Integrating Significant SNPs Identified by GWAS for Genomic Prediction of the Number of Ribs and Carcass Length in Suhuai Pigs

Animals
The number of ribs (NRs) and the carcass length (CL) are important economic traits. The traits are usually measured after slaughter. To improve the prediction performance of genomic selection (GS) for NRs and CL, one strategy is to integrate the ...

Assessment of the cross-protective capability of recombinant capsid proteins derived from pig, rat, and avian hepatitis E viruses (HEV) against challenge with a genotype 3 HEV in pigs [PDF]

, 2012
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of hepatitis E, is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route through contaminated water supplies, although many sporadic cases of hepatitis E are transmitted zoonotically via direct contact with infected ...

The role of microRNAs in dexamethasone-induced skeletal muscle atrophy

Experimental Gerontology
Muscle atrophy is characterized by a decrease in muscle mass, strength, and activity. Recently, it was determined that microRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate muscle atrophy and that dexamethasone (Dex), an allergy and autoimmune disorder treatment that can ...

Effect of A PLC-Based Drinkers for Fattening Pigs on Reducing Drinking Water Consumption, Wastage and Pollution

Agriculture
In this study, we propose an intelligent drinking water controller based on programmable logic controller (PLC) specifically designed for pig breeding, which significantly reduces the water waste caused by the use of traditional drinking bowls by ...
