ABSTRACT Introduction Crop production has been declining in semi‐arid areas over the past two decades due to several biophysical constraints, including soil infertility and water stress induced by low rainfall. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effects of biochar and rainwater harvesting techniques on soil moisture content, bulk ...

Abstract Abiotic stressors, including drought, salinity, and heavy metal contamination, pose escalating threats to global food security, challenges further exacerbated by climate change and progressive soil degradation. As a strategic geochemical amendment, biochar is increasingly proposed to enhance soil resilience and agricultural sustainability ...

A cross‐sectional study conducted in 12 districts across four regions of Kazakhstan assessed LSDV seropositivity in cattle and livestock owners’ knowledge, attitudes and practices. Serum samples from 338 cattle were tested by ELISA, and questionnaires were completed by 533 livestock owners. Animal‐level and herd‐level seroprevalence were 23.4% and 18.8%

Prevalence of Mastitis in Cows and Raw Milk Microbial Contamination in Selected Districts, Tanzania
Cow milk produced in Tanzania suffers from poor quality due to bacterial contamination from mastitis udder predisposed by poor livestock husbandry and milk hygienic practices. The prevalence of mastitis was 75.6%, with a milk bacterial contamination rate of 78% and resistance to multiple antimicrobials. To safeguard the dairy industry and public health,
