Mineral profiling of muscle and hepatic tissues of Australian Merino, Damara an...
Ribeiro, D.M.; Scanlon, T.; Kilminster, T.; Martins, C.F.; Greet, J.; Milton, J.; Holdham, C.; Freire, João; Mourato, Miguel; Almeida, A.M.Seasonal weight loss (SWL) is a major constraint to extensive animal production systems. The Australian sheep production is based on merino sheep, a European breed not tolerant to SWL. Tolerant alternative breeds such as the fat-tailed Damara and the Dorper have been increasingly used in Australia and elsewhere, due to their robustness. The aim of this study was to understand the mineral profile of muscle and l...
Influence of dietary Chlorella vulgaris and carbohydrate-active enzymes on grow...
Alfaia, C.M.; Pestana, J.M.; Rodrigues, M.; Coelho, D.; Aires, M.J.; Ribeiro, D.M.; Major, V.T.; Martins, C.F.; Santos, H.; Lopes, P.A.; Lemos, J.P.C.Herein, we investigated the effect of Chlorella vulgaris as ingredient (10% of incorporation) in broiler diets, supplemented or not with 2 formulations of Carbohydrate-Active enZymes (CAZymes; Rovabio Excel AP and a mixture of recombinant CAZymes, composed by an exo-b-glucosaminidase, an alginate lyase, a peptidoglycan N-acetylmuramic acid deacetylase and a lysozyme), on growth performance, meat quality, fatty ...
The effect of Nannochloropsis oceanica feed inclusion on rabbit muscle proteome
Ribeiro, D.M.; Bandarrinha, J.; Nanni, P.; Alves, S.P.; Martins, C.F.; Bessa, R.J.B.; Falcão-e-Cunha, L.; Almeida, A.M.Nannochloropsis oceanica is a microalga, highly concentrated in protein and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). It has a recalcitrant cell wall that decreases nutrient digestibility. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Nannochloropsis oceanica feed inclusion on the muscle proteome of fattening rabbits. Twenty rabbits were housed in individual cages for 5 weeks and were fed a control diet (n = 10) ...
Carcass measurements, non-carcass components and cut production of local Brazil...
Vargas Junior, Fernando Miranda; Martins, C.F.; Pinto, Guilherme dos Santos; Ferreira, Marcos Barbosa; Ricardo, Hélio de AlmeidaThis study aimed to assess and compare the non-carcass components, carcass measurements and meat cut production of Pantaneiro (P) sheep and their Texel (TP) and Santa Inês (SIP) crossbreds. Ninety-six lambs, of which 51 were male and 45 were female, with a mean weaning weight of 15.21 ± 1.25. kg and age of 78 ± 13 days were slaughtered at 32. kg of body weight. TP lambs had greater leg compactness and weight an...
