Comparison of the effects of rectal examination on heart rate and eye temperature in cattle of different parity

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rectal examination is a routine procedure in bovine reproductive management, but its physiological impact may vary depending on the cow's age and parity. Stress responses during such procedures can negatively affect animal welfare and compliance, especially in inexperienced animals.

Planning Crop–Livestock Integration With Social Norms: A Bio‐Economic Model Balancing Circularity and Farmer Welfare

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional crop‐livestock integration can reduce dependence on external inputs and improve circularity, but its implementation requires coordination across heterogeneous farms and may generate uneven welfare losses due to technical, economic and behavioural factors, including social norms and peer effects.

Assessing the Environmental, Economic and Social Impacts of a Greenhouse Gas Emission Tax in Swiss Agriculture

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture accounts for about one fifth of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making mitigation a key policy priority. Although policymakers are increasingly considering market‐based approaches such as taxes, their broader impacts remain insufficiently assessed.

Empirical prediction of organic matter digestibility in grasses, legumes and their mixtures from dairy farms in Atlantic Spain

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study characterized the chemical composition and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of herbage from commercial dairy farms in Galicia (NW Spain), a humid‐temperate Atlantic region, and developed empirical prediction equations for OMD based on routine wet‐chemistry traits.

Local habitat, not landscape diversity, drives richness and reproduction of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps in agricultural landscapes

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Local habitat type and hedgerow cover strongly shape bee and wasp richness, but only weakly their reproductive output, outweighing the landscape diversity effects at the 1‐km2 scale. Forests host more wasp but fewer bee species, whereas orchards support high richness of both; bee reproduction patterns are driven by one dominant species, while wasp ...
