Use of Colostrum Enriched with Specific IgY for the Prevention of Diarrheal Infections in Newborn Calves
Background. Newborn ruminants are born agammaglobulinemic, and colostrum quality (IgG concentration) is often insufficient, especially in heifers, leading to high morbidity and mortality from diarrheal infections. Objective. To develop and evaluate colostrum enrichment with specific egg yolk…

Can Artificial Plantings Resemble Natural Vegetation? Preliminary Evidence from a Quercus robur L. Stand in Mediterranean Italy
The understorey vegetation of mature Quercus robur L. mixed forests (MF) was compared for richness and composition with that of natural forest gaps (FG) and of 30-year-old artificial Q. robur plantations (AF) in Mediterranean Italy. Richness was similar in AF and MF and was almost double in FG, due…
