Risk and protective factors for ASF in domestic pigs and wild boar in the EU, and mitigation measures for managing the disease in wild boar

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Five epidemiological aspects of ASF were evaluated using literature reviews, field studies, questionnaires and mathematical models. First, a literature review and a case–control study in commercial pig farms emphasised the importance of biosecurity and farming practices, including the spread of manure around farms and the use of bedding ...

Immunocastration of Farm Animals

, 2005
In the farm animal species, the control of fertility and of sexual and aggressive behaviour are important factors of productivity. Traditionally, they have been reduced by surgical approaches. But, castration becomes unacceptable generating stress and decreasing animal efficiency and carcass quality.

Extending the interval between second vaccination and slaughter: I. Effects on growth, scrotal size and stress responses of immunocastrated ram lambs

Animal, 2019
Immunocastration provides a less invasive means of castrating lambs. Considering increasing consumer awareness, the efficacy of this technique on commercial slaughter lambs needs to be further investigated and its effects on growth and stress responses ...

A career in numbers: A citation network analysis of the work of RP Millar and his contribution to GnRH research

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 36, Issue 10, October 2024.
Here, we use citation network analysis in a novel manner to identify the particular topics to which RP Millar's papers have made a particular contribution. This analysis shows that it makes no sense to conceive of the citation impact of an author in isolation; it depends on the existence of a receptive community that is alert to the potential utility ...

Consumer animal welfare and healthy perception of fresh sausages’ fiber fat replaced and elaborated with meat from non‐castrated male pigs

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 9, Page 6720-6734, September 2024.
Entire male pork sausages reduced in fat and with vegetable fiber are positively perceived by consumers. Reduced‐fat entire male pork sausages with vegetable fiber can be an option for marketing this meat. Consumers consider castration to be justified if it improves the sensory perception of entire male pork.

Extending the interval between second vaccination and slaughter: II. Changes in the reproductive capacity of immunocastrated ram lambs

Animal, 2019
Immunocastration improves the welfare of castrated commercial slaughter lambs; however, the time-point at which this technique influences semen quality and sperm production has not yet been established for various vaccination schedules.

Protein turnover in pigs: A review of interacting factors

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 108, Issue 2, Page 451-469, March 2024.
Abstract Protein turnover defines the balance between two continuous and complex processes of protein metabolism, synthesis and degradation, which determine their deposition in tissues. Although the liver and intestine have been studied extensively for their important roles in protein digestion, absorption and metabolism, the study of protein ...

Impact of gilt immunocastration on weight losses and instrumental and chemical characteristics of Teruel dry-cured ham [PDF]

, 2023
A total of 32 fresh hams intended for the Spanish Protected Designation of Origin “Teruel ham” were used to evaluate the impact of gilt immunocastration (vs. entire gilts) on weight losses during the dry-curing process.
