Nano zerovalent iron boosts methane content in biogas and reshapes microbial communities in long-term anaerobic digestion of pig slurry
(Renewable Energy, 2024-12-09)Adding nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) to the anaerobic digestion (AD) process for livestock manure has been shown to significantly enhance methane content by influencing microbial communities and ... -
Time to consider ruling out inclusion bodies denaturing protocols for spontaneous solubilization of biologically active proteins
(Scientific Reports, 2024-10-30)The formation of inclusion bodies (IBs) in microbial cell factories is a very common process occurring during recombinant protein production. Different protocols have been developed for the extraction ... -
Consumer acceptance and willingness to pay for olive oil with reduced pesticide use in the Euro-Mediterranean region: A reference-dependent contingent valuation approach
(Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2024-12-30)While discussions on plant protection product regulations continue within the EU, insights into consumer behaviour regarding the reduction of pesticide use in olive oil production remain limited. This ... -
Bovine fecal biomarkers of intestinal inflammatory process: Calprotectin and lactoferrin, a comparative study
(Research in Veterinary Science, 2024-12-05)Fecal lactoferrin and fecal calprotectin have been proposed as biomarkers of intestinal inflammation in several animal species. The main objectives of this work were to validate an analytical procedure ... -
The impact of herd age structure on the performance of commercial sow-breeding farms
(Porcine Health Management, 2024-11-23)Background The herd age structure, i.e., distribution of sows within a farm based on their parity number, and its management are essential to optimizing farm reproductive efficiency. The objective of ... -
Ecological restoration of field margins enhances biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services in rice agroecosystems
(Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 2025-01-21)Ecological restoration of non-productive agricultural areas such as field margins has been identified as a key priority to enhance biodiversity and promote multiple ecosystem services within agroecosystems. ... -
Modelling future climate change impacts on grapevine water requirements and growing cycle in three wine PDOs of NE Spain
(OENO One, 2024-11-29)Climate change is expected to heavily impact agriculture in the Mediterranean region due to higher temperatures and droughts. Within the agricultural systems, vineyards are one of the most affected by ... -
Untargeted urine metabolomics suggests that ascorbic acid may serve as a promising biomarker for reduced feed intake in rabbits
(Scientific Reports, 2024-11-25)Feed restriction is a common nutritional practice in rabbit farming; however, decreased feed intake can also signal potential digestive disorders at an early stage. This study endeavors to investigate ... -
