Temporal and seasonal trends of bovine tuberculosis in the Irish cattle population (2008–2024)
Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has substantial impacts on the Irish cattle industry. Between 2016 and 2024, its burden increased in Irish cattle. As an initial step towards understanding drivers of this increase, we explore long‐term trends in measures of bTB burden and cattle demographics in Ireland. Methods Using data from 2008 to 2024,

Abstract An anthropology of horror can serve as a vernacular critique of financial speculation. Drawing on fieldwork in San Pedro, Paraguay, I track horror across three registers: pombero tricksters; plata yvyguy (buried money) as a founding myth of postwar finance; and obligations binding sesame farmers to monsters, patrones, and creditors.

ABSTRACT Understanding how nutritional management and genetic background influence hepatic metabolism is important for improving the nutritional quality of bovine products in tropical production systems. This study evaluated breed‐associated differences under a common dietary regimen and diet‐related differences within the Nelore breed with respect to ...

Global beef production: Trends, challenges, and opportunities for sustainable development
Abstract Sustainable livestock systems require managing trade‐offs and synergies across productive, socioeconomic, and environmental dimensions to meet rising global beef demand. We present a biophysical framework to analyze how management‐driven energy allocation is manifested through herd size and total and per‐head beef productivity.

Exploring winter barley phosphorus and nitrogen needs in western Nebraska
Abstract Cropping systems in the U.S. High Plains are primarily limited by water availability and a shortened growing season due to the region's high elevations. Winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) shares similar agronomic requirements and equipment needs with winter wheat, and Nebraska's large cattle industry provides an established market for barley ...

Aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) reached saturation at approximately 10 g N m−2 year−1, while mowing increased the nitrogen saturation threshold to a higher nitrogen‐addition level. This nonlinear saturation response was mainly driven by increased dominance of the dominant species, with plant stoichiometric thresholds further promoting the ...
