Animals, 2023 In this study, we analyzed the variation of reproductive efficiency, estimated as the deviation between the optimal and real parity number of females at each stage of the cow’s life, in 12,554 cows belonging to the Retinta Spanish cattle breed, using ...

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2020 AbstractIn Brazil, water buffaloes have been used to produce milk for mozzarella cheese production. Consequently, the main selection criterion applied for the buffalo genetic improvement is the estimated mozzarella yield as a function of milk, fat and protein production.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Horizontal visibility, rather than concealment cover, drove fawn bedsite use and predation risk. Greater field of view decreased the odds of coyote predation, likely by facilitated by early detection. As fawns transitioned from hiders to followers, they shifted from using dense overstory concealment to more open overstory that favored improved escape ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.A survey of 426 Italian farmers reveals that tolerance toward wolves varies geographically, with northern regions showing less acceptance. Negative intentions were linked to poor knowledge, while use of preventive methods fostered positive beliefs. These findings highlight the need for region‐specific, socially informed wolf management strategies in ...

Northern bobwhites select for native grasses on working grazing land
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Northern bobwhites in eastern Kentucky selected for native warm‐season grasses at multiple spatial scales in an environment dominated by exotic cool‐season grass cattle forage. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands ...

Genetic relationships between calving date, calving interval, age at first calving and type traits in beef cattle [PDF]
Livestock Production Science, 2002 In this paper the genetic relationships between major reproductive traits in beef cattle (Calving Date, Calving Interval and Age at First Calving) and type traits have been estimated to evaluate the usefulness of type classification in predicting reproductive performance in beef cattle.

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Efficient and reliable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based diagnosis of early avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) is essential for guiding treatment but remains challenging due to variability in clinician experience. Deep learning (DL) models offer a promising solution. This review evaluates and summarizes the performance

Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.

Forecasting the impact of food‐provisioning and other stressors on a marine top‐predator population
Oikos, EarlyView.Wildlife tourism can alter animal behavior, affect vital rates and diminish population viability but its impact in the context of other human‐ and environmental disturbances, remain largely unstudied. Using simulation models and leveraging a robust long‐term dataset spanning eight years, we evaluated the contribution of wildlife feeding, in the context
