Whole-genome sequencing of European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds allows the detection of signatures of selection for adaptation of genetic resources to different breeding and production systems
(BMC Publishing, 2020)
Background: Natural and artificial directional selection in cosmopolitan and autochthonous pig breeds and wild boars have shaped their genomes and resulted in a reservoir of animal genetic diversity. Signatures of selection ...
Second order probabilistic assessment of chronic dietary exposure to aflatoxin M1 in Serbia
(Food and Chemical Toxicology, 08-2023)
Considering the genotoxic and cancerogenic nature of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), its presence in milk and dairy products may pose health risks for consumers. The chronic exposure was calculated using a two-dimensional (second ...

(MDPI, 30-03-2023)
The objective of the present trial was to evaluate the effects of nettle leaves (Urtica dioica) supplementation, broiler gender and muscle portion on meat fatty acid and mineral profiles. Prior to the trial, a total of 600 ...
Production Performance and Egg Quality of Laying Hens as Influenced by Genotype and Rearing System
(Fundação APINCO de Ciência e Tecnologia Avícolas, 2021)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rearing systems

and New Hampshire genotypes were used in this study. These two
genotypes were housed ...
Development and effect of a Lactobacillus plantarum inoculant on quality of maize grain silage / Razvoj i uticaj Lactobacillus plantarum inokulanta na kvalitet silaže od zrna kukuruza
(Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2020)
The main aim of these studies was the characterisation and identification of lactic acid (LAB) bacteria isolated from untreated silage, and the effect of selected bacteria (inoculant was called Silko for maize) on ensiling ...
Herbicide drift vs. crop resilience – the influence of micro-rates
(Plant, Soil and Environment, 14-04-2023)
A greenhouse study was conducted to test the effects of low herbicide dose exposure on different crops measuring visible damages, plant height, leaf area, and dry matter. Seven crops were tested: lettuce (Lactuca sativa ...
Agronomic responses of soybean genotypes to starter nitrogen fertilizer rate
(MDPI, 2020)
The main nitrogen (N) sources in soybean production originate from soil fixing bacteria Bradyrhizobium spp. and from mineralization of soil organic N. These sources of N are often not sufficient to cover the N needs of the ...
