Selection and application of agri-environmental indicators to assess potential technologies for nutrient recovery in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-12-13)
The adverse effects of agriculture and livestock production on the environment are well-known and require mitigation in order to achieve sustainability in the food production chain. This study focused ...
Foraging in the Anthropocene: Feeding plasticity of an opportunistic predator revealed by long term monitoring
(Elsevier, 2021-07-08)
For centuries, human activities have altered the population dynamics of wildlife. New anthropogenic food sources provide a predictable and abundant food supply that often induces very significant ...
Examining the perspectives of using manure from livestock farms as fertilizer to crop fields based on a realistic simulation
(Elsevier, 2021-10-13)
Intensive livestock production has a negative environmental impact by producing large amounts of animal dejections, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate nearby water bodies with nutrient ...
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 ...
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 ...

(Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2023-05-26)
Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) originates from the South American tropics but has become a major invasive pest of tomato and other Solanaceae crops worldwide. Agricultural protected facilities ...
Challenges of viticulture adaptation to global change: tackling the issue from the roots
(Wiley, 2020-12-08)
Viticulture is facing emerging challenges not only because of the effect of climate change on yield and composition of grapes, but also of a social demand for environmental‐friendly agricultural management. ...
Evolution of Swine Influenza Virus H3N2 in Vaccinated and Nonvaccinated Pigs after Previous Natural H1N1 Infection
(MDPI, 2022-09-10)
Swine influenza viruses (SIV) produce a highly contagious and worldwide distributed
disease that can cause important economic losses to the pig industry. Currently, this virus is endemic
in farms and, ...
Maximum levels of cross-contamination for 24 antimicrobial active substances in non-target feed. Part 11: Sulfonamides
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-10-26)
The specific concentrations of sulfonamides in non-target feed for food-producing animals, below which there would not be an effect on the emergence of, and/or selection for, resistance in bacteria ...
Climate impact and adaptation to heat and drought stress of regional and global wheat production
(IOP Publishing, 2021-05-12)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most widely grown food crop in the world threatened by future climate change. In this study, we simulated climate change impacts and adaptation strategies for wheat ...
