Integration of genome wide association and expression profiling for investigating water holding capacity traits in a Duroc × Pietrain resource population
(2013-12-15)Water holding capacity (WHC) is an important quality criterion for the consumers and the meat processing industries. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate WHC traits in the Duroc × Pietrain resource population ... -
Greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from dairy barns
(2013-12-18)Livestock farming is blamed to bear the bulk of certain gaseous emissions from agriculture such as ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>). Emission measurement in naturally ventilated buildings in general, ... -
Porcine Alveolar Macrophage Responses to Gram-positive and Gram-negative Bacterial Components in Innate Immunity
(2013-12-12)Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are important in the regulation of innate immune responses in the lung through their phagocytosis and the production of a variety of compounds, like cytokines and nitric oxide (NO). Newborn animals ... -
