Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Harmonization of welfare standards for the protection of pigs with the EU-rules: the case of Croatia [PDF]
, 2009 Three quarters of Croatian pigs are produced in small production units (1-5 sows) and on family farms with mixed farming activities. Only few farms have specialized production units with up-to-date technologies and comply with EU standards.

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia
JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Studying goose domestication through archaeological finds has been challenging due to the similar skeletal morphology of the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser). We analyzed stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes from bone collagen of subfossil domestic and potentially domestic geese to ...

Effects of Growing and Fattening Environments on Fattening Efficiencies
Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 1978 日本短角種では,寒冷な山岳地帯において生産,育成された肥育素牛は,温暖な平地に移動して肥育することにより,寒冷な平地における肥育の場合に比べて肥育効率が脂肪交雑の増大という質的な面で向上することを既に報告した1).本調査では,寒冷地において実用化されている保温および換気に留意された無窓牛舎内における肥育効率について明らかにするために,日本短角種および黒毛和種を対象として,それらの血清中のグルコース,中性脂肪,遊離脂酸,燐脂質,総コレステロールなどの濃度を測定し,その結果を前記の調査成績と比較し,脂質代謝の面から検討した.日本短角種において,無窓牛舎内に肥育されている群は,寒冷平地肥育の群とは著しくその成績を異にし,温暖な平地に移動して肥育された群とは極めて類似した成績がえられた.このことから ...
