This work is part of the Project "Miglioramento delle carni bovine,
suine e avicole attraverso l'utilizzo di sottoprodotti della filiera enologica per fini mangimistici" (Acronym: VINCARN), supported by a grant from Rural Development Plan 2007 2013 --MISURA 1.2.4--Regione Abruzzo.
faecalis strain L12, isolated from
suine in Brazil (GenBank: CP018102.1).
The need of experimental models that may reproduce human lung diseases has led researchers to study the development of the respiratory system in different species as in murines (METZGER et al., 2008),
suine (BALAZS et al., 1994), rabbit (BARONE, 1997), and non-human primates (MCCULLOUGH et al., 1978).
Table 3 reflects some characteristics of the 40 leather materials collected whose origin distribution is 5%, 22.5%, and 72.5% for ovine,
suine, and bovine, respectively.
