Integrative approach using liver and duodenum RNA-Seq data identifies candidate genes and pathways associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(Springer Nature, 2018-01-11)
This study aims identifying candidate genes and pathways associated with feed efficiency (FE) in pigs. Liver and duodenum transcriptomes of 37 gilts showing high and low residual feed intake (RFI) were ...
Effect of phytase, carbohydrase, and protease addition to a wheat distillers dried grains with solubles and rapeseed based diet on in vitro ileal digestibility, growth, and bone mineral density of grower-finisher pigs
(Elsevier, 2018-07-07)
The use of rapeseed meal (RSM) and wheat distillers dried grains with solubles (wDDGS) in pig diets is increasingand dietary supplementation with exogenous enzymes has been suggested as means of improving ...
A novel glucuronoxylan hydrolase produced by fermentation is safe as feed additive: toxicology and tolerance in broiler chickens
(Elsevier, 2018-09-25)
The current study presents a safety evaluation of a novel glucuronoxylan hydrolase (EC 3.2.1.136) from Bacillus subtilis produced in Bacillus licheniformis. The glucuronoxylan hydrolase preparation did ...
Effect of particle size of a mash concentrate on behavior, digestibility, and macroscopic and microscopic integrity of the digestive tract in Holstein bulls fed intensively
(Oxford University Press, 2018-11-01)
Twenty-four individually housed Holstein bulls (456 ± 6.9 kg of body weight and 292 ± 1.4 d of age) were enrolled in a complete randomized experiment involving four dietary treatments to evaluate the ...
A new approach to obtain pure and active proteins from Lactococcus lactis protein aggregates
(Nature Research, 2018-09-17)
The production of pure and soluble proteins is a complex, protein-dependent and time-consuming
process, in particular for those prone-to-aggregate and/or difcult-to-purify. Although Escherichia coli ...
Effects of flavonoids extracted from Citrus aurantium on performance, eating and animal behavior, rumen health, and carcass quality in Holstein bulls fed high-concentrate diets
(Elsevier, 2018-08-19)
The effects of flavonoids extracted from Citrus aurantium (Bioflavex® CA) on eating pattern, performance, carcass quality, and rumen wall health of Holstein bulls fed on a single feeder were studied. ...
Skeletal muscle metabolomics and blood biochemistry analysis reveal metabolic changes associated with dietary amino acid supplementation in dairy calves
(Springer Nature, 2018-09-14)
The efects of diferent amino acid (AA) supplementations of milk protein-based milk replacers
in pre-ruminant calves from 3 days to 7 weeks of age were studied. Animals were divided into 4
groups: Ctrl) ...
Genetic diversity and selection signatures of the beef ‘Charolais de Cuba’ breed
(Nature Research, 2018-07-20)
In this study, we used BovineSNP50 Genotyping BeadChip data to estimate the structure, putative
ancestral origin as well as to identify regions with selective sweeps that may have had an important
role ...
Rabbit Microbiota Changes Throughout the Intestinal Tract
(Frontiers Media, 2018-09-13)
To gain insight into the importance of carefully selecting the sampling area for intestinal
microbiota studies, cecal and fecal microbial communities of Caldes meat rabbit were
characterized. The ...
Effects of a participatory approach, with systematic impact matrix analysis in herd health planning in organic dairy cattle herds
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-08-10)
The animal health and welfare status in European organic dairy production does not in all aspects meet the organic principles and
consumers’ expectations and needs to be improved. To achieve this, ...
