Dietary energy and protein levels on lactation performance and progeny growth of Hu sheep

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2022
This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of dietary energy or protein levels on lactation performance and progeny growth of Hu sheep. Thirty early lactation ewes with twin litters were assigned into five treatments (E1, E2 = P2, E3, P1, P3; n = 6)

Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiota Diversity Across Different Digestive Tract Sites in Ningxiang Pigs

Animals
Background: Microbial communities in the gastrointestinal tract play a critical role in nutrient absorption, metabolism, and overall health of animals. Understanding the structure and function of tissue-specific microbial communities in Ningxiang pigs is

Effects of Dietary Calcium and Phosphorus Levels on Growth Performance, Calcium–Phosphorus Homeostasis, and Gut Microbiota in Ningxiang Pigs

Life
Optimal dietary calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) requirements remain undetermined for Ningxiang pigs, a valuable indigenous Chinese breed. This study conducted a continuous feeding trial with two growth phases (grower: 30–50 kg; finisher: 50–80 kg) using ...

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Combination of anti-TNFα therapy and surgical resection for severe chronic intestinal rejection: A case report

Intestinal Failure
Background: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a well-recognised cause of graft failure in intestinal transplant (ITx) recipients. Management of ACR is with intravenous (IV) steroids, increased immunosuppression and T-cell depleting therapies.

An Adaptive Management Model for Brown Bears in Hokkaido: Based on Total Population and the Number of Nuisance Bears

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Bear management changes management actions according to the horizontal axis of the population size and the vertical axis of the number of nuisance bears. Aiming for the target population size of Ntar, Actions I and II protect the bears, and Action IV reduces the population.

Isolation and Mechanistic Investigation of the Efficient Zearalenone-Removing Strain Bacillus licheniformis YJ25

Toxins
Zearalenone (ZEN), a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium graminearum species, poses a significant threat to both human food safety and animal feed quality. In this study, we isolated a strain, designated as Bacillus licheniformis YJ25,

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...
