The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of genotypic variation on both early microbial colonization of the gut and functional development of intestinal tissue. From two genetically diverse chicken lines intestinal content samples were taken for microbiota analyzes and intestinal ti...
The experiment is part of a study aimed at identifying and studying genes that contribute to differences in oestrous behaviour expression and fertility levels of dairy cows. Samples from 4 brain areas (dorsal hypothalamus, ventral hypothalamus, amygdala and hippocampus) and the anterior pituitary we...
Transcriptional profiling of jejunum infected with Salmonella in three different chicken lines early in life. Samples were taken at 8, 24 and 48 hours post infection. Salmonella was orally ingested at day zero (hatch). test sample vs. common RNA reference pool (all chickens from control and infected...
This study was designed to address key questions concerning the use of alternative protein sources for animal feeds and addresses aspects such as their nutrient composition and impact on gut function, the immune system and systemic physiology. We used casein (CAS), partially delactosed whey powder (...
Impact of antibiotics (T2) or antibiotics in combination with stress (T3) in early life on intestinal functioning in pigs on 8, 55, 176 days in jejunum and ileum (blood only day 8) and control pigs (T1) 4 pools consisting of 16 animals were generated per time-point (day 8, 55, 176 after birth) per t...
