Oversupply of protein is a challenge in organic sow production. Currently, feed composed accordance with feeding standards conventional sows, which do not take the higher daily allowance and nutritional contribution from roughage into consideration. The objective current study was to investigate effect reduced dietary gestational compound for outdoor sows during winter conditions, using metabol...

Porcine periweaning failure-to-thrive syndrome (PFTS) is characterized by anorexia and progressive debilitation of newly weaned pigs, of which some also demonstrate repetitive oral behaviour. Although no relevant porcine pathogens have been shown to be causally associated, inoculation of susceptible pigs using tissue homogenates is needed to rule out infectious etiologies. Eight snatched-farrow...

We highlight the implications of combining underwriting services and lending for the choice of underwriters and for competition in the underwriting business. We show that cross-selling can increase underwriters’ incentives, and we explain three phenomena: first, that cross-selling is important for universal banks to enter the investment banking business; second, that cross-selling is particular...

Mispricing (the difference between prices and their underlying fundamental values) is an important characteristic of markets. The literature on the topic consists of many different measures. This state of affairs is unsatisfactory, since different measures may produce different results. Stöckl et al. (2010) partially address this problem by proposing (among other things) that measures of mispri...

The cloning and sequencing of the rbpa gene coding for a versatile peroxidase from a novel Bjerkandera strain is hereby reported. The 1777 bp isolated fragment contained a 1698 bp peroxidase-encoding gene, interrupted by 11 introns. The 367 amino acid-deduced sequence includes a 27 amino acid-signal peptide. The molecular model, built via homology modelling with crystal structures of four funga...

A GCP-controlled, randomised and blind trial used 2 layer houses naturally infested with D. gallinae. One house with space for 23,000 hens was treated with an aqueous solution (2,000 ppm Phoxim, 25 ml/hen place) twice 7 days apart. The second house with space for 21,000 hens was not treated. For quantitative assessment of mite population, 20 cardboard traps per house were deployed onto the cage...
