Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 383-396, March 2026.
We tested a suite of ecological hypotheses to explain variation in seasonal body mass dynamics of a fat‐storing mammalian hibernator. We further demonstrated that pre‐hibernation mass gain in ground squirrels mediates an annual allocation trade‐off between current and future reproduction as the squirrels forage and rear young under predation risk ...

Change the world farm by farm: The moral care of audit and the paradox of animal welfare inspection in Europe Changer le monde, ferme par ferme : le soin moral de l'audit et le paradoxe des contrôles du bien‐être animal en Europe

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 55-74, March 2026.
In European animal welfare inspection on farms and at slaughter, inspectors encounter moral challenges that reveal the paradox at the heart of animal welfare. Against the harsh realities of industrial agriculture, not only are their idealized notions of animal wellbeing unrealizable, but inspectors are instrumental in perpetuating standards of welfare ...

INSL3 Expression in Leydig Cells is a Biomarker for Immunocastration in Boars: Transcriptional Evidence

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 782-795, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Study aimed to obtain insights into physiological responses to immunocastration in pubertal boars by evaluating effects of alternative vaccination protocols and identifying a reliable immunocastration biomarker. Objectives It was hypothesized that the timing of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) suppression by immunocastration ...

Heavy-Light Decay Constants with Dynamical Gauge Configurations and Wilson or Improved Valence Quark Action

, 1999
We describe a calculation of heavy-light decay constants including virtual quark loop effects. We have generated dynamical gauge configurations at three $\beta$ values using two flavors of Kogut-Susskind quarks with a range of masses.

Science, Policy, and Public Expectations: A Qualitative Investigation of Consumer Perspectives on Cultured Meat

Business and Society Review, Volume 131, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Radical innovations, such as cultured meat, have emerged as potential pathways toward more sustainable food systems. Their societal impact, however, hinges on public acceptance, which is often challenged by the uncertainty surrounding unfamiliar food technologies.

Supplementation with Norgold Concentrate + Molasses-Urea at 3% to Grazing Zebu Bovines During the Growing or Fattening Stages in the Dry Season

Revista de Producción Animal, 2016
To determine the production potential of grazing Zebu bovines, using Norgold concentrate + molassesurea at 3% during the growing and fattening stages, 60 young bulls with similar weights and breed characteristics were used.

Purchase and production optimization in a meat processing plant

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 1016-1051, March 2026.
Abstract This paper addresses an optimization problem concerning the purchase and subsequent material processing in a meat processing company. Unlike the majority of existing papers, we do not concentrate on how this problem concerns supply chain management, but we focus on the production stage, primarily the meat cutting.

Genome-Wide Transcriptome Profiling Reveals the Mechanisms Underlying Hepatic Metabolism under Different Raising Systems in Yak

Animals
Yak meat is nutritionally superior to beef cattle but has a low fat content and is slow-growing. The liver plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism, and in order to determine whether different feeding modes affect lipid metabolism in yaks and how it is ...

Along the Silenced Footsteps of Latin American Pastoralists: From Mexico to Argentina, a Journey Through Pastoral Systems in Latin America

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Pastoralism worldwide faces a complex landscape of increased pressures and exclusion. Beyond ecological and economic challenges, pastoralists suffer eroding cultural identity, limited generational renewal, and political marginalization. Yet pastoral livelihoods are increasingly recognized as stewards of sustainable futures and amongst the best
