“…The discrepant results could be due to several reasons, su differences in the microalgae strain, inclusion level, and variations in experimental d in the conducted trials. Researchers often correct the FCR for weight differences calculate the corrected FCR, which provides a reliable comparison of dietary treatm at the same body weight [22][23][24]. In our case, the corrected FCR was reduced in th group, indicating that the trend of higher body weight gain is due to better feed effici Thus, our study confirms that the CV-based diet has a positive effect on produ performance, even when the CV biomass is supplied at a low level.…”

“…Over the whole experimental period, the FCR, corrected at a standard weight of 2250 g (FCR corrected ), was calculated. The FCR corrected is a metric that allows the comparison of feed conversion ratio for a same weight [22][23][24]. It is useful to normalize FCR when differences of body weight occur, as the FCR is sensible to body weight differences.…”

An experiment was performed to study the effects of a low inclusion level of Chlorella vulgaris (CV) biomass in broiler diets on performance, immune response related to inflammatory status, and the intestinal histomorphology. The study was performed with 120 Ross 308 male broiler chickens from 0–35 days of age. The broilers were housed in 12 floor pens (1.5 m2) bedded with wood shavings. The broilers received a three phase diet program, either with 0.8% CV biomass (CV) or without CV (CON). Each diet program was replicated in six pens. The final body weight increased (p = 0.053), and the feed conversion ratio (FCR), corrected for body weight, was reduced (p = 0.02) in birds fed CV compared to birds fed CON. In addition, decreased haptoglobins (p = 0.02) and interleukin-13 (p < 0.01) responses were observed during the grower phase of birds fed CV compared to the birds fed CON. A strong correlation (r = 0.82, p < 0.01) was observed between haptoglobin response and FCR. Histomorphology parameters of the jejunum were not different between the groups. It was concluded that the inclusion of 0.8% CV biomass in broiler diets is effective in influencing immune responses related to inflammatory status and promoting broiler growth.

“…Lomakina et al [52] argue that economic resources in the digital society will be transformed: the role of natural resources will be reduced, the development of renewable resources will be emphasised, and human resources, knowledge, and entrepreneurship will be valued. The finding of Szőllősi et al [53] at the company level indicate that a significant improvement can be achieved in profitability, competitiveness, and reducing negative environmental impacts through the complex application of state-of-the-art technologies, automation, robotics, and digitisation, as well as the necessary expertise acceptable at the national economy level. Jurčević et al [54] compared the digital development of the Croatian economy with the other EU Member States, concluding that the Croatian economy has not yet reached the expected level of competitiveness, which may be because the Republic of Croatia is lagging behind EU countries in terms of broadband internet coverage [55].…”

Convergence and the Matthew Effect in the European Union Based on the DESI Index

et al. 2022

The European Commission (EC) has monitored Member States' digital progress through the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) since 2014. The DESI index currently ranks the EU Member States and monitors their progress based on four core and 33 individual indicators. We sought to determine whether convergence between the Member States could be detected using the DESI’s annual databases. By examining the variation in the indices, we propose the existence of a so-called “Matthew effect”, i.e., the “rich get richer” syndrome among the 27 EU Member States. We also hypothesised that the COVID-19 pandemic would influence the change in the DESI. Issues investigated were those using bibliometric, statistical-mathematical methods. The σ-convergence analysis was used to estimate the reduction over time of the differences between the Member States, while the β-convergence analysis was used to estimate the rate of catching up with the initial level of development. A PCA analysis was performed to verify the Mathew effect with additional λ-variances considering real GDP per capita change. The σ-convergence was confirmed over the period 2016–2021. The β-convergence was significantly confirmed, and the research also revealed that the half-life of catching up is approximately 20 years. The suggestion of a Matthew effect in the 2016–2021 period, although not significantly confirmed, tends to suggest its existence. The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the value of the DESI index is likely to be affected, but future studies are needed to find support for this hypothesis. The study concludes that convergence between the EU-27 Member States can be detected based on the DESI, but this does not imply convergence for all four core DESI indicators.

“…For example, FCR (feed conversion ratio) for Cornu aspersum aspersum is 1.3, and for Cornu aspersum maxima it is 1.66–1.85 [ 13 , 20 , 21 ] in the internal housing system and 0.9–1.2 in the mixed system [ 9 ]. To compare FCR for cattle, pigs, chicken and fish is 6–10, 2.7–5, 1.61 and 1–2.4, respectively [ 22 , 23 ]. Live weight gain for Cornu aspersum aspersum and maxima is approximately 2 kg/m 2 .…”

The human population is growing; food production is becoming insufficient, and the growing awareness of the negative impact of traditional animal husbandry on the environment means that the search for alternative methods of providing animal protein is continuously underway. The breeding of edible snails seems to be a promising option. The most popular species of edible snails in Europe include the brown garden snail Cornu aspersum (Müller, 1774) (previously divided into two subspecies: Cornu aspersum aspersum (Müller, 1774) and Cornu aspersum maxima (Taylor, 1883)), as well as the Roman Snail—Helix pomatia Linnaeus, 1758. These animals are highly productive, require relatively little space, are easy to breed and their maintenance does not require large financial outlays. This review focuses on the prospects of food snail farming in Europe. It discusses the living conditions, the nutritional value of the snails’ meat, and the way of feeding the animals, paying particular attention to issues still not scientifically resolved, such as the need for micro and macro elements, as well as fat and carbohydrates.
