Optimisation of a bead-beating procedure for simultaneous extraction of bacterial and fungal DNA from pig faeces and liquid feed for 16S and ITS2 rDNA amplicon sequencing

J.T. Cullen, Peadar G. Lawlor, Paul Cormican et al. · 14 May 2022

Efficient cell lysis is critical for the extraction of DNA from difficult-to-lyse microorganisms such as Gram-positive bacteria and filamentous fungi. A bead-beating (BB) step is usually included in DNA extraction protocols to improve cell lysis. However, there is no consensus on the duration of BB that is necessary for complete lysis of the microbial communities…

The fasting heat production of broilers is a function of their body composition

Diego Martínez, N. Suesuttajit, Katie Hilton et al. · 29 Oct 2022

The fasting heat production ( FHP ; net energy expenditure under maintenance) is a key value to determine the net energy value of the feed and is calculated from measurements in respiratory chambers or predicted as a function of the metabolic BW ( MBW ). This study aimed to determine the influence of body composition…

Evaluating a Walk-over-Weighing system for the automatic monitoring of growth in postweaned Mérinos d’Arles ewe lambs under Mediterranean grazing conditions

Estelle Leroux, I. Llach, Gaëlle Besche et al. · 31 Dec 2022

Live weight (LW) is a key and conventional indicator for monitoring and assessing overall animal performance and welfare, representing the progress through different physiological stages, while providing close indication of individual physical and health status. Measuring LW in practice is still, however, quite rare and infrequent under commercial sheep farming conditions, mainly because sessions are…

The relationship between on-farm environmental conditions inside and outside cow sheds during the summer in England: can Temperature Humidity Index be predicted from outside conditions?

Alyssa Chamberlain, C.D. Powell, E. Arcier et al. · 13 Aug 2022

Heat stress is a growing problem in dairy cows, and interest is developing in calculating heat stress risk (Temperature Humidity Index – THI) without using specific farm data and in forecasting THI changes a few days in advance. Previous workers have shown that calculating THI values inside cattle sheds using data from local Meteorological Stations…

Processing weights of chickens determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry: 2. Developing prediction models

Diego Martínez, N. Suesuttajit, Jordan Weil et al. · 2 Sep 2022

A considerable opportunity exists in evaluating the dynamics of the carcass and the processing cut-up weights of broilers across the whole grow-out period as influenced by intervention factors. However, no fast and objective tool exists up to date to make such determinations. This study aimed to develop models to predict the unchilled and chilled weights…
