Slaughter of animals: poultry
(Wiley, 2019-11-13)
The killing of poultry for human consumption (slaughtering) can take place in a slaughterhouse or during on‐farm slaughter. The processes of slaughtering that were assessed, from the arrival of birds ...
Feeding pasteurized waste milk to preweaned dairy calves changes fecal and upper respiratory tract microbiota
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06-06)
In the present study bacterial communities from both, the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract of pre-weaned dairy calves fed two different milk-feeding programs were characterized using 16S rRNA gene ...
The effects of environmental enrichment on the physiology, behaviour, productivity and meat quality of pigs raised in a hot climate
(MDPI, 2019-05-13)
European Union (EU) legislation states that the routine tail docking of pigs should not be carried out and that manipulable materials should be made available to all pigs to prevent tail biting and allow ...
Exploring the use of tertiary reclaimed water in dairy cattle production
(Elsevier, 2019-04-30)
The objective of this study was to explore through both in vitro and in vivo experiments the use of reclaimed urban wastewater in dairy cattle production systems with the aim of improving water efficiency ...
In vivo safety evaluation of the Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 strain in broilers, piglets, and turkeys
(SAGE Publications, 2019-02-11)
Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM 588) is a nonpathogenic, anaerobic, gram-positive bacillus characterized by the production of short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate. The safety and tolerance ...
Indirect genetic effects on the relationships between production and feeding behaviour traits in growing Duroc pigs
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-10-01)
Performance and feeding behaviour traits in growing pigs could be affected by social interaction effects when animals are raised in group. So, properly knowing the genetic correlations between direct ...
Inbreeding depression load for litter size in Entrepelado and Retinto Iberian pig varieties
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03-14)
Individual-specific hidden inbreeding depression load (IDL) can be accounted for in livestock populations by appropriate best linear unbiased prediction approaches. This genetic effect has a recessive ...
Functionality of a next generation biosynthetic bacterial 6-phytase in enhancing phosphorus availability to weaned piglets fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet without added inorganic phosphate
(Elsevier, 2019-12-10)
The utility of a next generation biosynthetic bacterial 6-phytase (PhyG) in restoring bone ash, bone phosphorus (P) content and performance in piglets depleted in P was evaluated. A total of 9 treatments ...
Use of group records of feed intake to select for feed efficiency in rabbit
(Wiley, 2019-04-24)
Models for genetic evaluation of feed efficiency (FE) for animals housed in groups when they are either fed ad libitum (F) or on restricted (R) feeding were implemented. Definitions of FE on F included ...
Killing for purposes other than slaughter: poultry
(Wiley, 2019-11-13)
Poultry of different ages may have to be killed on-farm for purposes other than slaughter (in which
slaughtering is defined as being for human consumption) either individually or on a large scale ...
