Photorefractoriness in turkey breeder hens is affected by age and season
Poultry Science, 2002 Experiments were conducted to determine if the incidence or temporal characteristics of photorefractoriness (PR) in turkey hens were influenced by age or season. Age effects on PR were determined by comparing characteristics of PR in the same hens through two consecutive lay periods. Seasonal influences on PR were evaluated by comparing characteristics

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Feeding 600, 900, or 1200 μm corn particle sizes to early‐phase laying hens maintained stable production performance, egg quality, egg size, and fecal scores. Although average daily feed intake and yolk color exhibited a quadratic response from 24 to 30 weeks, the findings confirm that 1200 μm coarse corn is practically suitable for dietary inclusion ...

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1311-1325, August 2026.Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1188-1208, August 2026.Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...
