U.S. Consumer Preferences for Cage‐Free Eggs and Hen Housing Policies
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Farm animal welfare (FAW) continues to be a divisive issue in the egg industry. In the United States, 10 states and most major retailers have implemented policies or voluntary pledges to transition to 100% cage‐free egg sales. We use best‐worst scaling and discrete choice experiments to evaluate U.S.

Effect of Forage Quality on Intake and Forage-Concentrate Interactions
Journal of Dairy Science, 1986 Abstract Regulation of intake in ruminants is primarily a function of physical fill for diets that are energetically dilute and less digestible, such as high-forage diets; but intake becomes primarily a function of metabolic control for diets that are energetically dense and highly digestible, such as high-concentrate diets. Physical limitation of all-

SAMPLING TESTING FOR FORAGE QUALITY
Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 1970 The identification of the suitable sample size and adequate sampling place when alfalfa hay was chemically analyzed in order to determine its nutritional value was the aim of our test. Two loads of alfalfa hay were used for collecting samples, two sizes each (15 and 10 subsamples, variant I and II, respectively).

Deforestation and Efficiency: Insights From Forest Transition in the Brazilian Cerrado
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper estimates technical efficiency (TE) and environmental efficiency (EE) of agricultural production at the municipal level of the Brazilian Cerrado in 2006 and 2017, and investigates their underlying mechanisms in relation to forest transition theory.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

Forage Quality of Winterhardy Lovegrasses [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1986 Germplasm of Eragrostis curvula and E. lehmanniana was evaluated for in vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD), palatability (animal preference among genotypes), and forage vigor (weight/plant). Our objective was to determine if sufficient genetic variation was present among relatively winterhardy genotypes to develop new lovegrass varieties with ...

Explaining the Origin of Negative Poisson's Ratio in Amorphous Networks With Machine Learning
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This review summarizes how machine learning (ML) breaks the “vicious cycle” in designing auxetic amorphous networks. By transitioning from traditional “black‐box” optimization to an interpretable “AI‐Physics” closed‐loop paradigm, ML is shown to not only discover highly optimized structures—such as all‐convex polygon networks—but also unveil hidden ...
