(Scientia Marina, 2009-12-01)the post-larval development of the majid crab Maja brachydactyla Balss, 1922 was studied using laboratoryreared larvae obtained from adult individuals collected in the ne atlantic. the morphology of the ... -
Dietary Polyunsaturated Fat Reduces Skin Fat as Well as Abdominal Fat in Broiler Chickens
(Poultry Science, 2008-03-01)The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different dietary fatty acid profiles on the main fat depots of broiler chickens: skin including s.c. fat (SK) and abdominal fat pad (AF). One ... -
Impact of bioactive substances on the gastrointestinal tract and performance of weaned piglets: a review
(Animal, 2009-02-10)The EU ban on in-feed antibiotics has stimulated research on weaning diets as a way of reducing post-weaning gut disorders and growth check in pigs. Many bioactive components have been investigated but ... -
Is Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae) a blooming threat to citrus?
(Journal of Economic Entomology, 2024-09-11)Examining the host range of emerging invasive insects is essential to assess their invasion potential and to anticipate the negative impacts of their spread. The ongoing North American invasion of spotted ... -
Screening culture filtrates of fungi for activity against Tylenchulus semipenetrans
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2009-12-01)Culture filtrates of 20 fungi isolated from citrus soils were screened for their activity against Tylenchulus semipenetrans in both in vitro and greenhouse tests. The filtrates of Talaromyces cyanescens ... -
