Administration of a long-acting antiparasitic to pre-pubertal ewe-lambs in Greece results in earlier reproductive activity and improved reproductive performance
(2011)We studied the reproductive effects of administration of a long-acting antiparasitic (moxidectin) given to pre-pubertal ewe-lambs in Greece at the beginning of the reproductive season. 45 animals, naturally infected with ... -
Boron behavior in apple plants in acidic and limed soil
(2013)In dry Mediterranean-type climates boron (B) levels may naturally be high and even toxic to plants. Although liming of an acidic soil is expected to decrease B levels, it is not known what the effects would be in such areas ... -
Clinical and pathological responses of pigs from two genetically diverse commercial lines to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
(2009)The response to infection from porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) for 2 genetically diverse commercial pig lines was investigated. Seventy-two pigs from each line, aged 6 wk, were challenged with ... -
Dietary differences are reflected on the gut prokaryotic community structure of wild and commercially reared sea bream (Sparus aurata)
(2014)We compared the gut prokaryotic communities in wild, organically-, and conventionally reared sea bream (Sparus aurata) individuals. Gut microbial communities were identified using tag pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA genes. ... -
Effects of fertilization and tillage system on growth and crude protein content of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Wild.): An alternative forage crop
(2014)A field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of fertilization and tillage on growth, yield and quality of quinoa crop (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.). The agronomic performance and nutritive value of quinoa was ... -
Effects of sarcoptic mange on the reproductive performance of ewes and transmission of Sarcoptes scabiei to newborn lambs
(2001)In each of two experiments, the reproductive performance of ewes naturally infested with sarcoptic mange and of uninfested ewes was assessed in in-season natural breeding conditions (experiment I) or in out-of-season ... -
Exploring the assumptions underlying genetic variation in host nematode resistance (Open Access Publication)
(2008)The wide range of genetic parameter estimates for production traits and nematode resistance in sheep obtained from field studies gives rise to much speculation. Using a mathematical model describing host - parasite ... -
FATTY ACID CONTENT AND POTENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS OF CONSUMING GILTHEAD SEA BREAM (SPARUS AURATA) AND SEA BASS (DICENTRARCHUS LABRAX)
(2011)The fatty acid composition of wild sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) and gilthead sea bream (Sparus auratus L.) were compared with gas chromatography. These two species are widely cultivated in Europe and represent a ... -
Health management of ewes during pregnancy
(2012)The objectives of health management of ewes during pregnancy are as follows: (i) successful completion of pregnancy at term, (ii) birth of healthy and viable lambs, with optimal birth and potential weaning bodyweight, (iii) ... -
Impact of Nitrogen and Sulfur Fertilization on the Composition of Glucosinolates in Relation to Sulfur Assimilation in Different Plant Organs of Broccoli
(2009)Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is one of the most important winter season vegetables and a rich source of chemoprotective molecules, including glucosinolates (GSL). The aim of this study was to investigate the ... -
A matched case-control study of factors associated with retention of fetal membranes in dairy ewes in Southern Greece
(2000)We defined retention of fetal membranes (RFM) in dairy ewes as failure to expel the placenta within 6 h after lambing the last lamb and designed a matched case-control study to identify factors that affect the risk of ... -
Rapid improvement of immunity to Teladorsagia circumcincta is achieved through a reduction in the demand for protein in lactating ewes
(2006)Protein supplementation can improve the resistance to parasites of periparturient ewes, as indicated by reduced nematode egg excretion and worm burdens. However, the rate at which this improvement can occur is largely ... -
Trace mineral content of conventional, organic and courtyard eggs analysed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(2009)We investigated the contents in yolk and albumen of the trace minerals Se, Zn, Mn, Co, Cu, Mo, V, Cr, Ni, TI. As and Cd in eggs from hens from three husbandry systems by ICP-MS. Conventional hens were given a commercial ...
