(Agronomy, 2020-12-24)Cucurbit viruses cause considerable economic losses worldwide. The most common viral diseases affecting this crop family are Potyviruses, Cucumoviruses, Criniviruses, Ipomoviruses, Tobamoviruses, and ... -
Kisspeptin influences the reproductive axis and circulating levels of microRNAs in Senegalese sole
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020-11-28)Kisspeptin regulates puberty and reproduction onset, acting upstream of the brain–pituitary–gonad (HPG) axis. This study aimed to test a kisspeptin-based hormonal therapy on cultured Senegalese sole ... -
Physiological effects of water flow induced swimming exercise in seabream Sparus aurata
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2020-12-07)A longer on-land rearing period of Gilthead seabream Sparus aurata before transfer to sea-cages would allow the farmer to benefit from exercise-enhanced growth, resilience, and robustness as induced by ... -
From biosecurity to security ecologies: An analysis between old dairy farming traditions and routines and veterinary recommendations in Spain
(Sociologia Ruralis, 2020-12-28)Biosecurity has gained significant interest in farm animal health in recent years. However, in dairy cattle farms, there is slight, or no implementation of biosecurity practices recommended by official ... -
Utilization of grape seed oil as a dietary lipid source in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diets
(Journal of Applied Aquaculture, 2020-02-05)A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to determine the effects of different levels of grape seed oil (GO) on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, fillet proximate and fatty acid composition of ... -
The main drivers of methane emissions differ in the growing and flooded fallow seasons in Mediterranean rice fields
(Plant and Soil, 2021-01-09)Purpose To assess 1) the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions –GHG- and global warming potential (methane – CH4- and nitrous oxide) from rice fields in the growing and fallow seasons, and 2) the ... -
Factors driving the seasonal dynamics of Pseudo-nitzschia species and domoic acid at mussel farming in the SW Mediterranean Sea
(Chemistry and Ecology, 2019-10-17)The seasonal variations in Pseudo-nitzschia species and domoic acid (DA) concentration were investigated, at three shellfish farms in SW coastal Mediterranean. In parallel, the toxicity of mussels was ... -
Combining an effect-based methodology with chemical analysis for antibiotics determination in wastewater and receiving freshwater and marine environment
(Environmental Pollution, 2020-12-15)Two different methodologies were combined to evaluate the risks that antibiotics can pose in the environment; i) an effect-based methodology based on microbial growth inhibition and ii) an analytical ... -
Feed additives for the control of post-weaning Streptococcus suis disease and the effect on the faecal and nasal microbiota
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020-11-23)Medicated feed is a common strategy to control the occurrence of Streptococcus suis disease in swine production, but feed additives may constitute an alternative to metaphylaxis. In a farm with post-weaning ... -
Hazelnut production and prospects in Spain
(International Journal of Anatolia Agricultural Engineering - Uluslararası Anadolu Ziraat Mühendisliği Bilimleri Dergisi, 2019-12-25)For many years, Spain was the fourth largest hazelnut producer worldwide, after Turkey, Italy and the USA.
