Edible insect powder, particularly from the cricket Acheta domesticus L., is a promising sustainable alternative to traditional livestock-derived protein. Insects provide high protein content, fibre, and essential minerals, making them suitable for food applications. This study investigates the viability of alternative diets for rearing A. domesticus. Two experimental diets were tested: RI [50% horticultural by...
Climate change affects livestock systems through direct impacts on the physiology, behavior, production and welfare of animals and indirectly through the availability, composition and quality of food. Water is essential for the life of animals, since it intervenes in various metabolic processes. An inadequate water supply could reduce the health and performance of the animals. In dairy farms, the use of quality...
Climate change affects livestock systems through direct impacts on the physiology, behavior, production and welfare of animals and indirectly through the availability, composition and quality of food and milk. The aim of this study is to ascertain whether dairy cattle farmers in Portugal (1) consider the issue of ”water scarcity and quality” to be important on dairy cattle farms. Questionnaires were sent to dai...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-11-21; Searches for anomalous top quark-antiquark production are presented, based on pp collisions at √s=8 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1, were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The observed tt̄ invariant mass spectrum is found to be compatible with the standard...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-12-23; Rapidity distributions are presented for events containing either a Z boson or a photon with a single jet in proton-proton collisions produced at the CERN LHC. The data, collected with the CMS detector at √s=7 TeV, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb-1. The individual rapidity distributions...
