Època de sembra de la fava en funció de la zona productora per optimitzar el rendiment i la qualitat del cultiu
Amb els assajos realitzats la campanya 2024-25 al litoral de Girona i als regadius de Lleida s’ha observat una menor durada de la floració a mesura que s’ha retardat la data de sembra. Els resultats també suggereixen una ...
Registro de datos y uso de herramientas de datos para la gestión de la salud porcina
Introducción: Las estrategias basadas en datos podrían combatir la propagación de enfermedades infecciosas porcinas y mejorar la detección temprana de posibles problemas de salud porcina. El presente estudio tuvo como ...
Biodiversity and spatial distribution of potentially ciguatera-causing dinoflagellates using DNA metabarcoding
Ciguatera poisoning (CP) is a foodborne disease caused by eating seafood containing ciguatoxins from benthic dinoflagellates of the genus Gambierdiscus. Moreover, the related Fukuyoa, which often coexists with Gambierdiscus, ...
The effects of temperature changes on Totoaba macdonaldi larval development, growth, and respiratory rates
Understanding the effects of environmental temperature on marine fish larvae is crucial for optimizing feeding regimes and promoting optimal development and growth from a zootechnical perspective in aquaculture practices. ...
Long-Term Residual Infection as a Source of Bovine Tuberculosis Reemergence: A Phylogenetic and Epidemiological Investigation of Recurrent Outbreaks
Bovine tuberculosis (TB), primarily caused by Mycobacterium bovis, is a chronic infectious disease of cattle with significant public health and economic implications due to its zoonotic potential and impact on livestock ...
A palindromic sequence on chromosome 4 of peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) is flanking a large deletion related to a Slow Ripening Phenotype
Maturity date (MD) represents one of the main goals of the peach breeding programs worldwide with the aim to extend the harvest calendar. A major QTL linked to the trait was previously identified in peach and other stone ...
ResynPy: a software for selecting pairs of complementary inbred lines to resynthesize valuable heterozygous genotypes
Background Using cultivars based on a single, partly heterozygous, genotype is one of the bases of agriculture, frequently used in seed-propagated species such as vegetables and field crops (F1 hybrid varieties), and in ...
Activity and behavior patterns of cattle, horses, and sheep grazing in mountainous areas using geolocation collars
The sustainability of extensive livestock systems is compromised. It is necessary to enhance our understanding of the activity and grazing behavior of different livestock species (cows, horses, and sheep) sharing the same ...
The impact of global change on the intraguild predation among three predatory mites of Tetranychus urticae in citrus orchards
The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is a key pest of clementine mandarin orchards in the Mediterranean basin. Efective biological control, vital for managing T. urticae populations, involves the phytoseiid ...
Dynamics of Reinfection by Neobenedenia sp. (Monogenea, Capsalidae) in Almaco Jack, Seriola rivoliana, Kept in a Cultivation System
Fish susceptibility to parasitic infection is a crucial issue in aquaculture, where the density of captive fish increases the intensity of parasitic infections. Monogeneans are a group of parasitic flatworms that include ...
Innovative vs. classical methods for drying heterotrophic Chlorella vulgaris: Impact on the nutritional properties, safety, sustainability and costs
The microalgae Chlorella vulgaris is an interesting emerging food source, but to compete with other alternative protein sources, production costs must be reduced. The drying process plays a critical role in production as ...
Plant Domestication Alters the Nutritional Content of Guttation Droplets with Multi-Trophic Consequences
Domestication often alters plant traits, leading to cascading effects on ecological interactions, particularly in tri-trophic relationships among plants, herbivores, and their natural enemies. While recent studies have ...
Proteomic characterisation and digestibility score of milk powders obtained through pulse spray drying and traditional spray drying
Powdered milk is a food ingredient valued for its long-term shelf life and space-saving qualities. However, the process of concentrating and drying milk, usually through spray drying, can lead to chemical modifications in ...
“Real Meat, Real Care” – 71st International Congress of Meat Science and Technology (ICoMST), August 2025, Girona, Catalonia, Spain
The International Congress of Meat Science and Technology (ICoMST) is the leading international congress in the field of Meat Science and Technology, held annually. In 2025, the 71st Edition of the Congress was held in ...
Unveiling novel QTLs for nitrogen use efficiency in temperate Japonica rice
Background Nitrogen (N) is essential for rice growth and has driven yield increases since the 1950s. However, excessive use of mineral N fertilizers has led to considerable environmental and economic concerns. Enhancing ...
Resultats de les noves varietats de sègol híbrid
El nou material de sègol híbrid s’ha assajat a la zona dels secans frescals ubicada a la comarca d’Osona. En tres anys d’assaigs la varietat KWS TEODOR és la que ha mostrat els rendiments més elevats. La major sensibilitat ...
Resultats de les noves varietats de pèsol proteaginós d'hivern
Entre els pèsols d’hivern assajats cal destacar el bon comportament productiu que han mostrat FURIOUS i FRESNEL. Les varietats PADDLE i FURIOUS són els que ha mostrat una data d’inici de floració més precoç. Els majors ...
