The number of representative samples to build a calibration model plays major role in the success chemometric models for class discrimination; therefore, knowing which should be used prediction is essential. aim this work design basic guideline training partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) classify complex analysed by Gas Chromatography (GC) coupled Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) using dry-cured Iberian ham as an example. effect number, proportion and validation use two data...
This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of three semen extenders (S-EXT) on 22 spermatozoa (SPZ) parameters (subjective computer-assisted sperm analysis evaluations), before after cryopreservation throughout different months breeding season in Portuguese Merino breed. According multivariable model, SPZ viability (alive %), kinetics subjective individual motility, total progressive motility its subpopulations, beat cross frequency) were higher egg yolk-based S-EXT improved by...
The acorn-fed Iberian pig is known worldwide due to the quality of resulting products commercialized after a natural and free grazing period fattening in dehesa agroforestry ecosystem. regulation breed reserves "acorn" denomination for only those obtained from animals exclusively fed acorns other resources; however, sometimes, feed supplementation pig's diet fraudulently employed reach an earlier slaughtering weight increase stocking rate, strategy called postre (meaning "feed supplement")....
This study examines the global evolution of sow productivity, with a particular focus on Spain. The analysis is based key performance metrics such as piglets weaned per year (PWSY), prolificacy, and pre-weaning mortality, utilizing data from literature reviews, InterPIG, BDporc® databases. Globally, significant advancements in genetic selection management practices have led to productivity increases across major pig-producing countries, notable improvements prolificacy. However, higher...
Nowadays, people are increasingly interested in the food they consume. Authenticity and natural origin amongst most valued issues of products by society. Although various national international laws have been created for regulation labelling trade food, unfortunately, often not effective avoiding product fraud. The Iberian pig cured obtained with this breed a great reputation due to their high quality added value. However, authentication these pigs feeding regime is sometimes difficult....
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect production system and other environmental/phenotype factors on age at first kidding (AFK), interval (KI) prolificacy 19,772 Florida goats reared between 2000 2019 49 dairy farms (38 intensively managed 11 extensively with grazing). AFK lower intensive (490.2 ± 0.9 days; n = 13,345) than extensive (511.7 2.5 2357; p < 0.001), highest during spring season (533.9 2.7 1932; 0.001) in both systems. average KI 355.7 0.4 days, mainly...
The Iberian pig is a native breed of the Peninsula, which holds an international reputation due to superior quality and added value its products. Different rearing practices feeding regimes are regulated, resulting in different labelling schemes. However, there no official analytical methodology that standardised for certification purposes sector. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technology provides information about physicochemical composition sample, with several advantages have enabled...
The current quality control of the dry-curing process in Iberian ham is performed with an olfactory evaluation by experts. present study proposes to monitor using objective analytical methodology that involves non-destructive sampling subcutaneous fat hams and a volatile profile analysis gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry. Thirty-eight 100% acorn-fed were examined total, eighteen monitored during post-salting stage twenty drying-maturation stage. A total 164 markers detected...
Consumers are increasingly prone to request information about the production systems of food they buy. For this purpose, certification and authentication methodologies necessary not only protect choices consumers, but also producers systems. The objective preliminary work was authenticate grazing system dairy goats using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) analyses milk faeces animals. Spectral several mathematical pre-treatments were used for development six discriminant models based on...
Bovine tuberculosis is considered a re-emerging disease caused by different species from the Mycobacterium complex (MTC), important not only for livestock sector but also public health due to its zoonotic character. Despite numerous efforts that have been carried out improve performance of current antemortem diagnostic procedures, nowadays, they still pose several drawbacks, such as moderate low sensitivity, highlighting necessity develop alternative and innovative tools complement control...

Bovine mastitis is nowadays the most important disease in dairy cows due to its economic and productive impact. The subclinical forms of bovine are considered especially problematic no obvious visible symptoms, which hamper current diagnosis lead an underestimation repercussion. As this has been recognized as main cause for antibiotic use production, attention focused on a selective therapy based management by treating exclusively those cases susceptible benefit from antibiotics. objective...
