Effect of locomotion score on sows’ performances in a feed reward collection test
Animal, 2015 Sows housed in groups have to move through their pen to fulfil their behavioural and physiological needs such as feeding and resting. In addition to causing pain and discomfort, lameness may restrict the ability of sows to fulfil such needs.

An epidemiological study of foot, limb and body lesions and lameness in pigs [PDF]
A cross sectional study of 103 indoor and outdoor British pig farms was carried out in 2003-2004. Over 12,000 pigs aged from 3 days up to multiparious breeding sows were examined.

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Seven‐year surveillance reveals a cold‐adapted OsHV‐1 lineage in blood clams, with disease onset at 13°C—3–5°C lower than in oysters—and identifies asymptomatic carriers and facility effluent as key transmission routes. ABSTRACT Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV‐1) poses a major threat to bivalve aquaculture, but its impact on blood clams (Anadara ...

Survival analysis of culling reasons and economic examination of production period in sow culling [PDF]
The culling of the sows is an important task of the breeders and farmers, besides it is a determining factor of profitable pork production. During our research we have surveyed the data of 1969 sows in a Hungarian large-scale pig farm.

Ferritin as a Nanoparticle Scaffold for Plant‐Produced Next‐Generation Subunit Vaccines
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Protein nanoparticles offer an innovative approach to next‐generation subunit vaccine development by displaying antigenic sequences on the nanoparticle surface. Compared to traditional subunit vaccines, protein nanoparticle vaccines often show improved interaction with the immune system due to their particulate size and repetitive epitope ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.

Splenic Hamartoblastoma in a Sow.
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1994 Multiple lesions of splenic hamartoblastoma were found incidentally in a 2- to 3-year-old crossbred sow. The predominant cells, characterized by extreme nuclear irregularity and hemidesmosome-like structures, were considered to be derived from reticular cells of the spleen, and demonstrated infiltrative growth.
