A Lightweight YOLOv5 Target Detection Model and Its Application to the Measurement of 100‐Kernel Weight of Corn Seeds

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 100‐kernel weight of corn seed is a crucial metric for assessing corn quality, and the current measurement means mostly involve manual counting of kernels followed by weighing on a balance, which is labour‐intensive and time‐consuming. Aiming to address the problem of low efficiency in measuring the 100‐kernel weight of corn seeds, this ...

Circulating Cell‐Free DNA of Bovine Leukemia Virus: A Promising Biomarker for Enzootic Bovine Leukosis

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) in approximately 1%–5% of infected cattle after a long latent period. Few biomarkers effectively distinguish non‐EBL from EBL cattle. Given the rapid turnover of tumor cells, we hypothesized that cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma could serve as a more effective biomarker for EBL ...

Subtle stressors—Strong responses. Consistent negative effects of avian blood parasites on phenotypic and demographic traits across songbirds

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Avian blood parasites are widespread and often considered benign, yet mounting evidence suggests they subtly impair host traits. This meta‐analysis is timely and necessary to quantify their true impact across systems, challenging assumptions and highlighting overlooked consequences for fitness and population dynamics. Abstract Stressors that subtly yet

Change the world farm by farm: The moral care of audit and the paradox of animal welfare inspection in Europe Changer le monde, ferme par ferme : le soin moral de l'audit et le paradoxe des contrôles du bien‐être animal en Europe

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In European animal welfare inspection on farms and at slaughter, inspectors encounter moral challenges that reveal the paradox at the heart of animal welfare. Against the harsh realities of industrial agriculture, not only are their idealized notions of animal wellbeing unrealizable, but inspectors are instrumental in perpetuating standards of welfare ...

The influence of sex and carcass weight on carcass composition of Serrana kids

open access: yes, 2006
This work aims to evaluate sex and carcass weight effects on carcass composition of kids. Sixty Serrana kids (31 male and 29 female), a Portuguese breed, were used. Kids were slaughtered after 24 h fasting. Carcasses were cooled at 4°C for 24 h, halved and left side was dissected into muscle, subcutaneous fat, intermuscular fat, bone and remainder ...
