Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a vector-borne disease transmitted by different mosquito species, especially Aedes and Culex genus, to animals and humans. In November 2018, RVF re-emerged in Mayotte (France) ...
Improving animal health on organic dairy farms: Stakeholder views on policy options
(MDPI, 2020-04-09)
Although ensuring good animal health is a stated aim of organic livestock farming and an important reason why consumers purchase organic products, the health states actually achieved are comparable to ...
Scientific opinion concerning the killing of rabbits for purposes other than slaughter
(Wiley, 2020-01-10)
Rabbits of different ages may have to be killed on-farm for purposes other than slaughter (where
slaughter is defined as killing for human consumption) either individually or on a large scale (e.g. ...
Evaluating the potential role of tryptophan in calf milk replacers to facilitate weaning
