First Strike: Description of the Events at the First Salmon Farm Affected by the 2025 Algal Bloom in Northern Norway

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a threat to fish welfare, occurring suddenly and unexpectedly causing significant consequences for fish and salmon farmers worldwide. Norwegian farmers have been facing this challenge at irregular intervals since the very beginning of the industry. This report describes the events on the first fish farm affected

Effects of additives containing a novel strain on the fermentation characteristics, structural carbohydrates, and α-tocopherol content of rice straw and corn stover silages

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, 2023
A novel α-tocopherol-producing bacteria strain was isolated and identified as Bacillus tequilensis QH1 (QH1). The effects of QH1 strain inoculation alone (QH), combined with cell wall degradation enzyme (QC), or Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp ...

Ensiling of Willow and Poplar Biomass Is Improved by Ensiling Additives

Agriculture
Biomass from willow and poplar harvested for feed during the growing season may be preserved by ensiling; however, little research has focused on ensiling of these biomasses. This study focuses on the use of ensiling additives to reduce the pH to around 4.0 to secure stable storage.

Fasciola Metacercaria Contamination in Wetland Pastures and Its Association With Forage Characteristics Across Agro‐Ecological Zones: Case of Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
In Ethiopia's Gamo Zone, we found that highly palatable, protein‐rich forage species in wetlands carry the highest burden of Fasciola metacercariae. This creates a direct conflict between livestock nutrition and health, demanding integrated management strategies to mitigate disease risk.

A Diverse Pasture Grazing System Enhances Ewe and Lamb Performance Over a Three‐Year Grazing Study

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July/September 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐output pasture‐based ruminant production systems in temperate regions are typically based on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.; PRG) swards. Multispecies swards can improve animal performance; however, evidence from multi‐year, full‐system experiments remain limited.

Effects of Cottonseed Cake and Weissella cibaria on Fractionation of Carbohydrates and Proteins and In Situ Degradability in Sorghum Silages

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study aimed to estimate the fractionation of carbohydrates and crude protein (CP), and the ruminal degradation rates of dry matter (DM), CP, and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in sorghum silages. Silages were prepared with or without the addition of 10% cottonseed cake (CSC, natural matter basis) and Weissella cibaria (W. cibaria).
