Consumer evaluation of meat quality from barrows, immunocastrates and boars in six countries
(Animal, 2022-02-16)The practice of surgical castration of piglets and its alternatives is still under debate. Production of boars may impair meat quality due to boar taint and reduced tenderness compared to meat from ... -
GreenTray® TIS bioreactor as an effective in vitro culture system for the micropropagation of Prunus spp. rootstocks and analysis of the plant-PGPMs interactions
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2021-09-23)The use of the GreenTray® TIS bioreactor for the in vitro analysis of the interaction between plantlets and two Plant Growth-Promoting Microorganisms (PGPMs) (Pseudomonas oryzihabitans PGP01 and ... -
Current situation, trends and challenges for efficient and sustainable peach production
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2022-01-22)In Spain, the total surface occupied by deciduous fruit species in 2019 was 190,414 ha. Peach is the second most important Prunus species with 77,464 ha and a production of 1,480,000 t per year. Labour ... -
Short communication: A milk replacer aversion model in calves to test flavour-masking effects
(Livestock Science, 2022-01-18)This study aimed to evaluate the availability of two sensory additives (SAs) to masque non-palatable ingredients commonly present in milk replacers (MRs). Both SAs were based on a synergistic mixture ... -
Consumers’ Expectations about Meat from Surgical Castrated or Immunocastrated Male and Female Iberian Pigs
(Animals, 2022-02-14)A common practice in Iberian pigs is the castration of both males and females, and it can be carried out surgically or by immunization against gonadotropin-releasing factor (GnRF). The aim of this ... -
A Co-Association Network Analysis Reveals Putative Regulators for Health-Related Traits in Pigs
(Frontiers in Immunology, 2021-11-26)In recent years, the increase in awareness of antimicrobial resistance together with the societal demand of healthier meat products have driven attention to health-related traits in livestock production. ... -
ROS-scavenging-associated transcriptional and biochemical shifts during nectarine fruit development and ripening
(Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2021-12-24)ROS are known as toxic by-products but also as important signaling molecules playing a key role in fruit development and ripening. To counteract the negative effects of ROS, plants and fruit own multiple ... -
Enhanced high hydrostatic pressure lethality in acidulated raw pet food formulations was pathogen species and strain dependent
(Food Microbiology, 2022-02-07)Feeding dogs and cats with raw meat-based pet food is taking relevance in the recent years. The high aw of these products together with the no cooking before its consumption by the animal pose a risk ... -
