Intramuscular fat (IMF) is closely related to the meat quality of livestock and poultry. As a new cell culture technique in vitro, cell co-culture has been gradually applied to the related research of IMF formation because it can simulate the changes of microenvironment in vivo during the process of IMF cell formation. In the co-culture model, in a...

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly aggressive malignancy that emerges from the biliary tree. There are three major classes of CCA-intrahepatic, hilar (perihilar), or distal (extrahepatic)-according to the location of tumor development. Although CCA tumors are mainly derived from biliary epithelia (i.e., cholangiocytes), CCA can be originated from...
Introduction. Silvopastoral systems are livestock scheme production schemes with the potential to mitigate the negative effect of the environment on animal productivity. Objective. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of multi-stratum silvopastoral systems on heat stress and the population of hematophagous dipterans in beef cattle...
Toxoplasmosis is a globally distributed zoonosis caused by a protozoan Toxoplasma gondii able to infect all warm-blooded animals. Infection is generally asymptomatic or benign in humans except in cases of immunosuppression or maternal-fetal transmission (the cause of congenital toxoplasmosis). In livestock, it can be a source of abortions causing e...

Research in growth and development, accumulation of lean, and fat metabolism in farm animals was gaining attention principally from a carcass perspective by meat scientists and animal nutritionists about a century ago. Under the auspices of the USDA Cooperative State Research Service, State Agricultural Experiment Stations, and the Land Grant Unive...
Dit rapport beschrijft een praktijkstudie naar de mogelijkheden om het verteerbaar fosfor (vP) gehalte in het rantsoen van biologisch gehouden vleesvarkens te verlagen. De verlaging van het berekend vP-gehalte met 0,4 g/kg (15% in startvoer, 20% in vleesvarkensvoer) had geen negatieve invloed op de gezondheid en groei van de varkens. Deze verlaging...
In dit rapport wordt verslag gedaan van een onderzoek dat is uitgevoerd op een konijnen praktijkbedrijf en waarbij drie verschillende parksystemen voor vleeskonijnen zijn vergeleken. Gelet is of de systemen voldoen aan de behoefte van konijnen, de productiviteit is gemeten en de hygiëne, de reinigbaarheid en het arbeidsgemak zijn in kaart gebracht....
