Occurrence and Morphometric Characterization of Cysticercus tenuicollis in Sheep From Minas Gerais, Brazil

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In livestock production, the health of slaughtered animals is crucial to ensuring food safety. In this context, animal cysticercosis poses serious problems within production systems. Cysticercosis caused by Cysticercus tenuicollis (larval stage of Taenia hydatigena) is common in pasture‐raised ruminants.

Blood indices of sheep fed with ensiled signal grass (Brachiaria decumbens)

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 1985-2002, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Brachiaria species, particularly B. decumbens, is a key ruminant feed in the tropics but contains steroidal saponins that may cause toxicity, raising concerns for small ruminant farmers. Eighteen 6‐month‐old sheep were randomly assigned to three treatments over a 90‐day feeding trial: Negative control (fresh P.

Genomic Insights Into the Body Size Evolution in Mustelidae (Mammalia: Carnivora)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
The comparative genomic analysis of 19 mustelid species provides insights into the genetic basis of body size evolution, identifying candidate genes and pathways under selection that underlie the remarkable morphological diversity in Mustelidae. ABSTRACT The extraordinary body size diversity within Mustelidae makes this carnivoran family an exceptional

Effects of Feeding Different Diets on Carcass Performance and Mutton Quality of Horro Sheep

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
Different feeding options affect Horro sheep meat quality. Horro sheep with a high‐quality diet can produce high‐quality meat. Dolichos lablab can be used as an alternative protein source for Horro sheep fattening. ABSTRACT The study evaluated the carcass performances and meat quality of yearling Horro rams with an initial body weight of 25.35 ± 2.34 ...
