Contribution of Fat Adjustment to Residual Feed Intake Estimation in Beef Cattle
ABSTRACT Including fat thickness as a covariate in the regression model used to calculate residual feed intake (RFI) could help preserve carcass quality traits, such as marbling, flavour and juiciness, by accounting for variation in fat deposition.

ABSTRACT Recent studies suggest that variations in milk yield during lactation can serve as a metric for assessing individual resilience, with minimum fluctuations reflecting greater resilience in cows. With automatic milking systems, multiple records can be obtained from many cows on a daily basis. Given that animals are continually exposed to a range

Validating gut flushing as a non‐lethal sampling technique for diet monitoring in agastric fish
Abstract Non‐lethal diet sampling is essential where individual‐level monitoring and welfare matter, yet evidence on season‐long outcomes in agastric fishes is scarce. We tested syringe‐based gut flushing in pond‐reared common carp Cyprinus carpio over one growing season (April–September) using PIT‐tagged fish assigned a priori to three handling ...
