Animal, 2019 Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are highly susceptible to lipid oxidation because DDGS contain about 10% crude fat, which is largely composed of polyunsaturated fatty acids. l-carnitine serves an important function in fatty acids β-oxidation,

The Effects of Weather on Avian Growth and Implications for Adaptation to Climate Change
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Climate change is forecasted to generate a range of evolutionary changes and plastic responses. One important aspect of avian responses to climate change is how weather conditions may change nestling growth and development. Early life growth is sensitive

Animals, 2021 We aimed to investigate the effects of maternal protein restriction during mid-gestation on the skeletal muscle composition of the offspring. In the restriction treatment (RES, n = 9), cows were fed a basal diet, while in the control (CON, n = 9) group ...

Yolk vitamin E prevents oxidative damage in gull hatchlings [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Oxidative stress experienced during early development can negatively affect diverse life-history traits, and organisms have evolved complex defence systems against its detrimental effects.

Selection, maternal effects and inbreeding in reindeer husbandry [PDF]
, 2003 In extensive grazing systems where several owners’ flocks are allowed to mix, selection strategies will also interact, due to gene flow between flocks. The aim of the thesis was to analyse breeding schemes in terms of genetic gain and rate of inbreeding (

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Invasive species commonly predate the offspring of native species and eggs are the life stage most vulnerable to this predation. In many species with no maternal care, females can alter the phenotype of eggs to protect them, for instance through chemical

Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Natal dispersal outcomes are an interplay between environmental conditions and individual phenotypes. Peripheral, isolated populations may experience altered environmental conditions and natal dispersal patterns that differ from populations in contiguous

Breeding schemes in reindeer husbandry
Rangifer, 2003 The objective of the paper was to investigate annual genetic gain from selection (G), and the influence of selection on the inbreeding effective population size (Ne), for different possible breeding schemes within a reindeer herding district.

Maternal environment shapes the life history and susceptibility to malaria of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: It is becoming generally recognized that an individual's phenotype can be shaped not only by its own genotype and environmental experience, but also by its mother's environment and condition.
