Moreover, the development of shotgun technology, and in particular the cheaper 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing, made possible its wide diffusion. In veterinary sciences, microbiome studies have seen applications not only in medicine in the strict sense (e.g diagnosis) but also, for example, in food inspection (quality, fraud, etc.) and in animal feed preparation itself. However, focusing on microbial profiling by 16S rRNA sequencing, there are several crucial aspects to be considered: from the experimental design definition and the sample size problem to the data analysis steps. This latter involves several layers, e.g. which 16S rRNA databases to use, which metrics for alpha and beta diversity, etc. In this work, we want to present, as a case study, a critical discussion about the large number of alpha and beta diversity metrics and their impact in the statistical comparisons among groups.","PeriodicalId":37987,"journal":{"name":"Acta IMEKO","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140368784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of these drugs in farming can lead to the possibility of having their residues in animal products intended for human consumption. Consequently, to ensure high consumer protection, for sulfonamides European Union (EU) set a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) equal to 100 µg/kg, either as a single molecule or as a sum of all detected compounds within the class). Official laboratories are directly involved in the execution or residue plans by developing, validating and then applying analytical methods for the measurement of drug residues. Accordingly, official laboratories should update their procedures following the evolution of required drugs and MRLs. A multiclass method previously developed and validated for the determination in animal muscle of ten classes of antibiotics was adjusted to comply with the current European requirements which establish the minimum set of sulfonamides to be determined. Therefore, eight new sulfonamides were added assessing method performance characteristics according to European Regulation (EU) 808/2021.","PeriodicalId":37987,"journal":{"name":"Acta IMEKO","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140375478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, aging technology has become essential to enhance meat tenderness and flavour. The present study evaluated the effect of dry-aging on the rheological properties of cooked and raw meat (Longissiumus dorsi) using objective instrumental measurements: colorimeter (CIEL*a*b*), texture profile analysis (TPA-test) and Warner Bratzler shear force test (WBSF-test). In this study, a monitored refrigeration device was used for 60 days of dry aging of meat. Physical-chemical analyses were also evaluated on raw meat. The analyses were carried out at 2 (T0), 15 (T1), 30 (T2) and 60 (T3) days post-slaughter. During dry aging, aw values tended to decrease while the pH values increased. The mayor color changes occurred in the first 15 days of dry aging. As regard the texture traits, significant differences were found between the cooked and raw meat mainly due to the effect of temperatures on collagen. The correlation data showed significant positive correlations between WBSF and hardness values. Results showed that aging time and cooking tended to decrease the hardness and shear force implying more tender meat for the consumer.","PeriodicalId":37987,"journal":{"name":"Acta IMEKO","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140374067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biogas production is highly dependent on the size and composition of livestock farms, and the availability of fresh manure can vary throughout the year, limiting reliable assessment of potential production. The aim of this study is to develop an affordable GIS-based analysis to support manure management, based on a highly detailed livestock farm database. Databases refer to the years 2013 and 2019 and report the herd consistency and the age of each class head. Kernel density (KD) was used to identify emerging hotspot areas with potentially high concentrations of nitrogen applied to the field. Three KD classification methods were compared: defined interval (DI) into 3 classes (0-170, 170-340, > 340 kg N/ha), quantile (Q) and natural break (NB). The results show that the DI and NB areas correspond to 40 % and 84 % of the total N of buffalo origin in the Campania region, with a N surplus in the hotspot areas localized in nitrate vulnerable zones of 55 and 6 % respectively. The biogas produced from 50 % of the buffalo manure in these areas generates sufficient energy to allow the removal of the N surplus.","PeriodicalId":37987,"journal":{"name":"Acta IMEKO","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140378117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
