Weak General but No Specific Habituation in Anticipating Stimuli of Presumed Negative and Positive Valence by Weaned Piglets

open access: yesAnimals, 2018
Positive and negative stimuli have asymmetric fitness consequences. Whereas, a missed opportunity may be compensated, an unattended threat can be fatal.

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy due to Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in PIGM

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective PIGM encodes a critical enzyme in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchor biosynthesis pathway. While promoter‐region mutations in PIGM have been associated with a relatively mild phenotype characterized by portal vein thrombosis and absence seizures, recent evidence suggests that coding‐region mutations result in a more severe

Molecular detection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, porcine circovirus 2 and hepatitis E virus in oral fluid compared to their detection in faeces and serum

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV), Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) and Hepatitis E virus (HEV) are common and economically important viral disease causative agents detected in pig oral fluid (OF), faeces and serum at

Basque Pig

open access: yes, 2019
Local pig breeds are adapted to the specific local environment and fed with various locally available feedstuffs. Besides their genetic merit for agro-biodiversity, they represent the basis for sustainable local pork chains. The present chapter aims to present history and current status of the Basque pig breed, its exterior phenotypic characteristics ...

Genome‐wide association study and genomic prediction for intramuscular fat content in Suhuai pigs using imputed whole‐genome sequencing data

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2022
Integrating the single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly affecting target traits from imputed whole‐genome sequencing (iWGS) data into the genomic prediction (GP) model is an economic, efficient, and feasible strategy to improve prediction ...

The karyotype of the pig

open access: yesHereditas, 2009
The karyotype of the pig (Sus scrofa domestica) is studied and characterized after applying G-band and C-band staining procedures. The material examined originates from 5 boars and 5 gilts and consists of cells from fibroblast and lymphoblast cultures. The identity of the X-chromosome is discussed.

A longitudinal study of the effects of providing straw at different stages of life on tail-biting and other behaviour in commercially housed pigs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Tail-biting (TB) is a welfare concern. Recent studies indicate that early provision of straw may help prevent TB, however, many of these studies were carried out on small groups of pigs and may have limited applicability to commercial farms.
