Risk management externalities in agrifood supply chains
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Firms may under‐ or over‐invest in risk management from the social planner's perspective, resulting in a negative externality on other economic agents in the supply chain. The externality of risk management is particularly relevant for agrifood supply chains, which frequently experience disruptions and play a primary role in preventing major ...

Porcine deltacoronavirus infection promotes intracellular lipid droplet accumulation
Virology JournalBackground Viruses critically depend on host lipid metabolism to drive replication, assembly and immune evasion during infection and pathogenesis. While previous studies have demonstrated that certain viruses induce lipid droplet accumulation in infected

Pilot study of large-scale production of mutant pigs by ENU mutagenesis
eLife, 2017 N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis is a powerful tool to generate mutants on a large scale efficiently, and to discover genes with novel functions at the whole-genome level in Caenorhabditis elegans, flies, zebrafish and mice, but it has never been ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

The effects of breed and gender on meat quality of Duroc, Pietrain, and their crossbred
Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2020 This study evaluated the effects of breed and gender in Duroc (D), Pietrain (P), and crossbred (DP) pigs. Loin samples were collected from D (n = 79), P (n = 42), and DP (n = 45) pigs. Intramuscular fat content was

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The heart is the central organ of the cardiovascular system. The myocardium is composed of a three‐dimensional network of fibers arranged in clockwise and counterclockwise helices, which are essential for proper cardiac contraction. This study aimed to describe the stratigraphic and morpho‐functional pattern of the porcine myocardium to ...

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.This study aimed to investigate the potential of a mannan‐rich fraction (MRF) as a dietary intervention to alleviate weaning stress in piglets. Our results revealed that MRF could alleviate weaning stress by modulating the gut microbiota and the TLR5/NF‐κB signaling pathway, offering a novel and sustainable alternative to antibiotic use in swine ...
