In recent years, the role of the microbiota has proved to be extremely important in medicine as one of the most important aspects for the characterization of living beings in both healthy and pathological conditions. Moreover, the development of shotgun technology, and in particular the cheaper 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing, made possible its wide diffusion. In veterinary sciences, microbiome studies have seen applications not only in medicine in the strict sense (e.g diagnosis) but also, for example, in food inspection (quality, fraud, etc.) and in animal feed preparation itself. However, focusing on microbial profiling by 16S rRNA sequencing, there are several crucial aspects to be considered: from the experimental design definition and the sample size problem to the data analysis steps. This latter involves several layers, e.g. which 16S rRNA databases to use, which metrics for alpha and beta diversity, etc. In this work, we want to present, as a case study, a critical discussion about the large number of alpha and beta diversity metrics and their impact in the statistical comparisons among groups.
近年来,微生物群在医学中的作用已被证明是极其重要的,它是描述健康和病理状态下生物特征的最重要方面之一。此外,霰弹枪技术的发展,特别是成本更低的 16S 核糖体 RNA(rRNA)基因测序技术的发展,使其得以广泛传播。在兽医科学领域,微生物组研究不仅应用于严格意义上的医学(如诊断),还应用于食品检验(质量、欺诈等)和动物饲料制备本身。然而,在通过 16S rRNA 测序进行微生物分析时,有几个关键方面需要考虑:从实验设计定义、样本量问题到数据分析步骤。后者涉及多个层面,如使用哪种 16S rRNA 数据库、哪种α和β多样性指标等。在这项工作中,我们希望通过案例研究,对大量的α和β多样性指标及其在组间统计比较中的影响进行批判性讨论。

Traditional approaches to protect agricultural crops are based on the use of chemical pesticides. Nevertheless, these products are costly, contaminate the environment and are harmful to animals and humans. Reduction or elimination of chemical applications in agriculture is extremely needed, and the application of biostimulants and biological control agents is an efficient alternative for an eco-sustainable agriculture. This study demonstrated that formulations based on fungi belonging to Trichoderma genus had beneficial effects on forage crops and significantly affected plant metabolome. 
保护农作物的传统方法是使用化学杀虫剂。然而,这些产品成本高昂,污染环境,对动物和人类有害。减少或消除农业中的化学应用是非常必要的,而应用生物刺激剂和生物防治剂是生态可持续农业的有效替代品。本研究表明,基于毛霉属真菌的制剂对饲料作物有益,并对植物代谢组有显著影响。

Sulfonamides represent a wide class of synthetic drugs commonly used in veterinary therapy for the treatment of several bacterial and protozoan infections in cattle, swine and poultry. The use of these drugs in farming can lead to the possibility of having their residues in animal products intended for human consumption. Consequently, to ensure high consumer protection, for sulfonamides European Union (EU) set a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) equal to 100 µg/kg, either as a single molecule or as a sum of all detected compounds within the class). Official laboratories are directly involved in the execution or residue plans by developing, validating and then applying analytical methods for the measurement of drug residues. Accordingly, official laboratories should update their procedures following the evolution of required drugs and MRLs. A multiclass method previously developed and validated for the determination in animal muscle of ten classes of antibiotics was adjusted to comply with the current European requirements which establish the minimum set of sulfonamides to be determined. Therefore, eight new sulfonamides were added assessing method performance characteristics according to European Regulation (EU) 808/2021.
磺胺类药物是兽医治疗中常用的一类合成药物,用于治疗牛、猪和家禽的多种细菌和原生动物感染。在养殖业中使用这些药物可能会导致其残留在供人类食用的动物产品中。因此,为确保对消费者的高度保护,欧盟(EU)规定磺胺类药物的最大残留限量(MRL)为 100 微克/千克,既可以是单个分子,也可以是该类药物中所有检测到的化合物的总和。)官方实验室通过开发、验证和应用药物残留测量分析方法,直接参与残留计划的执行。因此,官方实验室应根据所需药物和最高残留限量的变化更新其程序。之前开发和验证的用于测定动物肌肉中十类抗生素的多分类方法经过调整,以符合当前欧洲的要求,其中规定了需要测定的磺胺类药物的最低限量。因此,根据欧洲法规(EU)808/2021,增加了八种新的磺胺类药物,以评估方法的性能特征。

