    • Anhedonia in pigs? Effects of social stress and restraint stress on sucrose preference 
      Figueroa Hamed, Jaime; Solà Oriol, David; Manteca, Xavier; Pérez, José; Dwyer, Dominic (Elsevier, 2015)
      The fact that consumption of normally palatable foods is affected by stress in both humans and rats suggests a means to assess hedonic reaction in non-verbal animals. However, little is known about anhedonia and stress in ...
    • Consumption patterns: A proposed model for measurement of solution palatability in pigs 
      Frías Aranda, Daniela; Tadich Gallo, Tamara; Franco Rosselló, R.; Dwyer, D. M.; Figueroa Hamed, Jaime (American Society of Animal Science, 2016)
      In animal production, the palatability of feeds or solutions has typically been inferred from measurements of preference or acceptance. However, laboratory studies in rats have demonstrated that palatability quantified ...
    • Prevalence and characterization of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli isolated from healthy cattle and ... 
      Borie Polanco, Consuelo; Monreal, Z.; Guerrero, P.; Sánchez Chong, María Luisa; Martínez, José Luis; Arellano, C.; Prado Jiménez, Valeria (1997)
      As a contribution to the epidemiology of SHU in Chile, this work was focused on cattle and pigs as a possible reservoir of EHEC. This was achieved by analyzing E. coli isolates from faecal samples of healthy animals ...
    • The use of porcine digestible peptides and their continuity effect in nursery pigs 
      Figueroa Hamed, Jaime; Sola Oriol, D.; Guzmán Pino, Sergio; Chetrit, C.; Borda, E.; Pérez, J. F. (Amer Soc Animal Science, 2016)
      A total of 552 entire male and female nursery pigs were selected to be used in 2 different experiments that aimed to study if milk ingredients can be replaced by highly preferred protein sources (Exp. 1) and if pre- and ...
