(Scientia Agricola, 2016-09)In this study, eight different manure treatment plants were monitored. The plants were four on-farm and four centralized treatment plants, all of them at full-scale level. Assessment includes a total ... -
Imaging technologies to study the composition of live pigs: a review
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2016-08-31)Image techniques are increasingly being applied to livestock animals. This paper overviews recent advances in image processing analysis for live pigs, including ultrasound, visual image analysis by ... -
Research Note: Persistent Salmonella problems in slaughterhouses related to clones linked to poultry companies
(Poultry Science, 2022-05-21)Salmonellosis remains one of the main foodborne zoonoses in Europe, with poultry products as the main source of human infections. The slaughterhouse has been identified as a potential source for Salmonella ... -
MAGGnet: An international network to foster mitigation of agricultural greenhouse gases
(Carbon Management, 2016-05-31)Research networks provide a framework for review, synthesis and systematic testing of theories by multiple scientists across international borders critical for addressing global-scale issues. In 2012, ... -
Genetic Structure of Modern Durum Wheat Cultivars and Mediterranean Landraces Matches with Their Agronomic Performance
(PLoS ONE, 2016-08-11)A collection of 172 durum wheat landraces from 21 Mediterranean countries and 20 modern cultivars were phenotyped in 6 environments for 14 traits including phenology, biomass, yield and yield omponents. ... -
Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Scientific Reports, 2016-08-18)The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ... -
Changes in durum wheat root and aerial biomass caused by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation
(Plant and Soil, 2016-01-27)Aims This study aimed to quantify the changes in root and aerial biomass of durum wheat brought about by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation. Methods A ... -
Ecodesign of new circular economy scheme for Brewer's side streams
(Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy, 2022-05-25)When designing a new circular economy system, many aspects must be considered in order to benefit from all possible environmental improvements. The selection of the right market or use of the resulting ... -
Crossbreeding effects on rabbit reproduction from four maternal lines of rabbits
(Animal, 2016-01-07)Litter size is essential for an efficient production of rabbit meat. A diallel cross between four maternal lines was carried out and the analysis of the components of litter size has been already done. ... -
Multi‑breed and multi‑trait co‑association analysis of meat tenderness and other meat quality traits in three French beef cattle breeds
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2016-04-23)Background: Studies to identify markers associated with beef tenderness have focused on Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) but the interplay between the genes associated with WBSF has not been explored. ... -
