Effects of Nutritional Factors on Fat Content, Fatty Acid Composition, and Sensorial Properties of Meat and Milk from Domesticated Ruminants: An Overview

Animals
The meat and milk products from domesticated ruminants are important foods within a balanced diet, offering a rich source of energy, protein, fats, minerals, and vitamins.

Comparative functional morphological study of the tarsal joint mobility in artiodactyls and perissodactyls in light of astragalar morphological differences

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.

Incorporating the Competencies of Evidence‐Based Veterinary Medicine Focused on Pharmacotherapeutics Into Clinical Rotations for Small Animal Dermatology and Food Animal Medicine and Surgery at a Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in the US

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building the skills and knowledge necessary to practice evidence‐based veterinary medicine (EBVM) should occur throughout the veterinary curriculum. Operationalizing EBVM includes asking a clinical question in PICO format, searching the biomedical literature for evidence, critically appraising the evidence, and applying the evidence to make a ...

Rational Design of Nanobodies Targeting LINGO‐1

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, April 2026.
We rationally designed and recombinantly produced a panel of single‐domain antibodies (nanobodies) targeting the human transmembrane protein LINGO‐1, a key player in multiple sclerosis. ABSTRACT The leucine‐rich repeat and immunoglobulin‐like domain‐containing Nogo receptor‐interacting protein 1 (LINGO‐1) is a transmembrane protein expressed in neurons

Weighting fibre and morphological traits in a genetic index for an alpaca breeding programme

Animal, 2014
Nowadays, the fibre diameter (FD) is considered the main selection objective in alpaca populations all over the world. International Committee for Animal Recording recommendations define the FD and its CV as the first two traits to be considered in ...

Rational Design of Optical Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube‐Based Nanosensors with Biological Recognition Elements

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
This Review focuses on assessing and providing perspective on the field of rationally‐designed optical sensors constructed with single‐walled carbon nanotubes. The literature is reviewed and evaluated for SWCNT‐based sensors constructed with biomolecular recognition elements, including proteins, peptides, and oligonucleotides, as well as their methods ...

Evaluation of factors associated with immunoglobulin, protein, fat and lactose concentrations in colostrum of dairy cows from Austria

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica
Background Calves rely on the passive transfer with immunoglobulins derived from colostrum. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on colostrum management practices and colostrum quality on small scale family-owned dairy farms in Austria. The objectives

Bacterial Communities in the Alpaca Gastrointestinal Tract Vary With Diet and Body Site

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Gut -associated microbes (‘gut microbiota’) impact the nutrition of their hosts, especially in ruminants and pseudoruminants that consume high-cellulose diets. Examples include the pseudoruminant alpaca.

DNA Nanostructure‐Templated Multivalency Enables Broad‐Spectrum Virus Inhibition

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
A honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructure is introduced that organizes nanobodies or aptamers into trimeric clusters mirroring the native hemagglutinin arrangement on influenza viruses. This geometry‐matched multivalency enhances binding avidity by up to 1000‐fold, resulting in robust, broad‐spectrum viral neutralization and a 30–55% improvement in host ...
