Soluble sugars in feeds are important for ruminant production; however, performing numerous sugar analyses within a short period is a laborious task. Here, we developed a phenol-sulfuric acid (PSA) assay in a microplate format to quantify soluble sugars in ruminant feeds. This method is easy and quick and requires only a small quantity of harmful…[Read more]

A number of measures necessary for its efficiency are emerging, which could give rise to avenues of reflection articulated in 3 axes making the system less abstract, in particular by identifying LISPs at the level of services and strengthening the information transmitted with regard to the system, developing support by EMSPs, and questioning the…[Read more]

We estimated allelic frequencies of 23,412 SNPs in 156 landraces representing American and European maize diversity. Modified Roger’s genetic Distance between 156 landraces estimated from 23,412 SNPs and 17 simple sequence repeats using the same DNA bulks were highly correlated, suggesting that the ascertainment bias is low. Our approach is…[Read more]
