Gut microbiota analyses for sustainable European local porcine breeds: a TREASURE pilot study
, 2018 The study of gut microbiota and its effects on hosts has emerged as an essential component of host homeostasisand global efficiency. Besides host’s influence on gut microbiota, major quantitative and qualitative changes mayoccur in the composition of the

Genetic diversity in some local chicken breeds using microsatellite markers
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 Genetic relationships among Veneto native breeds of chickens were studied on the basis of microsatellites polymorphisms. A total of 100 DNA samples from 2 local chicken breeds (45 Robusta Lionata and 43 Robusta Maculata) and a commercial broiler line (12

Dog Breed Classification Using Part Localization [PDF]
, 2012 We propose a novel approach to fine-grained image classification in which instances from different classes share common parts but have wide variation in shape and appearance. We use dog breed identification as a test case to show that extracting corresponding parts improves classification performance.

Presence of keel bone damage in laying hens, pullets and roosters of local chicken breeds.
PLoS ONEIn commercial laying hens, keel bone damage (KBD) is a severe health and welfare problem leading to pain, reduced mobility and decreased laying performance. Flocks of all production systems and hybrid lines can be affected.
