Newsletter del proyecto NeoGiANT

El consorcio NeoGiANT es un proyecto que propone la sustitución de los antibióticos en producción animal y veterinaria por compuestos naturales antimicrobianos procedentes del orujo de la uva Albariño. El abuso de los antibióticos ha creado un gran problema sanitario, al promover la aparición de resistencias en microorganismos. NeoGiANT está contribuyendo mediante la investigación en […]

Convocatoria de contrato postdoctoral en nuestro grupo

Tenemos un contrato postdoc para 6-7 meses en nuestro grupo.

Póster presentado al ICAR 2022.

El contrato se enmarca en un proyecto para estudiar la cromatina espermática, técnicas avanzadas enfocadas a inmunofluorescencia y citometría de flujo. No es imprescindible experiencia en esas técnicas, pero sí en biología celular y molecular en general.

Survey of the Gochu Asturcelta autochthonous breed germplasm bank, new publication

A Gochu Asturcelta sow, showing features of this valuable local breed.

We have just published an article in the journal Animals, on a Special Issue on pig reproduction, on the cryopreserved semen of the Gochu Asturcelta autochthonous breed. This study has been coordinated by Dr. Néstor Caamaño and resulted from a collaboration of SERIDA […]

Avoiding the use of antibiotics in pig reproduction by using the Porcicoll™ colloid, new publication

Correlations heatmap and cladogram for the bacterial species found in the samples.

Large-volume Porcicoll™ preparation.

We have collaborated with Dr. Jane Morrell at SLU (Sweden) on a study testing the suitability of the Porcicoll™ colloid developed at her lab for removing bacteria from pig semen. This study has merited a publication in Theriogenology.

We focused on scaling up the density centrifugation technique on a low-density colloid […]

Low-density colloid as alternative to antibiotics and sperm chromatin improvement

How to replace antibiotics from current semen extenders? We are trying to advance in this topic with Dr. Jane Morrell from SLU and the Spanish colleagues from Topigs-Norsvin. We have just published an article in the Theriogenology journal in which we successfully test a prototype for processing large volumes of pig semen removing bacteria.

These […]
