“…Also, mastitis is one of the most frequently encountered diseases, having a significant impact on animal welfare, milk yield, and quality. The aim of this study was to identify genomic region(s) associated with the milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in Valle del Belice sheep using single-step genome-wide association (ssGWA) and genotyping data from medium density SNP panels. …”

“…BACKGROUND: Horses are often fed high amounts of starch in their diets despite the well-established benefits of a fibre-based diet to promote gut health and animal welfare. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of two different diets – one based on high amounts of starch (HS) vs. one base on high amounts of fibre (HF) – on specific parameters of the gut environment across different intestinal compartments of the horse digestive tract. …”

“…In conclusion, microscopic evaluation of cells from the meninges of piglets can help swine practitioners in establishing a tentative diagnosis of meningitis more quickly, which allows for better treatment, improves animal welfare, and reduces antimicrobial use. ABSTRACT: Meningitis, caused by bacterial infections such as Streptococcus spp., is a frequently observed cause of death in pigs. …”

“…However, eCG is an essential element in such protocols, and it has many disadvantages such as the formation of antibodies against the hormone and aspects related to animal welfare (specifically pregnant mares). Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) can be a possible eCG alternative, but variable ovarian responses and sexual behaviors were observed, and these were mainly due to the ability of GnRH to induce a precocious LH surge. …”
