Animal welfare certification schemes in a knowledge society: A fair transition from inputs to outputs as a driver of animal empowerment
(Animals, 2025-09-30)Although concern for animal welfare may have been linked to humans since the domestication of livestock, the term itself first appeared in the United Kingdom in the 1960s. The emergence of the concept ... -
Water sources shape drought effects on mammal activity in mediterranean woodlands
(Mammalian Biology, 2025-07-08)Drought frequency and severity have notably increased in the Mediterranean basin throughout the 20th century, thereby impacting freshwater sources and forest regrowth, which are crucial for woodland ... -
Impact of Organic and Conventional Agricultural Management on Subsurface Soil Microbiota in Mediterranean Vineyards
(Agronomy, 2025-08-20)The impact of long-term organic (ECO) versus conventional (CON) agricultural management on subsurface soil microbiota diversity and soil physicochemical properties remains unclear in Mediterranean ... -
Heat Stress and Betaine Affect Lipolysis in Pig Adipose Tissue Explants
(Animals, 2025-09-29)Heat stress (HS) is an environmental variable challenging pig production worldwide. It may alter carcass composition by increasing fat deposition but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Betaine is ... -
Exploring the therapeutic potential of recombinant bovine β-defensins for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory functions in sepsis management
(Veterinary Research, 2025-09-02)β-defensins are multifunctional peptides of the host immune system involved in responses to infectious diseases. We investigated the potential of five recombinant proteins based on bovine β-defensins ... -
Benefits of a Preceding Legume Crop for Soil Organic Matter and Microbial Dynamics During Wheat Residue Decomposition
(Soil Use and Management, 2025-07-31)The decomposition of crop residues is essential for maintaining soil fertility and can be influenced by agronomic practices. This study assessed how preceding crops (pea or triticale) and fertilisation ... -
Interactions of insect pests, diseases, and Sub1 rice varieties across agro-climatic zones in Assam: insights for strengthening resilient rice cultivation
(Frontiers in Sustanaible Food Systems, 2025-08-29)This study investigates the prevalence and interaction of insect pests and diseases across the agro-climatic zones of Assam, which are deployed with submergence-tolerant (Sub1) rice varieties. Utilizing ... -
Can we mitigate pain associated with castration in beef cattle at early (<6 months of age) ages? A review from a Canadian perspective
(Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 2025-07-09)The objective of this paper was to review the literature regarding castration method, age, and pain mitigation strategies assessed in young beef calves under 6-months-of-age, summarize study findings ... -
