Risks associated with preweaning mortality on 39 commercial outdoor pig farms in England [PDF]

, 2014
A prospective longitudinal study was carried out on 39 outdoor breeding pig farms in England in 2003 and 2004 to investigate the risks associated with mortality in liveborn preweaning piglets.

The influence of biologically active preparations on the reproductive qualities of sows

, 2021
The work concerns the study of the reproductive qualities of sows that received, in addition to the main diet, a biologically active preparation (LB-AAP) synthesized from brewer’s yeast waste.

Engineering of Crystal and Domain Structures in Epitaxial Y:HfO2 Thin Films by YSZ Substrate Miscut

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigate how YSZ substrate miscut influences crystal structure and domain formation in epitaxial Y‐doped HfO2 thin films. Using magnetron sputtering, high‐resolution X‐ray diffraction, atomic‐resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, and first‐principles calculations, we systematically examine the characteristics of thickness‐ and ...

Sow and piglet behaviour during lactation: A review focusing on selected behaviour manifested by foster sows and their fostered piglets [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Foster (F) sows are used to nurse piglets from other sows. Nurse (N) sows are used to nurse other piglets after weaning their own piglets during lactation. Sows nursing non-biological piglets can reject or attack unfamiliar piglets.

[Continuous, subjective sonographic grayscale analysis of uterine involution in sows during the postpartum period]. [PDF]

, 2022
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyse the continuous and subjective evaluation of echogenicity, echotexture of the puerperal uterus as well as the presence of intrauterine fluid in sows of differing parity stages.

SiDT1 Defines Plant Architecture Reminiscent of Green Revolution in Foxtail Millet

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SiDT1 encodes a GA3‐oxidase that creates a semi‐dwarf, lodging‐resistant architecture reminiscent of the rice Green Revolution. The resulting ideotype performs well under dense planting and provides a valuable genetic resource for high‐yield, mechanized foxtail millet production. ABSTRACT Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a drought‐tolerant C4 cereal

Evaporative snout cooling system on the performance of lactating sows and their litters in a subtropical region

Ciência Rural, 2015
The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of different temperature control systems on the voluntary feed intake (VFI), percentage of weight loss (PWL) and performance of lactating sows as well as on the weight of their piglets.

Post weaning altrenogest use in sows: follicle growth, endocrine profiles and subsequent fertility [PDF]

, 2011
A severe negative energy balance during first lactation may result in poor reproductive performance in the second litter. Allowing the sow recovery time after weaning by inseminating the sow the second estrus after weaning (skip a heat) improves ...

Single‐cell Transcriptome Profiling Reveals Gene Regulatory Networks and Key Genes in the Root Epidermis and Cortical Cells Associated with Early Nodulation in Glycine Max

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell transcriptomics of soybean roots soon after rhizobial inoculation reveals epidermal and cortical cell‐specific programs and gene‐regulatory networks acting in symbiosis establishment. We identify an ethylene‐driven regulatory circuit involving WRKY6.3/6.4 transcription factors targeting select Nod19 genes that promotes infection‐thread ...

An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...
