomus regius) with a weekly rotation of the males, in order to produce ...
Catalan Virgin Olive Oil Protected Designations of Origin: Physicochemical and Major Sensory Attributes
(Wiley, 2019-01-01)
Catalonia, located in the northeast of Spain, comprises five extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) protected designations of origin (PDOs). Despite the proximity between them, these PDOs represent unique ...
The value of gut microbiota to predict feed efficiency and growth of rabbits under different feeding regimes
(Nature Research, 2021-09-30)
Gut microbiota plays an important role in nutrient absorption and could impact rabbit feed efciency.
This study aims at investigating such impact by evaluating the value added by microbial information
for ...
Residues of Deltamethrin in Pine Needles and Pine Nuts of Catalonia (Spain)
(MDPI, 2023-12-12)
In recent years, recurrent droughts have weakened stone pine (Pinus pinea) forests and facilitated the emergence of harmful pests and diseases, including the Leptoglossus occidentalis. The production ...
Eicosapentaenoic acid- and docosahexaenoic acid-rich fish oil in sow and piglet diets modifies blood oxylipins and immune indicators in both, sows and suckling piglets
(Elsevier, 2022-10-03)
Over the last decades, genetic selection has increased sows’ litter size. Consequently, there is a high proportion of piglets born with low weight which are vulnerable. Their viability may potentially ...
Functional longevity in five rabbit lines founded on different criteria: Comparison at foundation and at fixed times after selection
(Wiley, 2021-03-08)
The enhancement of rabbit female functional longevity, that is the ability to avoid voluntary culling, is a paramount aspect for the sustainability of meat rabbit production; this trait represents a ...
Nitzschia fenestralis: A new diatom species abundant in the Holocene sediments of an eastern African crater lake
(Czech Phycological Society, 2020-02-18)
Nitzschia is common in the phytoplankton of several East African lakes. A new species, Nitzschia fenestralis, sp. nov. D. Grady, D.G. Mann et Trobajo was encountered at numerous depths in a 16 m sediment ...
The relationship between feed efficiency and behaviour differs between lactating Holstein and Jersey cows
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-08-24)
In dairy production, high feed efficiency (FE) is important to reduce feed costs and negative impacts of milk production on the climate and environment, yet little is known about the relationship between ...
Effect of Fertigation with Struvite and Ammonium Nitrate on Substrate Microbiota and N2O Emissions in a Tomato Crop on Soilless Culture System
(MDPI, 2024-01-02)
Struvite and ammonium nitrate (AN), as wastewater-recovered products, are possible alternatives as raw materials for nutrient solutions. However, their impact on the rhizosphere microbiota and N2O ...
