Immunocastration and its effects on carcass and meat traits of male pigs

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2018
To compose the experiment, 160 male Topgen pigs - 80 surgically castrated (treatment 1) and 80 immunocastrated (treatment 2) - were randomly selected from a commercial swine farm at the moment of slaughter.

Impact of Gestational and Lactational Live Yeast Supplementation to Sows on Litter Performance, Colostrum and Milk Proteome Profiles

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Maternal dietary live yeast supplementation during late gestation and lactation increased the abundance of immune‐associated proteins in colostrum and proteins involved in lipid uptake and processing in mature milk. ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of dietary live yeast (LY) supplementation to sows during late gestation and lactation on sow

Exploring Two Different Feeding Strategies During Dry Period With Regard to Dry Matter Intake, Intermediary Metabolism and Certain Health Aspects of Dairy Cows in Germany

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 1073-1090, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Dry cow feeding plays an essential role in dairy production. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate two different dry cow feeding strategies regarding dry matter intake (DMI), metabolism and health aspects of dairy cows in the first 50 days after calving.

Genomic prediction using models with dominance and imprinting effects for backfat thickness and average daily gain in Danish Duroc pigs

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2016
BackgroundDominance and imprinting genetic effects have been shown to contribute to genetic variance for certain traits but are usually ignored in genomic prediction of complex traits in livestock.

Extracellular Vesicles From Limosilactobacillus johnsonii Enhance Milk Fat Synthesis by Inducing CD36 Dynamic Palmitoylation and Activating PPARγ Signalling

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2025.
Extracellular vesicles from Limosilactobacillus johnsonii reach the mammary gland through the gut‐mammary axis, where their palmitic acid (C16:0) induce the dynamic changes in CD36 palmitoylation in mammary epithelial cells, thereby facilitating fatty acid uptake as substrates and enhance milk fat synthesis in HC11 cells via PPARγ signalling.

Eating Quality of Ribeye Steaks From Young Bulls and Steers Is Comparable: A Study Examining the Effect of Sex, Frame Size, and Feed Time on Palatability Attributes

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Palatability of ribeye steaks from young bulls and steers of 15 months age were comparable. Tenderness, juiciness, and beef flavor scores were similar with small‐framed animals being rated the highest scores. ABSTRACT The eating quality of older bull beef in the United States has been considered inferior due to its tough texture, undesirable flavor ...

Dietary supplementation of delta-aminolevulinic acid to lactating sows improves growth performance and concentration of iron and hemoglobin of suckling piglets

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016
To confirm whether dietary supplementation of delta-aminolevulinic acid (δ-ALA) to lactating sow improves iron concentration of suckling piglets, 24 gestating sows [(Yorkshire × Landrace), before 14–day of farrowing] and their litters were evaluated on ...
