Agricultural policies against invasive species generate contrasting outcomes for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation
(The Royal Society, 2022-10-19)
Direct consequences of biological invasions on biodiversity and the environment have been largely documented. Yet collateral indirect effects mediated by changes in agri-environmental policies aimed at ...
Effects of nomadic grazing system and indoor concentrate feeding systems on performance, behavior, blood parameters, and meat quality of finishing lambs
(Public Library of Science, 2022-12-07)
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of three production systems on growth performance, behavior, blood parameters, carcass characteristics, and meat quality. A total of 30 lambs (n = ...
Fermented soybean meal can partially replace fishmeal and improve the intestinal condition of goldfish juveniles reared in a biofloc system
(Wiley, 2022-10-26)
This study evaluated the effects of different dietary inclusion levels of fermented soybean meal (FSM) as replacement for fish meal and their effects on the productive performance and intestinal condition ...
Determining a robust indirect measurement of leaf area index in California vineyards for validating remote sensing-based retrievals
(Springer Verlag, 2018-12-05)
Accurate ground-based measurements of leaf area index (LAI) are needed for validation of remote sensing-based retrievals used in models estimating plant water use, stress, carbon assimilation and other ...
Factors Associated with the Introduction of Mycobacterium avium spp. Paratuberculosis (MAP) into Dairy Herds in Galicia (North-West Spain): The Perception of Experts
(MDPI, 2021-01-12)
This study aimed at quantifying expert opinions on the risk factors involved in Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infection in dairy cattle herds. For this purpose, potential risk factors ...
Current Knowledge on the Transportation by Road of Cattle, including Unweaned Calves
(MDPI, 2023-11-01)
Transport conditions have the potential to alter the physiological responses of animals to the psychological or physical stress of transport. Transportation may introduce multiple physical and psychological ...
The Identification of Runs of Homozygosity Gives a Focus on the Genetic Diversity and Adaptation of the “Charolais de Cuba” Cattle
(MDPI, 2020-11-27)
Inbreeding and effective population size (Ne) are fundamental indicators for the management and conservation of genetic diversity in populations. Genomic inbreeding gives accurate estimates of inbreeding, ...
Exploiting Genetic and Genomic Resources to Enhance Heat-Tolerance in Tomatoes
(MDPI, 2019-01-08)
High temperature is one of the most detrimental abiotic stresses in tomatoes. Many studies
highlighted that even small increases in temperature can alter the plant reproductive system, causing ...
A functional regulatory variant of MYH3 influences muscle fiber-type composition and intramuscular fat content in pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2019-10-11)
Muscle development and lipid accumulation in muscle critically affect meat quality of livestock. However, the genetic factors underlying myofiber-type specification and intramuscular fat (IMF) accumulation ...
Impact of the diet in the gut microbiota after an inter-species microbial transplantation in fish
(Nature Research, 2024-02-18)
Inter-species microbial transplantations offer the possibility of transferring species-specific microbes and their associated functionality. As a conceptual approach, an intestinal microbiota transplant ...
