Extensive Sheep and Goat Production: The Role of Novel Technologies towards Sus...
Silva, S.R.; Sacarrão-Birrento, L.; Almeida, M.; Ribeiro, D.M.; Guedes, C.; Montaña, J.R.G.; Pereira, A.F.; Zaralis, K.; Geraldo, A.; Tzamaloukas, O.Sheep and goat extensive production systems are very important in the context of global food security and the use of rangelands that have no alternative agricultural use. In such systems, there are enormous challenges to address. These include, for instance, classical production issues, such as nutrition or reproduction, as well as carbon-efficient systems within the climate-change context. An adequate response...
Stress response of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) to environmental contamination with...
Leitão, I.; Leclerq, C.C.; Ribeiro, D.M.; Renaut, J.; Almeida, A.M.; Martins, L.L.; Mourato, M.P.Pharmaceutical compounds have been found in rivers and treated wastewaters. They often contaminate irrigation waters and consequently accumulate in edible vegetables, causing changes in plants metabolism The main objective of this work is to understand how lettuce plants cope with the contamination from three selected pharmaceuticals using a label free proteomic analysis. A lettuce hydroponic culture, grown for...
Influence of dietary Chlorella vulgaris and carbohydrate-active enzymes on grow...
Alfaia, Cristina; Pestana, J.M.; Rodrigues, M.; Coelho, D.; Aires, M.J.; Ribeiro, D.M.; Major, V. T.; Martins, C. F.; Lemos, J.P.C.; Fontes, M.G.A.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-beta-glucosaminidase, an alginate lyase, a peptidoglycan N-acetylmuramic acid deacetylase and a lysozyme), on growth performance, meat quality, fat...
The effects of improving low dietary protein utilization on the proteome of lam...
Ribeiro, D.M.; Planchon, S.; Leclercq, C.C.; Dentinho, M.T.P.; Bessa, R.J.B.; Santos-Silva, J.; Paulos, K.; Jerónimo, E.; Renault, J.; Almeida, A.M.Cistus ladanifer L. is a common shrub endemic to the Mediterranean region with high levels of condensed tannins (CT). CT form complexes with dietary protein resisting microbial degradation in the rumen, which enhances dietary protein utilization in ruminant diets. The objective of this study was to evaluate the utilization of CT in the diet of lambs on the proteomes of muscle, hepatic and adipose tissues. Twent...
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...
The application of omics in ruminant production: a review in the tropical and s...
Ribeiro, D.M.; Salama, A.A.K.; Vitor, A.C.M.; Arguello, A.; Moncau, C.T.; Santos, E.M.; Caja, G.; Oliveira, J.S.; Balieiro, J.C.C.The demand for animal products (e.g. dairy and beef) in tropical regions is expected to increase in parallel with the public demand for sustainable practices, due to factors such as population growth and climate change. The necessity to increase animal production output must be achieved with better management and production technologies. For this to happen, novel research methodologies, animal selection and pos...

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) ...
Prospectives for the use of nanomaterials in nanodiagnostic
Santos, João.M.; Rodrigues, S.M.; Ribeiro, D.M.; Prior, J.V.Conventional diagnostic methods are exclusively focused on the detection of the symptoms associated to a given pathology. Any process able to determine with anticipation the occurrence of a disease, inclusively before the first symptoms, or providing the means to predict the possibility of occurrence of that disease, would significantly reinforce the effectiveness of the therapy allowing, at the same time, the ...
