Contribution of Fat Adjustment to Residual Feed Intake Estimation in Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 4, Page 602-612, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Including fat thickness as a covariate in the regression model used to calculate residual feed intake (RFI) could help preserve carcass quality traits, such as marbling, flavour and juiciness, by accounting for variation in fat deposition.

Genomic Offsets Predict Survival With Low Accuracy in a Marine Common Garden

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Predicting how populations will respond to climate change is an urgent priority in evolutionary and conservation biology. Genetic and environmental influences have long been known to impact responses to shifting climates, giving rise to the development of genomic offset methods that attempt to predict the degree of maladaptation following ...

Heavy metal retention in tissues of cattle fed high cadmium sewage sludge [PDF]

A diet containing 11.5% (dry matter basis) of a moderately high Cd sewage sludge was fed to six Hereford steers for 106 days to simulate a high sludge intake from sludge-amended soils.

Specimen‐tailored ‘lived’ climate reveals precipitation onset and amount best predict specimen phenology, but only weakly predict estimated reproduction across a clade

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 768-781, July 2026.
Summary Herbarium specimens are widely distributed in space and time, thereby capturing diverse conditions. We reconstructed specimen ‘lived’ climate from knowledge of germination cues and collection dates for 14 annual species in the Streptanthus (s.l.) clade (Brassicaceae) to ask: which climate attributes best explain specimen phenological stage and ...

Effect of Different Grinds on Digestibility and Efficiency of Pelleted Rations for Finishing Beef Cattle [PDF]

, 1959
The purpose of this experiment was to determine if the preparation of a cattle finishing ration has any effect on its digestibility and feed efficiency.Twenty head of yearling Hereford steers were individually fed for 140 days.The steers were divided ...

Multi‐generation analysis of whether local or genetically mixed populations perform best in restoration plantings

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Proper selection of genetic material is critical for restoring populations, with local seed often selected to maximize local adaptation. But if local populations are small, inbred, or maladapted, then including genotypes from various populations may enhance population growth and long‐term adaptation.

Influence of MC1R Gene Variants on Coat Color of Indicine Cattle Breeds

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Indicine cattle display a broad range of coat colors, representing a relevant and breed‐defining trait required for registration in breeder association. Among the genes involved in pigmentation, MC1R stands out for modulating the synthesis of melanin‐related proteins and remains poorly explored in indicine cattle breeds. Therefore, we aimed to

Genome Mining Approaches for Toxicant Discovery: A Case Study Examining Receptor Proteins for Pest Management in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Pest control is a global challenge for agriculture and biodiversity conservation, with the use of existing vertebrate pesticides increasingly constrained by regulatory, environmental, and social pressures. There is an urgent need for safer and more species‐selective toxicants, but the development of novel vertebrate pesticides remains technically ...

Conserved exon 2 but a highly polymorphic 5'-UTR of Tyrosinase gene in Tianzhu White yak (Bos grunniens) [PDF]

, 2014
Domestic yak plays a critical role in supporting the livelihoods of nomads in the Central Asian Highlands. Tianzhu White yak is a unique breed developed from a very small number of mutant founders and its white hair has a special niche market value.

Predictors and Clinical Outcomes of Long‐Term Opioid Therapy in Older Adults: A Systematic Review

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, Volume 46, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Older adults have a higher prevalence of pain and are more likely to receive long‐term opioid therapy (LTOT) compared to other age groups. They are also at elevated risk of opioid‐related adverse events due to physiological changes and polypharmacy.
