Effect of Hopper Loading on the Formation of Alkyl Alcohols in Olive Fruits and Its Relationship with Sensory Quality Losses of Virgin Olive Oil
(Foods, 2023-07-07)The storage of olives in large hoppers is a widespread practice in oil mills, but these large volumes and their unloading can cause a physical deterioration of the olives that will affect the quality of ... -
Effect of different fertilization strategies on nitrogen balance in an outdoor potted crop of Osteospermum ecklonis (DC.) Norl. ‘Purple Red’ under Mediterranean climate conditions
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2013-07-15)Fertilization management and meteorological conditions can affect leachate composition and the balance of nitrogen (N) added during the cultivation of ornamentals. The main objectives of this study ... -
Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Dietary-Induced Pseudo-Albinism during Post-Embryonic Development of Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858)
(PLoS ONE, 2013-07-16)The appearance of the pseudo-albino phenotype was investigated in developing Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis, Kaup 1858) larvae at morphological and molecular levels. In order to induce the development ... -
Effects of Organic Farming on the Physicochemical, Functional, and Quality Properties of Pomegranate Fruit: A Review
(Agriculture, 2023-05-31)In this review, a selection of studies was carried out that evaluated the influence of organic agronomic practices on the cultivation of pomegranate; specifically, the influence of these practices ... -
Assessing the role of sow parity on PRRSv detection by RT-qPCR through weekly processing fluids monitoring in breeding herds
(Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2023-01-23)The use of processing fluids to monitor the breeding herd's porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) status has gained industry acceptance. However, little is known about PRRS virus RT-qPCR ... -
Diverse Populations of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius Colonize the Skin of Healthy Dogs
(Microbiology Spectrum, 2023-02-14)Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a commensal bacterium of the canine skin but is also a key opportunistic pathogen that is responsible for most cases of pyoderma in dogs. The current paradigm indicates ... -
Prediction of fatty acid composition in intact and minced fat of European autochthonous pigs breeds by near infrared spectroscopy
(Scientific Reports, 2023-05-15)The fatty acids profile has been playing a decisive role in recent years, thanks to technological, sensory and health demands from producers and consumers. The application of NIRS technique on fat ... -
Impact of multi-output and stacking methods on feed efficiency prediction from genotype using machine learning algorithms
(Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2023-07-05)Feeding represents the largest economic cost in meat production; therefore, selection to improve traits related to feed efficiency is a goal in most livestock breeding programs. Residual feed intake ... -
