Open AccessSkeletal muscle metabolomics and blood biochemistry analysis reveal metabolic changes associated with dietary amino acid supplementation in dairy calves
The effects of different amino acid (AA) supplementations of milk protein-based milk replacers in pre-ruminant calves from 3 days to 7 weeks of age were studied. Animals were divided into 4 groups: Ctrl) Contr...

Open AccessBiochemical and proteomic analyses of the physiological response induced by individual housing in gilts provide new potential stress markers
The objective assessment of animal stress and welfare requires proper laboratory biomarkers. In this work, we have analyzed the changes in serum composition in gilts after switching their housing, from pen to ...

Oxidative stress and acute phase response associated to changes in housing from pen to individual stalls in reproductive sows
Under field conditions, gilts are usually housed in pens of 10–15 sows by group, when they arrive into the production facility from the multiplication unit. After spending there the quarantine period, they are...

Open AccessAssociation between plasma metabolites and gene expression profiles in five porcine endocrine tissues
Endocrine tissues play a fundamental role in maintaining homeostasis of plasma metabolites such as non-esterified fatty acids and glucose, the levels of which reflect the energy balance or the health status of...
