Integrated Analysis Reveals Genetic Basis of Growth Curve Parameters in an F2 Designed Pig Population Based on Genome and Transcriptome Data
28/09/2024 - Appropriate growth curves can reflect more sophisticated growth patterns of animals than body weight, and thus, the identification of genes and variants related to the growth curve parameter traits...
Development of a Method for the Determination of Rifaximin and Rifampicin Residues in Foods of Animal Origin
27/09/2024 - Rifaximin and rifampicin are good broad-spectrum antimicrobials. The irrational use of antimicrobial drugs in veterinary clinics could threaten public health and food safety. It is necessary to...
Cryo-EM structure of DNA polymerase of African swine fever virus
27/08/2024 - African swine fever virus (ASFV) is one of the most important causative agents of animal diseases and can cause highly fatal diseases in swine. ASFV DNA polymerase (DNAPol) is responsible for genome...
Effect of Organic Fertilizer Application on Microbial Community Regulation and Pollutant Accumulation in Typical Red Soil in South China
21/09/2024 - Returning livestock manure to the cropland as organic fertilizer is a sustainable and environmentally friendly treatment method, but its application also alters the soil microenvironment. However,...
Characteristics of a Spray-Dried Porcine Blood Meal for Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes
19/09/2024 - Research into mosquito-borne illnesses faces hurdles because feeding fresh animal blood to rear female mosquitoes presents logistical, economic, and safety challenges. In this study, a shelf-stable...
Seasonal Abundance and Diversity of Culicoides Biting Midges in Livestock Sheds in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand
14/09/2024 - Culicoides biting midges were collected using UV light traps from nine livestock farms in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. Collections were made one night per month from June 2020 to May 2021 to...
Chlorogenic Acid Enhances the Intestinal Health of Weaned Piglets by Inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB Pathway and Activating the Nrf2 Pathway
15/09/2024 - Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a natural polyphenol with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the exact role of it in regulating intestinal health under oxidative stress is not...
PSLBII-16 Assessing endotoxin or Escherichia coli vaccine administration during gestation as a means to alter postnatal immune function in pigs
14/09/2024 - Previous research demonstrated that low-dose endotoxin (LPS) administered during gestation can attenuate the postnatal response to LPS in weaned piglets. The follow-up study was designed to determine...
PSLBII-23 Effects of alternative production systems on growth and circulating blood profiles in Berkshire grower pigs
14/09/2024 - In this study, we compared the growth performance and circulating blood profiles of Berkshire grower pigs maintained in two different alternative swine production systems, the dry-lot production...
PSI-25 Improvements in the jejunal villus morphometry and increases in the number of goblet cells with the addition of humic substances from vermicompost in weaned pigs
14/09/2024 - An experiment was carried out with the objective of evaluating the effects of the addition of humic substances (HS) from vermicompost in the feed on the histology measurements and number of goblet...
PSI-30 Effects of high canola meal diet with acidifiers supplementation on cecal microbiota of nursery pigs
14/09/2024 - Inclusion of canola meal (CM) in swine diets is typically limited stemming from the presence of glucosinolates (Gls), which can reduce growth performance and cause thyroid dysfunction in nursery...
PSI-29 Enhancing growth performance and reducing environmental impact with dietary protease supplementation in growing pigs fed high- and low-density diets
14/09/2024 - Exogenous protease has emerged as a promising solution for enhancing protein digestion and utilization in animal diets, offering potential benefits for both animal performance and environmental...
PSI-27 Dietary supplementation of betaine and an antioxidant blend improved feed efficiency in commercially housed fattening pigs under heat stress conditions
14/09/2024 - Heat stress decreases pig productivity and welfare by reducing feed intake and growth, increasing oxidative stress, and compromising gut health. Feed additives with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant...
PSII-22 Effects of protease supplementation on ileal digestibility of amino acids in pulse grains fed to growing pigs
14/09/2024 - Pulse grains, such as chickpeas, faba beans, and lentils are non-oil seed legume crops and good sources of starch and protein as alternative feed ingredients to cereal grains or soybean meal. This...
PSII-26 Effects of diquat injection on growth performance and blood and liver redox status in growing pigs
14/09/2024 - Oxidative stress, caused by excessive reactive oxygen species generation, impairs health and production performance of pigs. A number of nutrients and feed additives have antioxidative property. Our...
