Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

NaCl-Supplemented Alfalfa-Based TMR Improves Meat Quality by Enhancing Essential Amino Acids and Optimizing Fatty Acid Profile in AOHU Sheep Under Simulated Saline–Alkaline Conditions

Foods
Saline–alkaline soils are increasingly reducing global forage productivity and may indirectly compromise the nutritional quality of animal-derived foods for human consumption.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Family Dispute Resolution in Australia: The Under‐Servicing of Indigenous, Migrant and Refugee Families Experiencing Family Violence

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Improving access to legal services for Indigenous, migrant and refugee women is critical to addressing family violence. In this context, Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) has long been discussed as a solution for separating families. This paper presents key findings of a research evaluation of an Australian Government $8.37 million pilot project

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Altered by Gold: A Comparative Zooarchaeological Analysis of 19th to 20th Century Chinese and British Migrants in Ravenswood, a Northern Queensland Gold Mining Town

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gold discoveries transformed the 19th century British colony of Queensland, Australia, driving migration, a second wave of pastoral expansion northwards, and an increasingly diverse population. This study presents a comparative and contextual zooarchaeological analysis of British and southern Chinese food waste—globally significant migrant ...

Can meta-omics revolutionize our understanding of rumen methane emissions?

Animal Nutriomics
The global challenge of methane emissions from enteric fermentation is critical, as it contributes significantly to atmospheric greenhouse gases and represents a loss of energy that could otherwise be utilized by ruminants. With the increasing demand for
