Paylean® improves feed conversion efficiency of entire and immunocastrated male pigs

open access: yes, 2005
Paylean® (ractopamine) is an in-feed β-agonist that increases the rate of protein deposition in pigs. It is absorbed into the blood stream and binds to specific beta receptors on the cell membrane of muscles where its primary response is to increase the ...

String Figuring young children's perspectives of quality in English early childhood education and care

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

PRODUCTION OF MEAT FROM ENTIRE MALE PIGS

open access: yes, 2014
Proizvodnja nekastriranih u odnosu na kastrirane nerastove je unosnija i profitabilnija, jer nekastrirani nerastovi očituju bolja svojstva kvalitete mesa s većim udjelom mišićnog tkiva i većim sadržajem proteina u odnosu na kastrate.

Microbial Hydrolysates as Amino Acid Source in Cell Culture Media for Cellular Agriculture

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The high cost of cultivation media remains one of the barriers to the commercialization of cultivated meat. Current serum‐free media reduce reliance on fetal bovine serum but only achieve modest cost savings. Especially at larger scales (> 20 m3), pharmaceutical‐grade amino acids and recombinant proteins remain major cost drivers.
