Preference assessment and reinforcer effectiveness in domestic cats

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Volume 126, Issue 3, November 2026.
Abstract Understanding domestic cat (Felis catus) preferences is important for identifying effective reinforcers that can support training, enrichment, and welfare. We assessed preference across three stimulus categories (food, toys, and social interaction) using free‐operant assessments with four adult cats in familiar home environments.

Porous Poly(ε‐Caprolactone)/Keratin Composite Scaffolds: Structural Features, Degradation Behavior and Cell‐Material Interactions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 40, October 20, 2026.
ABSTRACT Porous scaffolds based on pure poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and on biocomposite made of PCL and feather‐extracted β‐keratin (FK) were fabricated by salt‐leaching method. FK was incorporated into PCL to address the limited bioactivity and hydrophobic nature of PCL, with the aim of improving cell–material interactions for bone tissue engineering ...

Inverse Vulcanized Sulfur Polymer Composites From Poultry‐Industry Products and Lignocellulosic Biomass Waste

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 39, October 15, 2026.
This work explores the use of various fillers, including eggshell powder, feather meal, peanut hulls, and sawdust to reinforce a base binder GFS90 (comprised of 90 wt.% sulfur, 5 wt.% chicken fat, and 5 wt.% sunflower oil). The resulting composites showed impressive compressive strengths ranging from 15.3 to 36.2 MPa, making them a potential ...

Genome‐Wide Association Analysis of Hippocampal Neuroplasticity as an Indicator of Stress Responsiveness in Laying Hens (Gallus gallus domesticus)

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental stressors in commercial poultry systems can negatively affect bird welfare, although individuals vary considerably in their responses. Neuroplasticity within the hippocampus, measured through the density of doublecortin‐positive (DCX+) neurons, provides a potential biomarker of stress experience in laying hens.
