Probiotics in rabbit farming: Growth performance, health status, and meat quality
The rabbit’s complex microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) plays a critical role in feed digestion, in vitamin production, in fermentative activity with production of volatile fatty acids, and stimulation of immune response, as well as in the infection defence against pathogens and countering environmental stresses. To prevent digestive disorders of this fragile ecosystem, rabbit breeders adopt suitable diets supplemented with additives such as probiotics. Probiotics can interact with the host and with the other microflora leading to an increased health status. A review on the effects of probiotics on rabbit growth performance, health status, and meat quality was conducted to reduce the incidence of digestive diseases and enhance productive performance. Some authors observed that the supplementation of probiotics to the diet improved feed conversion ratio and growth and digestion coefficients, while other authors reported a lack of effect on the live performance. Benefits derived from the use of probiotics were observed on the mortality and the morbidity. The studies performed, to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplementation in diets on the immune response, showed variations in the results. Some authors reported no significant effect on haematological parameters, such as total protein, immunoglobulins, and IgG, while others observed a significant increase or decrease of the same parameters. Most of the research reported significant modifications of intestinal morphology and positive effects on the GIT microbiota, supporting the host’s natural defences. Regarding the carcass and meat quality, the studies reported only partial and opposing results

Rabbit growth performance, carcass traits and hind leg bone characteristic as affected by sire genetic origin, slaughter season, parity order and gender in an organic production system
Live performance, carcass traits and hind leg bone characteristics of crossbred rabbits of both sexes
(Sx) of two sire breeds (SB): Vienna Blue – (VB) and Burgundy Fawn – (BF) born with different
parity orders (P: 1, 2, ≥3), reared organically and slaughtered in the spring and summer, when
they reached 2.8 kg, were evaluated. The slaughter age of VB crossbreds increased between P1 and
P2 (P<0.05). During the summer, the rabbits exhibited a higher slaughter age (P<0.01), reference
carcass yield (P<0.01), and hind leg meat-to-bone ratio (P<0.05). The P2 crossbreeds exhibited the
lowest incidence of scapular fat (P<0.05). The weights of the full gastrointestinal tract and skin were
2.4% higher and 1.5% lower in females, respectively (P<0.01), and head proportion was higher in
males (P<0.05). Females exhibited a longer femur and thicker tibia than did the males (P<0.05).
The results confirmed the slow growth rate of the crossbreds evaluated, which may represent an
interesting genetic resource for organic production of rabbits
Una villa romana nel territorio di Pollentia-Urbs Salvia: Note preliminari sulle indagini archeologiche condotte presso Villa-magna (Urbisaglia – MC)
The paper deals with the preliminary results of the investigations conducted by the University of Macerata with the collaboration of Archaeological Superintendence of Marche, in the site of Villamagna, in the territory of the colony of Pollentia-Urbs Salvia. The excavation brought to light a portion of a large roman villa. It was in use between the 1st cent. BC and the 6th cent. AD and probably it belonged to the gens Herennia, at least in its early phase
L'Arco di Traiano di Ancona tra passato, presente e futuro.
Il libro è stato stampato in occasione del cinquantennale del Rotary Club Ancona Conero. Il Club ha voluto richiamare l'attenzione su questa importante opera d'arte con la redazione e pubblicazione di uno scritto. Il Rotary Club è stato sempre sensibile alla salvaguardia della ricchezza culturale ed artistica del territorio e attento alla necessità di mantenerne viva la memoria. A causa della pandemia i lavori per un restauro dell'opera, con la partecipazione dell'Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mare Adriatico Centrale e la supervisione della Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio delle Marche, sono stati rinviati ma saranno a breve realizzati
Variability compensation for full-swing against low-swing on-chip communication.
Adaptive body bias (ABB) and adaptive supply voltage (ASV) are effective methods for post-silicon tuning to reduce variability on generic combinational circuits or microprocessor circuit sub-blocks. We focus in this work on global point-to-point interconnects, which are evolving into complex communication channels with drivers and receivers, in an attempt to mitigate the effects of reverse scaling and reduce power. The characterisation of the performance spread of these links and the exploration of effective and power-aware compensation techniques for them is becoming a key design issue. This work compares the effectiveness of ABB against ASV when put at work on two on-chip point-to-point link architectures: a traditional full-swing and a low-swing signalling scheme for low-power communication. This work provides guidelines for the post-silicon variability compensation of these communication channels, while considering realistic layout effects. In particular, the implications of cross-coupling capacitance on the effectiveness of variability compensation are analysed in this work
Branzini (Dicentrarchus labrax) di diversa provenienza e confronto organolettico delle carni
Organoleptic differences between the meat of sea basses of different origin were analyzed by mean of a triangular test. The sea basses used in the trial were captured from the fishes living in wildlife or differently farm raised. The organoleptic differences were evaluated through the study of different samples: the fishes boiled or cooked in oven, and the fish cooking waters. Every judge had to discover differences between each couple of sample of meat or water-extract in the orthogonal tests with the hidden controls. The use of the triangular test with only 9 no trained judges is sufficient to analyze fish of different origin, even if results showed that the ability to discriminate the different samples depends on the individual competence
