Animal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 314-321, August 2026.The effects of restricted nursing (RN) and the administration of a bovine appeasing substance (BAS) on days −8 and 0 in relation to weaning were evaluated. Both strategies were effective in improving the growth performance of beef calves. Regarding welfare, BAS ‐especially on day 0‐ was more effective than RN.

Food Availability Cannot Explain Dispersal and Settlement Decisions of a Grassland Bird
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We test a commonly assumed explanation for animal movements—namely that food availability shapes where animals disperse to. Based on the results of four strong predictions, 3 years of data, and hundreds of individual birds, we show that food cannot explain breeding dispersal in this system, and we propose alternative explanations consistent with our ...

Ashwagandha: Is It Safe? Part 2: A Preclinical Evidence Review
Phytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 4792-4801, August 2026.ABSTRACT The preclinical evidence for the safety of ashwagandha ( Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, AS) is reviewed, and its preparations (extracts) and constituents, from the general toxicity in animal models to in vitro and cell culture studies, which may elucidate mechanisms of action and explain clinical case reports. Most studies and reviews conclude
