Managing the Environmental Impacts of Outdoor Winter Grazing by Livestock

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.
This review presents a synthesis of current knowledge about managing the potential impacts of outdoor animal wintering activities and their consequences for a range of environmental outcomes. The scope is confined to field‐based wintering approaches and thus, does not consider issues associated with the winter use of animal shelters or standoff systems.

Comparative whole-genome resequencing to uncover selection signatures linked to litter size in Hu Sheep and five other breeds

BMC Genomics
Hu sheep (HS), a breed of sheep carrying the FecB mutation gene, is known for its “year-round estrus and multiple births” and is an ideal model for studying the high fecundity mechanisms of livestock. Through analyzing and comparing the genomic selection

Selecting Promising Soil Quality Indicators for Monitoring Soil Management Effects Based on 10 European Long‐Term Field Experiments

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 499-517, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background: Soil quality can be measured through soil quality indicators that reflect soil processes. Aim: The aim of this study was to (1) identify a limited set of soil quality indicators that are most sensitive to agricultural soil management and that are widely applicable regardless of pedo‐climatic conditions, and (2) link common ...

Embryonic Mediators of Embryo–Uterus Communication, Implantation and Pregnancy

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Successful reproduction in eutherian mammals requires intimate connections between the embryo and uterus, involving adhesion, attachment and placentation, with or without invasion of the endometrium. The complex dialogue between embryo and uterus involves numerous molecules and pathways.
