Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) causes a highly contagious intestinal disease with severe economic impacts on the global swine industry. The non-structural protein 13 (nsp13), viral helicase, is essential for replication, making it promising target antiviral drug development. In this study, through virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations, Vancomycin, small-molecule also clinically used as an antibacterial agent, was identified to exhibit stable binding affinity PEDV...
The incorporation of carbonate has been recognized as an evident change in bone mineral (bioapatite) during aging. Laying hens (Gushi layer) at 4 stages age (8 each stage) were studied by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray radiography to investigate the mineralogical changes density, respectively. Cortical bones humerus femur show a rapid increase (∼1.9 wt.%) from sexual maturity peak hens' laying period, while densities cortical are relatively stable. Before maturity, density increases...
This study aimed to explore the dynamic variations in fermentation characteristics, bacterial diversity and community composition at two preservation temperatures as time extended. Six rumen fluid samples collected from high-grain feeding sheep were stored −20 °C or −80 for 0 day, 7 days, 14 30 60 120 240 days. The results showed that current temperature did not alter (p > 0.05). concentrations of ammonia, microbial crude protein, acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate, total volatile...
Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the potential effects of prolonged photoperiod on serum lipids, carcass traits, and meat quality Jinjiang cattle during winter.Methods: Thirty-four bulls aged between 14 16 months were randomly assigned two groups that alternatively subjected either natural daylight +4 h supplemental light (long photoperiod, LP) or (natural NP) for 96 days. The levels quality, genes regulating lipid metabolism in intramuscular fat (IMF) evaluated.Results:...
