Dynamics of Kidney Calcium and Phosphorus Mineral Handling in Laying Hens During the Transition to Egg Production

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition from immature pullets to sexually mature female chickens is accompanied by pronounced structural and functional modifications. This is accompanied by coordinated changes in hormonal and metabolic pathways that primarily regulate reproduction, nutrient utilization, and mineral homeostasis to compensate for temporary imbalances ...

Tick‐borne diseases in subtropical dairy farming: The role of calf rearing strategies in antibody and antigen prevalence Enfermedades Transmitidas por Garrapatas en la Ganadería Lechera subtropical: El Papel de las Estrategias de Crianza de Terneros en la Prevalencia de Anticuerpos y Antígenos

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Tropical farmers try to adapt calf‐rearing systems to temperate dairy industry standards. Calves in tick‐infested areas develop stronger immunity to TBD under controlled exposure to ticks. Early tick exposure promotes sustainable management, balancing tick infestation and developing TBD immunity.

Immunodiagnostic plasma amino acid residue biomarkers detect cancer early and predict treatment response. [PDF]

Nat Commun
The immune response to tumour development is frequently targeted with therapeutics but remains largely unexplored in diagnostics, despite being stronger for early-stage tumours. We present an immunodiagnostic platform to detect this.
