La relación con los animales: un nuevo ámbito de la intervención socioeducativa
2014
This article analyses the educational approaches towards the animal-human relationship which have been developed during the last 20 years. The article establishes a chain of states in that relationship and presents the reasons why those states are consecutive or, occasionally, simultaneous. Next, the different European profiles of social educators are reviewed to see which of these are more open towards educational action with animals, something which could be considered a new field for educators if they have adequate professional training. A series of European (and some American) websites are analysed in order to determine their approach towards the human-animal relationship. Although most…
¿Pueden los animales ser titulares de derechos? Algunos argumentos desde una teoría garantista del Derecho
2012
Este trabajo es el resultado de una preocupada reflexión acerca de la situación ambiental que toma las controversias a propósito de los derechos de los animales como punto de partida. En primer lugar se realizan algunas consideraciones preliminares acerca de la mirada antropocéntrica que impregna la cultura jurídica en la que a diario se mueven los juristas. A continuación se analizan seis argumentos que con frecuencia han sido presentados por quienes, desde diferentes perspectivas, consideran que los animales no pueden o no deben ser titulares de derechos. Se pretende demostrar que, desde el punto de vista de la Teoría del Derecho, tales argumentos no serían suficientes para afirmar que lo…
Recensione a: NIVARDUS GANDENSIS, Ysengrimus, Libro I, a cura di Fr. Stella, Pisa 2009 (in «Maia», n.s., 63,2, 2011)
2011
Recensione all'ediz., con trad. ital. e commento, del libro I dell'«Ysengrimus» attribuito a Nivardo di Gand, poema epico-animalesco del XII sec., curata da Francesco Stella e pubblicata nel 2009 dalla casa editrice Pacini di Pisa.
Sheep habit during hand milking, and relations between the incorrect hand milking procedure and mammary health
2023
This study aimed: (1) to evaluate the relation between the incorrect hand milking and mammary health; (2) to test the hypothesis of the ewe habit in the workstation, of their choice, during the milking. Teat moisturization with foam milk collected from the milk tank represents a high-risk factor because potentially contain mastitis-causing bacteria previously released from affected ewes. Moreover, it was found that sheep are routinary animals by habit during hand milking.
Dietary rescue of altered metabolism gene reveals unexpected [i]Drosophila[/i] mating cues
2015
Running title: Dietary rescue of metabolic mutation and reproduction; To develop and reproduce, animals need long-chain Mono and PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFAs; PUFAs). Although some UFAs can be synthesized by the organism, others must be provided by the diet. The gene desat1, involved in Drosophila melanogaster UFA metabolism, is necessary for both larval development and for adult sex pheromone communication. We first characterized desat1 expression in larval tissues. Then, we found that larvae in which desat1 expression was knocked down throughout development died during the larval stages when raised on standard food. By contrast pure MUFAs or PUFAs, but not saturated FAs, added to th…
Selected lactic acid bacteria as a hurdle to the microbial spoilage of cheese: Application on a traditional raw ewes' milk cheese
2013
To evaluate the efficacy of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to improve the hygienic safety of a traditional raw milk cheese, the raw ewes’ milk protected denomination of origin (PDO) Pecorino Siciliano cheese was used as a model system. Different Pecorino Siciliano curds and cheeses were used as sources of autochthonous LAB subsequently used as starter and non-starter LAB. These were screened for their acidification capacity and autolysis. Starter LAB showing the best performance were genotypically differentiated and identified: two strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis were selected. From the nonstarter LAB, Enterococcus faecalis, Lactococcus garvieae and Streptococcus macedonicus strains…
Chemometric Approaches to Analyse the Composition of a Ewe’s Colostrum
2023
Colostrum is a major source of immunity in lambs and, in general, in all newborn ruminants. It allows the transfer of antibodies from the ewe to the lamb, and it becomes the exclusive source of nutrients for a newborn. Among the most significant Pearson correlations, the positive correlation between the Brix refractive index (Brix) and protein (0.90) should be noted. Both parameters (protein percentage and Brix) were then positively correlated with the percentage of fat (0.38 and 0.41), urea (0.81 and 0.67), calcium (0.39 and 0.29), and magnesium (0.58 and 0.59), as well as the yellowness (0.78 and 0.75). Somatic cell count (SCC) and pH, parameters which are indicators of subclinical mastit…
Effects of diet on casein and fatty acid profiles of milk from goats differing in genotype for αS1-casein synthesis
2013
This study investigated the interactions between nutrition and the genotype at αS1-CN loci (CSN1S1) in goats, evaluating the impact of fresh forage-based diets and an energy supplement on the casein and fatty acid (FA) profiles of milk from Girgentana goats. Twelve goats were selected for having the same genotype at the αS2-CN, β- CN, and κ-CN loci and differing in the CSN1S1 genotype: homozygous for strong alleles (AA) or heterozygous for strong and weak alleles (AF). Goats of each genotype were divided into three groups and, according to a 3 × 3 Latin square design, fed ad libitum three diets: sulla fresh forage (SFF), SFF plus 800 g/day of barley (SFB), and mixed hay plus 800 g/day of ba…
Growth performance in heavy lambs experimentally treated with 17 β-estradiol
2012
European and Italian legislation have banned use of growth promoters in livestock since 1988, but epidemiological data show that anabolic drugs are still being used illegally. Recent surveys carried out on the cattle farms in Northern Italy have confirmed the presence of growthpromoting hormones. Authors report data on growth performances in 80 Valle del Belice×Comisana weaned lambs experimentally treated with 17 beta-estradiol with 0.5 ml solution of oil Depot Estradiol ® (containing 5 mg of 17β- estradiol valerate) by intramuscular injection into the thigh. The experiment was founded by the National Ministry of Health, to validate histological test for surveillance and control of growth-p…
Le complexe chasséen dans l’Yonne
2020
Je ne définirai pas ici le complexe chasséen, ce qui, par ailleurs, est fait avec brio dans le présent ouvrage. En 1864, sur la colline de Chassey étaient mis au jour les premiers tessons de ce qui deviendra, au milieu du xxe s., l’un des grands sites éponymes du Néolithique français. De nombreux préhistoriens se sont penchés sur Chassey parmi lesquels figurent J. Déchelette, V. G. Childe, J. Arnal, l’Abbé Joly et enfin, J.-P. Thevenot qui publie en 2005 sous peu la synthèse d’un siècle et de...
