Effects of tail docking and docking length on neuroanatomical changes in healed tail tips of pigs

Animal, 2015
In pig production, piglets are tail docked at birth in order to prevent tail biting later in life. In order to examine the effects of tail docking and docking length on the formation of neuromas, we used 65 pigs and the following four treatments: intact ...

Effect of pen design on tail biting and tail-directed behaviour of finishing pigs with intact tails

Animal, 2020
Tail biting is a welfare and economical concern in modern pig production. One common preventive measure used throughout the world is tail docking, which is generally considered one of the most effective methods for limiting tail biting.

Architecture of the chromatin remodeler RSC and insights into its nucleosome engagement. [PDF]

, 2019
Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into nucleosome arrays, which are repositioned by chromatin remodeling complexes to control DNA accessibility. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RSC (Remodeling the Structure of Chromatin) complex, a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin ...

The chromatin remodeller ACF acts as a dimeric motor to space nucleosomes. [PDF]

, 2009
Evenly spaced nucleosomes directly correlate with condensed chromatin and gene silencing. The ATP-dependent chromatin assembly factor (ACF) forms such structures in vitro and is required for silencing in vivo.

Lamb behaviour during and shortly after tail-docking

South African Journal of Animal Science
Routine husbandry procedures for lambs are increasingly scrutinised for their animal welfare implications. One such procedure is tail-docking, which is commonly performed to prevent breech blowfly strike.

Structure of FcRY, an avian immunoglobulin receptor related to mammalian mannose receptors, and its complex with IgY [PDF]

, 2011
Fc receptors transport maternal antibodies across epithelial cell barriers to passively immunize newborns. FcRY, the functional counterpart of mammalian FcRn (a major histocompatibility complex homolog), transfers IgY across the avian yolk sac, and ...

Rearing Pigs with Intact Tails—Experiences and Practical Solutions in Sweden

Animals, 2019
Tail biting is a common issue within commercial pig production. It is mainly an indicator of inadequate housing environment and results in reduced health welfare and production.

Specific lid-base contacts in the 26s proteasome control the conformational switching required for substrate degradation. [PDF]

, 2019
The 26S proteasome is essential for proteostasis and the regulation of vital processes through ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated substrates. To accomplish the multi-step degradation process, the proteasomes regulatory particle, consisting of lid
