Performance and environmental accounting of nutrient cycling models to estimate nitrogen emissions in agriculture and their sensitivity in life cycle assessment
(Springer, 2021-02-04)
Purpose
Several models are available in the literature to estimate agricultural emissions. From life cycle assessment (LCA) perspective, there is no standardized procedure for estimating emissions of ...
Porcine Forebrain Vacuolization Associated with Wasting in Pigs: A Novel Pathological Outcome Associated with Vitamin–Mineral Deficiency?
(MDPI, 2023-07-10)
The term wasting refers to a clinical sign used to describe a physical condition characterized
by growth retardation, usually of multifactorial origin. The objective of the present study was to
describe ...
Ppe.RPT/SSC‑1: from QTL mapping to a predictive KASP test for ripening time and soluble solids concentration in peach
(Nature Research, 2024-01-17)
Genomic regions associated with ripening time (RPT) and soluble solids concentration (SSC) were
mapped using a pedigreed population including multiple F1 and F2 families from the Clemson

(Elsevier, 2022-11-04)
A 10-year-old peach-faced lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis) was evaluated for an ulcerated and painful mass at the location of a fracture 2 years previously. Whole body radiographs showed a humeral ...
Annual short-burst mass anthelmintic administration reduces tuberculosis severity but not prevalence in a wildlife reservoir
(Frontiers Media, 2023-10-23)
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis
complex (MTC), is an important disease in both human and animal systems.
Helminths are commonly found in coinfection with MTC and TB is ...
Investigation of chronic and persistent classical swine fever infections under field conditions and their impact on vaccine efficacy
(BMC, 2019-07-15)
Background: Recent studies have hypothesized that circulation of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) variants when the immunity induced by the vaccine is not sterilizing might favour viral persistence. ...

Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur, 1839) (Insecta, Heteroptera, Miridae) is a predator of key vegetable crop pests applied as a biocontrol agent in the Mediterranean region. M. pygmaeus and M. melanotoma (A. ...
Changes in the rumen and colon microbiota and effects of live yeast dietary supplementation during the transition from the dry period to lactation of dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2019-05-02)
The first objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics and their potential association with animal performance of the microbiota in both the rumen and colon of dairy cows as they move from a ...
Water primrose invasion changes successional pathways in an estuarine ecosystem
(Ecological Society of America, 2018-09-17)
Invasive species fundamentally change the bio-physical and ecological characteristics of the
ecosystems they invade. Rapidly expanding invasive species may facilitate the spread of other invasive ...