The aim of this study was to characterize eight mixed forages preserved as hays produced in four agricultural and livestock farms located in four Provinces (Avellino, Benevento, Campobasso, and Potenza) of Southern Italy, different for environmental condition. Nutritive value, in vitro fermentation characteristics and kinetics, including methane production were determined. The little differences observed between sampling areas highlighted that the forage produced in Avellino area is the most interesting in terms of chemical composition, nutritive value, in vitro characteristics, and environmental impact. Data obtained allow having more information about hays produced in the study area, useful for farmers to make balanced rations, to maintain animal health and guarantee high quality of production. 
本研究旨在分析意大利南部四个省(阿韦利诺省、贝内文托省、坎波巴索省和波坦察省)不同环境条件下的四个农牧场生产的八种作为干草保存的混合牧草的特征。测定了营养价值、体外发酵特性和动力学,包括甲烷的产生。不同取样地区之间的差异很小,这表明阿韦利诺地区生产的牧草在化学成分、营养价值、体外发酵特性和环境影响方面最值得关注。所获得的数据使我们能够获得更多关于研究地区所产干草的信息,这对农民平衡日粮、保持动物健康和保证高质量生产非常有用。

Texture of meat is a critical parameter of consumer’s acceptability. In this regard, aging technology has become essential to enhance meat tenderness and flavour. The present study evaluated the effect of dry-aging on the rheological properties of cooked and raw meat (Longissiumus dorsi) using objective instrumental measurements: colorimeter (CIEL*a*b*), texture profile analysis (TPA-test) and Warner Bratzler shear force test (WBSF-test). In this study, a monitored refrigeration device was used for 60 days of dry aging of meat. Physical-chemical analyses were also evaluated on raw meat. The analyses were carried out at 2 (T0), 15 (T1), 30 (T2) and 60 (T3) days post-slaughter. During dry aging, aw values tended to decrease while the pH values increased. The mayor color changes occurred in the first 15 days of dry aging. As regard the texture traits, significant differences were found between the cooked and raw meat mainly due to the effect of temperatures on collagen. The correlation data showed significant positive correlations between WBSF and hardness values. Results showed that aging time and cooking tended to decrease the hardness and shear force implying more tender meat for the consumer.
肉的口感是消费者能否接受的一个关键参数。因此,老化技术对于提高肉的嫩度和风味至关重要。本研究采用客观的仪器测量方法:色度计(CIEL*a*b*)、纹理轮廓分析(TPA-测试)和 Warner Bratzler 剪切力测试(WBSF-测试),评估了干陈对熟肉和生肉(Longissiumus dorsi)流变特性的影响。在这项研究中,使用了监控制冷装置对肉类进行 60 天的干燥老化。还对生肉进行了物理化学分析评估。分析分别在屠宰后 2 天(T0)、15 天(T1)、30 天(T2)和 60 天(T3)进行。在干老化过程中,aw 值呈下降趋势,而 pH 值则呈上升趋势。市长的颜色变化发生在干制老化的前 15 天。在质地特征方面,熟肉和生肉之间存在显著差异,这主要是由于温度对胶原蛋白的影响。相关数据显示,WBSF 和硬度值之间存在明显的正相关。结果表明,老化时间和烹饪往往会降低硬度和剪切力,这意味着消费者能吃到更嫩的肉。

