Uncovering Biogas Outcomes: Tales of Hubris, Hope, and Failure From Southern Malawi

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to speak directly to biogas failure. Over the past two decades, immense amounts of money have been spent by African governments, private individuals, and most conspicuously, international aid agencies and donors, on countless biogas projects in every country on the continent.

Antimicrobial Use in Livestock: The Economic Cost of Action or Inaction

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper quantifies the economy‐wide consequences of two independent global stress‐tests in livestock production. The first assesses the effects of phasing out antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs), and the second evaluates the long‐term impacts of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) progression.

Re‐thinking peripheral dysfunctions in obesity: The emerging role of sulphaceutics and sulphanutraceutics

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, multisystem disease in which cardiometabolic risk arises from excess adiposity and progressive dysfunction of peripheral organs, ultimately disrupting endocrine and metabolic crosstalk among tissues. Within this network, sulphur‐based biology, centred on hydrogen sulphide and related reactive sulphur species, has ...

Genetic Evaluation of Pure Line Laying Hens Based on Crossover Testing Data From Simulated Populations

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Commercial laying hen breeding programs aim to maximize the performance of crossbred animals. However, selection is usually based on data from pure lines raised in controlled nucleus environments, which may not fully predict the yields under commercial conditions.

Feeding Laboratory Mice: Comparing a Standard Versus a Purified Diet – Marked Effects on Digestive Physiology

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diet composition and processing have a major impact on its utilisation by the animal, as is known from farm and pet animal species. This includes effects on energy and nutrient digestibility, the intermediary metabolism, and the intestinal microbiome, with all the resulting impacts. For laboratory animals, data is scarce on influencing factors

Effects of Dietary Activated Charcoal Supplementation on Performance, Egg Quality, and Bone Calcification in Laying Hens Exposed to High Fluoride

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of high dietary fluoride intake on performance, egg quality, serum biochemical parameters, bone tissue, mineral accumulation, and the expression of selected mineralisation‐related genes in laying hens, and to evaluate whether these effects could be alleviated by dietary activated ...
