Bovine Lungworm: Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors in Haramaya Town, Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Lungworm infection, caused by a nematode parasite, leads to bronchitis or pneumonia, high‐mortality rates in cattle, and significant economic losses. Objectives This study is aimed at assessing the prevalence of bovine lungworm and identify potential risk factors in Haramaya town, Ethiopia. Methods A cross‐sectional study design was employed

Genetic Assessment of Derived Growth Curve Parameters in Sonadi Sheep Within a Breeding Flock

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
This study assessed genetic parameters of derived growth curve traits in Sonadi sheep within an organised breeding flock. Retrospective growth data from the Mega Sheep Seed Project (Sonadi Unit) was analysed using advanced growth curve models. Results provide essential genetic insights to enhance selection strategies, productivity, and profitability of

Dendroglyphs, Pictographs and Social Identity in the Wet Tropics Rainforest of Northeastern Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 119-131, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This research examines rock art and dendroglyphs in the Wet Tropics of northeast Australia to investigate their relationship to linguistic social identity. The region was selected for its complex socio‐cultural landscape, marked by a diversity of languages in a distinct, relatively small area.

Correlation and regression analysis of FA2H and ELOVL3 functional genes for cashmere fineness with production performance in Liaoning cashmere goat

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
Liaoning cashmere goat (LCG) is characterized by the highest individual cashmere yield, but its cashmere fineness tends to be coarse. Therefore, our research primarily focuses on reducing cashmere fineness. Through lipidomics screening and identification,

Effects of High Dietary Inclusion of Defatted Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) Meal as a Fish Meal Substitute on Growth, Histological Traits, and Health Performances of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The digestibility of defatted mealworm (DMW, Tenebrio molitor) and its substitution for fishmeal (FM) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diets was determined. In the first trial, a diet with 40% FM was considered as the control (Diet 1), and four other diets replaced 25% (Diet 2), 50% (Diet 3), 75% (Diet 4), and 100% (Diet 5) of FM with DMW. In the

Prediction of carcass weight using the morphometry of ankle bones in hair goats

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 4, July 2024.
The study investigated the relationship between age, sex and carcass weight in hair goats through morphometric measurements of the talus and calcaneus bones. Significant correlations were found between bone measurements (GLc and GLt) and carcass weight, with regression models predicting carcass weight with 85% accuracy.
