Abstract:
... Farm animal welfare is an increasingly important issue, leading to the need for an efficient methodology to deliver accurate benchmarking. The “Real Welfare” project developed a methodology based on regular recording of a limited number of animal-based measures, so-called welfare outcomes, which allows faster and easier on-farm assessment of finishing pig welfare. The objective of this paper is to ...

Abstract:
... Species of the genus Lophius spawn ribbon-shaped egg masses called an “egg veil.” Egg veils are composed of numerous mucoid chambers each enveloping eggs. The subsequent larvae have been observed to remain in the chamber for a period of time after hatching from eggs in some species of Lophius. However, the period until the larvae emerge from the egg veil is unclear. Here we discuss the timing of t ...

Abstract:
... In order to investigate and create an ethogram of the rolling behavior of mules (Equus caballus × Equus asinus) in comparison to that of horses (Equus caballus), we observed a domestic free-range, mixed group of 17 horses and 11 mules for two consecutive days (12 h/day), filming all the rolling events. From these footages, we were able to register the occurrence of specific behaviors that characte ...

Abstract:
... The quality changes in tilapia belly muscle (BM), dorsal muscle (DM) and tail muscle (TM) were studied and the hypothesis of browning of the fillets was revealed during partial freezing. Compared with DM and TM groups, BM samples had higher thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (0.41 mg malondialdehyde eq/kg at 49 d) and K values (61.81% at 42 d) (P < 0.05). The microstructure of the BM ...

Abstract:
... Malformations of vertebrae potentially occur across many taxa, particularly in Testudines, which are susceptible to kyphosis (dorsoventral curvature of the spine). Such malformations may stem from either genetic or environmental origins, and their prevalence and associated impacts on survival remain poorly understood. However, scoliosis (sideways curvature of the spine) is rarely reported and espe ...

Species in Galliformes have elaborate ritual courtship displays, often including strutting, fluffing of tail or head feathers, and vocal sounds that serve as excellent examples of sexual selection. According to the male orientation to the female while either posturing or moving, these courtship displays of gallinaceous species can be classified into three categories: 1) ‘frontal displays’, 2) ‘lat ...
