Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of replacing fish oil with olive oil in sea bass diets, both with and without rosemary essential oil supplementation, over a 200-day feeding period.
- No significant differences in growth rates or flesh quality were observed among the different diet groups, but rosemary oil notably reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, extending the fish's shelf life by up to 10 days.
- The sensory quality of the fish fillets changed over time, with cooked fillet scores decreasing while fresh fillet scores increased, and the economic analysis suggested that using olive oil as a partial fish oil replacement is cost-effective.
Article Synopsis
- - Podolian cattle are well-suited to tough areas in Southern Italy and are raised by letting them graze on natural pastures, which helps their health and the quality of the meat they produce.
- - The study explored how the type of pasture (grassland or woodland) and the age when the bulls were slaughtered (14 or 18 months) affected their weight and the quality of the meat.
- - Results showed that bulls grazing on grasslands were heavier and produced better meat quality at 18 months, and letting the meat age for 9 days improved tenderness without increasing harmful substances.
The term microplastics (MPs) describes a heterogeneous mixture of particles that can vary in size, color, and shape. Once released into the environment, MPs have various toxicological and physical effects on wildlife. The Song Thrush () is a migratory species, staying in Italy in late autumn and winter.

Oregano () has a documented antioxidant activity. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with extruded linseed and oregano on goat milk quality and whether the characteristics of goat milk affect the physical and chemical features, fatty acid profile, meat lipid oxidation, and sensory properties of meat from suckling kids.

It plays a key role in many biological processes in the liver, adipose tissue, muscle, pancreas, testis, ovary and mammary gland.
