A single-step genome-wide association study combined with random regression models identified 17 candidate genes whose effects on milk urea nitrogen in Iranian Holstein cattle shift across early, mid and late lactation.
AIDA explores Black Soldier Fly larvae to process Dimapur’s organic waste, reduce disposal pressures and create potential livelihood opportunities DIMAPUR — Nearly 49 tonnes of organic waste pile up in Dimapur every day. The Dimapur Municipal Council spends close to INR 14 lakh…
The most compelling candidates were genes flagged consistently across all five methods. Among them was MITF, described by the authors as a key regulator of pigmentation and protection against ultraviolet radiation. The second was ACSL6, which the authors note participates in…
A new review finds bacteriophage therapy shows promise against antibiotic-resistant livestock infections, but most evidence remains limited to laboratory and controlled animal studies. Subject of Research: Bacteriophage therapy as an alternative to antibiotics for bacterial infections in livestock News Source:…
An inactivated vaccine made from the Chinese Lawsonia intracellularis isolate LI-HuB23 reduced shedding, diarrhea and ileal lesions in experimentally challenged pigs, though it trailed the commercial live vaccine on some shedding measures. An experimental inactivated vaccine developed from a Chinese isolate…
A pilot pedigree-based breeding program in black soldier fly larvae achieved indicative genetic improvement in larval weight over seven generations, while rising inbreeding levels exposed the limits of small selection nuclei in industrial insect production. Black soldier fly larvae have…
Tonsils were collected from 200 fattening pigs at slaughter from ten abattoirs across Sweden in 2017, with one pig per herd sampled. Wild boars, numbering 180, were sampled during hunting in 2018, primarily in Östergötland County. Cultures were performed using selective media, and isolates…
A laboratory study of Ruminococcus albus 7 with four Methanobrevibacter strains reveals partner-specific shifts in hydrogen metabolism, biofilm genes and sulfur amino acid exchange during syntrophic growth. Scientists have mapped in fine detail how a dominant rumen bacterium and four methanogen…
