Mixed management in growing and finishing pigs: impacts on social behavior and judgment bias
Intensive pig production practices may shape cognition and behavior. We evaluated whether repeated regrouping (mixing) and gender (gilts vs. barrows) affect social interactions, fear-related responses, and affective state. ...
Automated pixel-based quantification of porcine circovirus 2 genome in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues using in situ hybridisation
Introduction: Detection of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) in lymphoid tissues is essential for diagnostic and research purposes. In situ hybridisation (ISH) enables the localisation of viral genomes in tissue sections but is ...
Ectomycorrhizal fungi and root water uptake respond independently to water availability
Temperate forests on their warm and dry distribution limits are expected to be most vulnerable to reductions in water availability. This prediction is mostly based on studies assessing single forest functions, mainly growth. ...
Protection Against Transplacental Transmission of a Highly Virulent Classical Swine Fever Virus Two Weeks After Single-Dose FlagT4G Vaccination in Pregnant Sows
Background/Objectives: Classical swine fever (CSF) continues to challenge global eradication efforts, particularly in endemic regions, where pregnant sows face heightened risks of vertical transmission following exposure ...
Transforming hyperspectral images into chemical maps: a novel End‐to‐End Deep Learning approach
Current approaches to chemical map generation from hyperspectral images are based on models such as partial least squares (PLS) regression, generating pixel-wise predictions that do not consider spatial context and suffer ...
Bacillus spp. supplementation promotes feed efficiency and alters metabolic responses of preweaning Angus × Holstein calves
This experiment evaluated the effects of feeding a Bacillus-based direct-fed microbial (DFM) on the growth rates and metabolic responses of Angus × Holstein crossbred calves. After a 1-wk adaptation period, 80 calves were ...
West Nile virus transmission in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (Spain): A One-Health surveillance approach
West Nile virus (WNV), mainly transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, poses significant health risks to humans and horses, particularly in endemic regions. The first detection of WNV lineage 2 in Spain was in 2017 in Catalonia ...
Production of biogenic amines and changes in the microbiome composition of dry-cured fish during dynamic storage up to the end of the shelf life
The aim of this study was to quantify and identify biogenic amines in vacuum packed dry-cured salmon, swordfish and tuna, stored under dynamic abuse temperature conditions during their shelf life. The same samples were ...
Silage of the By-Products of Mollar de Elche and Wonderful Pomegranate Varieties Preserves Nutritional Value and Antioxidant Activity of Ruminant Feed
The valorization of agro-industrial by-products for their use in animal feed leads to a reduction in inputs, creating the opportunity to optimize the sustainability of the agri-food chain, a priority of the SDG 2030 strategy; ...
In vitro metabolic interaction network of a rationally designed nasal microbiota community
Mounting evidence suggests that metabolite exchange between microbiota members is a key driver of microbiota composition. However, we still know little about the metabolic interaction networks within many microbiota. To ...
Common husbandry systems and practices for keeping beef cattle
This Technical report, prepared at the request of the European Commission, describes common husbandry systems and practices for keeping beef cattle in the EU. It complements the EFSA Scientific opinion on the welfare of ...
Influenza a Virus Inhibition: Evaluating Computationally Identified Cyproheptadine Through In Vitro Assessment
Influenza is still a chronic global health threat, inducing a sustained search for effective antiviral therapeutics. Computational methods have played a pivotal role in developing small molecule therapeutics. In this study, ...
Honeydew Is a Food Source and a Contact Kairomone for Aphelinus mali
Many parasitoids need to feed on sugar sources at the adult stage. Although nectar has been proven to be a source of higher nutritional quality compared to honeydew excreted by phloem feeders, the latter can provide the ...
Nutritional properties of organic and conventional beef meat at retail
BACKGROUND: Consumers perceive that organic meat has superior nutritional properties compared to conventional meat,although the available evidence from commercial samples is very scarce. The present study compared the ...
Trends in recombinant protein use in animal production
Recombinant technologies have made possible the production of a broad catalogue of proteins of interest, including those used for animal production. The most widely studied proteins for the animal sector are those with an ...
A comprehensive genome variation map of melon identifies multiple domestication events and loci influencing agronomic traits
Melon is an economically important fruit crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years; however, the genetic basis and history of its domestication still remain largely unknown. Here we report a comprehensive map ...
Development of a Fully Protective Pandemic Avian Influenza Subunit Vaccine in Insect Pupae
In this study, we pioneered an alternative technology for manufacturing subunit influenza hemagglutinin (HA)-based vaccines. This innovative method involves harnessing the pupae of the Lepidoptera Trichoplusia ni (T. ni) ...
Insight into a Successful Development of Biocontrol Agents: Production, Formulation, Packaging, and Shelf Life as Key Aspects
Biocontrol agents (BCAs) have been proposed and studied over recent decades as a suita‐ ble alternative to diminish or substitute synthetic fungicides used to control pre‐ and postharvest diseases. However, the development ...
Temperature affects growth allometry and development patterns in brown trout (Salmo trutta) fry: a multitrait approach
To study the influence of temperature (4, 6, and 12 °C) on the development of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from hatching to the end of metamorphosis, an analysis of allometric growth patterns was conducted to identify two ...
Clearance and persistence of Escherichia coli in the freshwater mussel Unio mancus
The excessive use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of resistant bacteria, mainly from the Enterobacterales group, with high pathogenic/zoonotic potentials that can lead to problems in public health. The increasing ...
