A New Biosynthetic 6-Phytase Added at 500 Phytase Unit/kg Diet Improves Growth Performance, Bone Mineralization, and Nutrient Digestibility and Retention in Weaned Piglets and Growing–Finishing Pigs
(MDPI, 2024-06-03)
Two experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of a biosynthetic 6-phytase added at
500 phytase unit (FTU)/kg diet on growth performance, bone mineralization, and nutrient digestibility and ...
Slaughtering of Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) with and without Stunning: A Focus on the Neurobiology of Pain, Hyperalgesia, and Sensitization
(MDPI, 2023-07-25)
The slaughter process in livestock is considered a stressor where the transport and handling of animals, as well as the selected stunning and bleeding methods, can cause acute pain, distress, and ...
Strategies for Feeding Unweaned Dairy Beef Cattle to Improve Their Health
(MDPI, 2020-10-18)
In order to answer the question of whether nutritional interventions may help to reduce
the incidence of respiratory disease in dairy beef calves at arrival, the present review is divided in
three ...
Trans-Generational Effect of Maternal Lactation during Pregnancy: A Holstein Cow Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-20)
Epigenetic regulation in mammals begins in the first stages of embryogenesis. This prenatal programming determines, in
part, phenotype expression in adult life. Some species, particularly dairy cattle, ...
Selection of reference samples for updating multivariate calibration models used in the analysis of pig faeces
(Elsevier, 2022-12-30)
Monitoring and updating calibration models are common tasks when analytical methods are based on nearinfrared spectroscopy. This work describes a situation in which a PLS calibration model that is used ...
Agonic Aspiration of Blood: Not Useful as an Animal-Based Indicator of Electrical Stunning Ineffectiveness in Pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus)
(MDPI, 2023-07-13)
Agonic aspiration of blood (AAB) may result from an inadequate exsanguination with accidental trachea severing, that can be favoured by ineffective stunning of pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus). This study ...
The equipment used in the SF6 technique to estimate methane emissions has no major effect on dairy cow behavior
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-29)
The natural behavior of animals can be disrupted by the techniques and materials of research methodologies. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the equipment used in the SF6 tracer technique to ...
Hierarchical clustering as a tool to develop a classification scheme for rabbit meat quality
(World Rabbit Science Association (WRSA), 2021-09-01)
This study aimed to characterise the quality of meat from commercially-raised rabbits. Animals came from five different producers and were laughtered in three different plants under provincial or federal ...
Segregation of Regulatory Polymorphisms with Effects on the Gluteus Medius Transcriptome in a Purebred Pig Population
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-24)
Background: The main goal of the present study was to analyse the genetic architecture of mRNA expression in muscle, a
tissue with an outmost economic importance for pig breeders. Previous studies have ...
Novel strategies to improve chicken performance and welfare by unveiling host-microbiota interactions through hologenomics
(Frontiers Media, 2022-09-06)
Fast optimisation of farming practices is essential to meet environmental sustainability challenges. Hologenomics, the joint study of the genomic features of animals and the microbial communities ...