Exercise tests are indicated for the evaluation of a horse’s physical condition and for the analysis of poor athletic performance, often associated with discomfort during training or competition that creates excessive stress in the animal. In order to understand the different biological mechanisms of adaptation to exercise-induced stress, a large amount of data need to be collected in real time, to obtain what is called “deep phenotyping” (DEPH) that opens the way to the full exploitation of omic techniques. The aim of the study is the configuration of innovative low-cost sensors for real time detection of crucial stress parameters that will allow early identification of metabolic dysfunctions preserving the horse’s welfare.
运动测试适用于评估马匹的身体状况和分析运动成绩不佳的情况,这些情况通常与训练或比赛过程中造成马匹过度紧张的不适有关。为了了解适应运动引起的压力的不同生物机制,需要实时收集大量数据,以获得所谓的 "深度表型"(DEPH),从而为充分运用 omic 技术开辟道路。这项研究的目的是配置创新型低成本传感器,用于实时检测关键的压力参数,以便及早识别代谢功能障碍,保护马匹的健康。

Anaerobic digestion can provide a valuable aid to manure management while producing renewable energy. Biogas production is highly dependent on the size and composition of livestock farms, and the availability of fresh manure can vary throughout the year, limiting reliable assessment of potential production. The aim of this study is to develop an affordable GIS-based analysis to support manure management, based on a highly detailed livestock farm database. Databases refer to the years 2013 and 2019 and report the herd consistency and the age of each class head. Kernel density (KD) was used to identify emerging hotspot areas with potentially high concentrations of nitrogen applied to the field. Three KD classification methods were compared: defined interval (DI) into 3 classes (0-170, 170-340, > 340 kg N/ha), quantile (Q) and natural break (NB). The results show that the DI and NB areas correspond to 40 % and 84 % of the total N of buffalo origin in the Campania region, with a N surplus in the hotspot areas localized in nitrate vulnerable zones of 55 and 6 % respectively. The biogas produced from 50 % of the buffalo manure in these areas generates sufficient energy to allow the removal of the N surplus.
厌氧消化可为粪便管理提供宝贵的帮助,同时生产可再生能源。沼气生产在很大程度上取决于畜牧场的规模和组成,而且新鲜粪便的可用性一年四季都可能不同,这限制了对潜在产量的可靠评估。本研究的目的是以高度详细的畜牧场数据库为基础,开发一种经济实惠的基于地理信息系统的分析方法,以支持粪肥管理。数据库涉及 2013 年和 2019 年,报告了畜群的一致性和每类牲畜的年龄。内核密度(KD)用于识别新出现的热点区域,这些区域可能是氮肥施用量较高的区域。对三种 KD 分类方法进行了比较:将定义区间(DI)分为 3 个等级(0-170、170-340、>340 千克氮/公顷)、量值(Q)和自然断裂(NB)。结果表明,DI 和 NB 区域分别占坎帕尼亚地区水牛源性氮总量的 40% 和 84%,硝酸盐易受影响区的热点区域氮过剩量分别为 55% 和 6%。这些地区 50% 的水牛粪便产生的沼气产生的能量足以清除过剩的氮。

This study seeks to evaluate a prototype's effectiveness in safeguarding livestock against wolf attacks. With an increasing imperative to protect livestock from predation, the prototype's performance was systematically examined under diverse conditions. The study primarily aimed at assessing the prototype's ability to detect wolf attacks by analyzing noise variations inherent to predator assaults. Simultaneously, the prototype aimed to mitigate livestock casualties and foster coexistence between wolves and livestock. A series of controlled experiments were meticulously carried out, replicating real-world wolf encounter scenarios.

With an increasing imperative to protect livestock from predation, the prototype's performance was systematically examined under diverse conditions. The study primarily aimed at assessing the prototype's ability to detect wolf attacks by analyzing noise variations inherent to predator assaults. Simultaneously, the prototype aimed to mitigate livestock casualties and foster coexistence between wolves and livestock. A series of controlled experiments were meticulously carried out, replicating real-world wolf encounter scenarios. The findings yield valuable insights into the prototype's practical utility and its potential to mitigate conflicts between predator populations and livestock farming.
