The dual role of calcium: From essential nutrient to limiting factor in phosphorus absorption

Calcium (Ca) is an essential mineral for skeletal development and physiological processes including blood clotting, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, enzyme activation, metabolic reactions, protein synthesis, and the maintenance of osmotic and acid-base balance.

Is dietary calcium intake necessary in fish and shrimp or deleterious?

Calcium (Ca) is an essential macro-mineral involved in many physiological processes including skeletal and exoskeleton mineralization, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, osmoregulation, and coagulation.

How to manage heat stress in ruminants?

With climate change, heat stress episodes are forecast to increase in the next years. As heat stress can have severe consequences on animal health and welfare together with negative impacts on farm performance and economy, animal husbandry needs to adapt itself to this situation.

High temperature in Pig Production: Understanding and Managing Heat Stress

Heat stress can represent a pressing concern during the summer season. With temperatures frequently above 30 degrees surpassing the 25 degrees comfort range for a pig, the physiological challenges become more pronounced.
