This study aimed to investigate the effects of farrowing and rearing systems on tail lesions and losses of docked and undocked pigs.Pigs from three farrowing systems: Conventional farrowing crate (FC), free farrowing (FF) and butterfly cupcake liners group housing of lactating sows (GH) were randomly allocated to different rearing systems: A conven
Experienced entropy drives choice behavior in a boring decision-making task
Abstract Boredom has been defined as an aversive mental state that little giant chick brooder kit is induced by the disability to engage in satisfying activity, most often experienced in monotonous environments.However, current understanding of the situational factors inducing boredom and driving subsequent behavior remains incomplete.Here, we intr
Expression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa CupD fimbrial genes is antagonistically controlled by RcsB and the EAL-containing PvrR response regulators.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative pathogenic bacterium with a high adaptive potential that allows proliferation in a broad range of hosts or niches.It is also the causative agent of both acute and chronic biofilm-related infections in humans.Three cup gene clusters (cupA-C), involved in the assembly of cell surface fimbriae, have been shown
