Seasonal variations of sperm freezability associated with testicular germinal epithelium changes in domestic (Ovis aries) and wild (Ovis musimon) rams
(2019-06-11)The aim of this study was to examine ovine sperm cryoresistance during the rutting season (RS) and its association with sperm head area and seminiferous epithelium proliferation. Small ruminants show fluctuating testosterone ... -
Exploring animal genetic resources of the domestic chicken and their behavior in the open field
(2022-02-04)Animal welfare is of general interest, and in the farming arena, efforts have increased to create optimal conditions for poultry production. Detailed and standardized studies on specific behavioral issues, such as fear, ... -
Glucocorticoids in relation to behavior, morphology, and physiology as proxy indicators for the assessment of animal welfare: A systematic mapping review
(2023-01-06)Translating theoretical concepts of animal welfare into quantitative assessment protocols is an ongoing challenge. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are frequently used as physiological measure in welfare assessment. The interpretation ... -
Growth performance and economic impact of Simmental fattening bulls fed dry or corn silage-based total mixed rations
(2023-04)Bull-fattening diets in Europe and most developed countries around the world have traditionally been based on corn silage, starch-rich, and high-energy/ high-protein supplemental feeds. The impact of climate change on crop ... -
Differences among domestic chicken breeds in tonic immobility responses as a measure of fearfulness
(2023-04-04)Background: One priority for animal welfare is for animals to experience less fear, especially during human contact. For domestic animals, breeds that are less fearful may provide genetic resources to develop strains with ... -
Development of a novel app-based system for the digital color read out of time-temperature-indicators and to monitor shelf life along the chain
(2023-10-19)The aim of this study was the development of an app-based system for the digital read-out of Time-Temperature-Indicators (TTI) and the shelf life prediction of perishable products. The study was subdivided into four parts: ...
