Abstract:
... The aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity of different in vivo and post-mortem samples collected from finishing pigs under field conditions on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae detection by PCR. Results suggested that tracheobronchial secretions and bronchial swabs conferred the highest sensitivity in vivo and post-mortem, respectively. ...

Abstract:
... Secretory structures that produce floral rewards have rarely been reported for Annonaceae. We identified a glandular region in Xylopia aromatica (Lam.) Mart., which consisted of a nectary and an elaiophore. This study aimed to describe the structure and secretory process of these glandular structures, which are highly correlated with the reproductive biology of this species. Anatomical and ultrast ...

Indeed, for millennia, shiny precious metals and glossy lacquerware have been used to enhance the presentation, and thus the perception, of food and drink. As such, one might have expected that adding a shiny/glossy appearance/finish to the outer packaging of food and beverage p ...

Abstract:
... Injurious pecking is one of the main welfare issues in fattening turkey husbandry. Birds pecked by conspecifics can suffer from serious injuries that may even lead to the death of the victimized animals or require their culling. In the present study, the behavior of male turkeys was documented day and night using video recordings throughout the entire fattening period of 19 wk. Thus, when a turkey ...
