Animal welfare assessment protocol for does, bucks, and kit rabbits reared for production
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020-08-07)Rabbits are the third species in terms of number of animals reared for meat production in the world. However, in comparison to other species, very few studies have focused on their welfare. The aim of ... -
Attitudes and beliefs of Eastern European consumers towards animal welfare
(Animals, 2020-07-17)The aim of this exploratory work, because of the existing bias on the size of the sample and some of the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, was to investigate the Eastern European ... -
Intact tails as a welfare indicator in finishing pigs? Scoring of tail lesions and defining intact tails in undocked pigs at the abattoir
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020-07-16)Tail biting lesions are a potential measure of on-farm animal welfare, as a large range of stressors increase the risk for tail biting outbreaks. Further, tail biting is a major challenge, as lesions ... -
The multi-site PeachRefPop collection: a true cultural heritage and international scientific tool for fruit trees
(Plant Physiology, 2020-07-29)Plants have evolved a range of adaptive mechanisms that adjust their development and physiology to variable external conditions, particularly in perennial species subjected to long-term interplay with ... -
Diversity of influenza A viruses retrieved from respiratory disease outbreaks and subclinically infected herds in Spain (2017-2019)
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020-07-03)The present study was aimed to assess the diversity of influenza A viruses (IAV) circulating in pig farms in the Iberian Peninsula. The study included two different situations: farms suffering respiratory ... -
African swine fever vaccines: a promising work still in progress
(Porcine Health Management, 2020-07-02)African swine fever (ASF), a disease of obligatory declaration to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), has contributed to poverty and underdevelopment of affected areas. The presence of ASF ... -
Inoculum and infection dynamics of Polystigma amygdalinum in almond orchards in Spain
(Plant Disease, 2020-02-20)Red leaf blotch (RLB) disease of almond, caused by Polystigma amygdalinum, is an important foliar disease in most production regions of the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East because severe infections ... -
Spatial distribution of flavor components and antioxidants in the flesh of ‘Conference’ pears and its relationship with postharvest pathogens susceptibility
(Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2019-09-13)The spatial distribution of dry matter, ethylene production, respiration rate, organic acids, sugars, antioxidants, volatiles and fungal (Penicillium expansum and Rhizopus stolonifer) growth was evaluated ... -
Development and biomass composition of Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), and Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) reared on different byproducts of the agri-food industry
