Old breeds, new solutions? Effects of two different traditional sire breeds on skin lesions, tail lesions, tail losses, performance and behaviour of rearing pigs [0.03%]
传统品种，新解决方案？两种不同传统公猪品种对仔猪皮肤损伤、尾巴损伤、尾巴损失、生长性能和行为的影响分析

A Lange et al.
Some studies indicated a relationship between modern, fast-growing, lean-meat-producing hybrid pigs and the occurrence of tail-biting, one of the major issues of conventional pig husbandry. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of ...
Nitrogen and energy losses and methane emissions from beef cattle fed diets with gradual replacement of maize silage and concentrate with grass silage and corn-cob mix [0.03%]
稻草和玉米秸秆混合日粮对肉牛氮、能收支及甲烷排放的影响
M Keller,A Scheurer,B Reidy et al.
M Keller et al.
Diets based on large proportions of grassland-based feed are uncommon in forage-based intensive beef production, thus contradicting governmental or commercial strategies to promote the use of grassland-based feed in ruminant production syst...
Short-term physiological responses to moderate heat stress in grazing dairy cows in temperate climate [0.03%]
温带牧牛乳牛中度热应激的短期生理反应
A Pontiggia,A Münger,S Ammer et al.
A Pontiggia et al.
Even in temperate climate regions, an increase in ambient temperature and exposure to solar radiation can cause heat stress in lactating dairy cows. We hypothesised that grazing dairy cows exhibit short-term physiological changes due to inc...
Effect of low colostrum intake on gastrointestinal development and uterine and cervical morphometrical architecture in the neonatal gilt [0.03%]
低初乳摄入对新生母猪胃肠道发育和子宫及宫颈形态结构的影响
P Langendijk,M Fleuren,K Venrooy et al.
P Langendijk et al.
To assess the importance of natural variation in colostrum intake on piglet gastrointestinal and reproductive development, two equally sized female piglets from each of 27 litters were selected, one with low (average 226 g) and one with hig...
Effect of outdoor grazing-area access time and enrichment on space and pasture use, behaviour, health and growth traits of weaned rabbits [0.03%]
不同户外放牧时间和环境丰富度对断奶兔的空间和草地使用、行为、健康和生长性状的影响
M Fetiveau,D Savietto,V Fillon et al.
M Fetiveau et al.
Providing rabbits with a grassy outdoor area allows them to express a broad variety of specific behaviours such as grazing where grazeable herbage persists. However, rabbits that graze are also exposed to external stressors. Controlled outd...
Planning for wolf-livestock coexistence: landscape context predicts livestock depredation risk in agricultural landscapes [0.03%]
景观格局预测农业景观中的家畜捕食风险以实现狼与家畜的共存规划
Hannes J König,Christian Kiffner,Katrin Kuhls et al.
Hannes J König et al.
Extensive pastoral livestock systems in Central Europe provide multiple ecosystem services and support biodiversity in agricultural landscapes but their viability is challenged by livestock depredation (LD) associated with the recovery of w...
Novel genomic markers and genes related to reproduction in prolific Chios dairy sheep: a genome-wide association study [0.03%]
高产希俄斯奶羊与繁殖相关的新型基因组标志物和基因：全基因组关联研究
V Tsartsianidou,A Pavlidis,E Tosiou et al.
V Tsartsianidou et al.
Genetic architecture of sheep reproduction is increasingly gaining scientific interest due to the major impact on sheep production systems. In the present study, we conducted pedigree-based analyses and genome-wide association studies using...
Animal board invited review: An update on the methods for semen quality evaluation in swine - from farm to the lab [0.03%]
动物邀请评审评论：猪精液品质评估方法更新——从农场到实验室
Carolina Maside,Sandra Recuero,Albert Salas-Huetos et al.
Carolina Maside et al.
Pig breeding is mainly conducted through artificial insemination with liquid-stored semen. It is, therefore, crucial to ensure that sperm quality is over the standard thresholds, as reduced sperm motility, morphology or plasma membrane inte...
Genetic parameters for early piglet weight, litter traits and number of functional teats in organic pigs [0.03%]
有机猪早期仔猪体重、窝产仔数和有效乳头数的遗传参数
R M Zaalberg,T T Chu,H Bovbjerg et al.
R M Zaalberg et al.
Knowledge remains limited on genetic variation and genetic correlations for traits in sows and piglets that are reared in an organic or outdoor setting. Here, we estimated genetic variance components for individual piglet weight, litter wei...
Bimodal milk flow and overmilking in dairy cattle: risk factors and consequences [0.03%]
奶牛的双峰式乳汁流动和过挤：风险因素及后果

To maximise the return on capital invested in the milking parlour, the largest number of cows should be milked gently and completely in the shortest possible time. Bimodal milk flow and overmilking negatively influence the efficiency of the...
