Exploring the application of Corynebacterium glutamicum single cell protein in the diet of flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus): effects on growth performance, digestive enzymes activity and gut microbiota
(Frontiers, 2023-06-15)
The capacity of utilising a single cell protein (SCP) ingredient coming from Corynebacterium glutamicum was assessed on adult grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) reared in captive conditions. The experiment ...
Comprehensive Analysis of Codon Usage Patterns in Chinese Porcine Circoviruses Based on Their Major Protein-Coding Sequences
(MDPI, 2022-01-03)
Porcine circoviruses (PCVs) are distributed in swine herds worldwide and represent a threat to the health of domestic pigs and the profits of the swine industry. Currently, four PCV species, including ...
Effect of Ppd-A1 and Ppd-B1 Allelic Variants on Grain Number and Thousand Kernel Weight of Durum Wheat and Their Impact on Final Grain Yield
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018-06-29)
The main yield components in durum wheat are grain number per unit area (GN) and
thousand kernel weight (TKW), both of which are affected by environmental conditions.
The most critical developmental ...
Indirect genetic effect model using feeding behaviour traits to define the degree of interaction between mates: an implementation in pigs growth rate
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-06-06)
An alternative implementation of the animal model including indirect genetic effect (IGE) is presented considering pair-mate-specific interaction degrees to improve the performance of the model. Data ...

(Wiley Open Access, 2021-06-17)
The role of food-producing environments in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in EU plant-based food production, terrestrial animals (poultry, cattle and pigs) and aquaculture ...
Should animal welfare regulations be more restrictive? A case study in eight European Union Countries
(MDPI, 2019-04-25)
Increasingly, intensive livestock production systems have increased societal concern
regarding the current animal welfare standards. We investigated whether individuals in their roles
as consumers and ...
Novel phenotypes of feeding and social behaviour and their relationship with individual rabbit growth and feed efficiency
(Elsevier, 2024-01-30)
Due to the lack of a recording system for individual consumption of group-housed rabbits, published studies about feeding behaviour are based on information recorded at the group- and not at the individual ...
Prevalence and lameness-associated risk factors in Alberta feedlot cattle
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03-13)
Lameness in cattle is a health and welfare concern; however, limited information is available on risk factors and the relationship between lameness and common diseases like bovine respiratory disease ...
Haemophilus parasuis VtaA2 is involved in adhesion to extracellular proteins
(BMC, 2019-09-23)
Haemophilus parasuis is part of the microbiota of the upper respiratory tract in swine. However, virulent strains can cause a systemic disease known as Glässer’s disease. Several virulence factors have ...
Composition and properties of the polyphenolic extracts obtained from industrial plum pomaces
(Elsevier, 2014-12-10)
The polyphenol composition of purified extracts obtained from plum pomace gathered from production lines of a modern fruit transformation plant was characterized. The extraction of polyphenols from ...
