Effects of Toxic Fescue Exposure on Vaginal Microbial Communities of Crossbred Beef Cows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The consumption of toxic fescue by beef cattle results in several adverse physiological effects such as reduced reproductive success, severe vasoconstriction resulting in hoof sloughing, low body condition scores, hyperthermia, decreased prolactin levels,

The use of Diathermic Syncope® for stunning cattle

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the use of Diathermic Syncope® (DTS) for stunning cattle. A dossier was provided by the applicant as the basis for an assessment of the extent to which the method is able to provide a level of animal welfare at least equivalent to that ensured by ...

Smart Ungulates: What Sheep and Goats' Performances in a Reversed‐Reward Contingency Task Tell Us About the Evolution of Cognitive Flexibility

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study shows that young goats outperform sheep in the reversed‐reward contingency task, which is a cognitive test requiring both inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. The results highlight the importance of cognitive flexibility when solving this type of task, and suggest that the differences between both species may reflect social and ...

Genetic aspects of calving, growth, and carcass traits in beef cattle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The aim of this thesis was to learn more about the genetic background of calving, growth and carcass traits of beef cattle breeds in Sweden, and to assess the possibility of including calving traits and commercial carcass traits in the genetic evaluation.

Genome‐Wide Analysis of Tritipyrum HSFs and Functional Characterization of TtHSF97 for Salt Tolerance

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study focuses on the mechanism of heat shock transcription factor (TtHSF) mediated salt stress tolerance in Tritipyrum. A total of 103 TtHSF genes were identified through genome‐wide analysis, with the function of the TtHSF97 being emphasized.

Cardiac fibrosis induced by high‐fat diet in ApoE‐deficient male mice is exacerbated by genetic deletion of PACAP–PAC1 signaling

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Cardiac fibrosis is characterized by an excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins and occurs in a variety of cardiac diseases, such as the highly prevalent syndrome heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and other cardiac disorders.
