Uptake of Sexed Semen by UK Suckler Beef Producers [PDF]

Dairy farmers have been able to use sexed semen from dairy breeds to pre-determine the sex of calves since 2000, sexed semen from beef bulls is not currently commercially available, but is expected within 2 years.

Phylogeny Drives Carrion Consumption by Vertebrate Scavengers Towards Distantly Related Species

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
Carrion is a highly nutritious resource that plays a key role in ecosystem functioning, but may pose pathogen risks, particularly between phylogenetically close carcass‐scavenger pairs. Using camera traps, we assessed how phylogenetic distance influenced scavenging in a Mediterranean wetland.

Effects of negative pressure on boar semen quality during liquid storage at 17°C

, 2017
This study aimed to investigate the influence of negative pressure on boar semen quality during liquid preservation at 17°C. Semen samples from ten large white boars were collected and pooled, divided into four equal parts, and diluted with Modena ...

Dose-Dependent Effects of L-Serine Supplementation on Boar Sperm Quality During Chilled and Cryopreserved Storage

Animals
Boar sperm are highly sensitive to oxidative and cold-induced stress during storage, which compromises their functional integrity. This study evaluated the dose-dependent effects of L-serine, an amino acid involved in glutathione synthesis and membrane ...

Fish Mass Mortality Events Trigger Energy Transfer via Invertebrate‐Mediated Pathways at the Aquatic–Terrestrial Interface

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Animal mass mortality events are increasing under global change, generating large and unpredictable pulses of carrion that can influence ecosystem functioning. Although scavenger dynamics at individual carcasses are relatively well understood, little is known about how terrestrial vertebrate and invertebrate assemblages exploit large carrion ...

Whole Genome Characterization of Klebsiella Strains in European Hedgehogs and Human Nosocomial Settings Identified Shared Sequence Types, Antimicrobial Resistance Genes and Plasmids

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 516-527, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Klebsiella pneumoniae is a pathogen associated with healthcare‐acquired infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to beta‐lactams and carbapenems. Although wild animals are not typically exposed to antibiotics, they can harbour resistant strains. The European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is increasingly found in urban areas,

Camellia oil with its rich in fatty acids enhances post-thawed boar sperm quality

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica
Background Boar sperm are highly susceptible to specific conditions during cryopreservation, leading to a significant decrease in their fertilizing potential due to damage to their membranes.
