Sow and piglet traits associated with piglet survival at birth and to weaning
Journal of Animal Science, 2020 AbstractAbstractUnderstanding the relationship between sow and piglet characteristics that are associated with stillborn rate and preweaning mortality is beneficial as litter size continues to increase. Two experiments were previously conducted to evaluate prefarrowing nutrition regimens on sow and litter characteristics.

Analysis of Reproductive Parameters in Sows with Regard to Their Health Status
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2016 The aim of the study was to evaluate selected reproductive parameters in sows. Observed parameters were analysed in two herds with different health status. The experiment involved 160 hybrid sows from the 1st to the 5th litter (80 sows with health status

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

Effect of Lactation Environment on Behaviour of Suckling Piglets
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015 To investigate the effect of the pen on the welfare of suckling piglets by comparing the behaviours of piglets in either crates or straw enriched pens, sixteen litter piglets in crates or straw enriched pens were used in the present experiment.

Alloxan Diabetes in the Piglet [PDF]
Nature, 1957 LUKENS1 depancreatized young pigs, and found that the diabetic state which followed was characterized by a slight or absent fasting glucose-excretion, and a low fasting nitrogen-excretion. Ketonuria was marked, but was not accompanied by severe acidosis.

Early transcriptional response in the jejunum of germ-free piglets after oral infection with virulent rotavirus [PDF]
, 2008 Germ-free piglets were orally infected with virulent rotavirus to collect jejunal mucosal scrapings at 12 and 18 hours post infection (two piglets per time point).

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.
