Gastroschisis‐Like Defect in a Crossbred Bovine Calf: Anatomical, Clinical and Surgical Perspectives

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
A gastroschisis‐like defect was observed in a one‐day‐old, crossbred bovine calf with evisceration of the pyloric abomasum and small intestine, likely resulting from prenatal rupture of an omphalocele. The calf presented with lethargy, hypothermia and metabolic derangements, along with elevated renal biomarkers.

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2214-2239, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Large‐flowered stapeliad Edithcolea grandis (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) is pollinated by dung‐ and blood‐feeding African face flies (Muscidae: Musca xanthomelas)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract The more than 360 species of stem‐succulent stapeliads in the tribe Ceropegieae represent a perfect example for species radiation and diversification in response to pollination by flies. In the majority of species, the myiophilous flowers have visual and olfactory characteristics that suggest carrion or dung mimicry.

Ethanolamine plasmalogens increase luteinising hormone pulsatility and are associated with GPR61 expression in bovine gonadotrophin‐releasing hormone neurons

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 10, October 2026.
Ethanolamine plasmalogens increased LH pulse frequency. GPR61 was expressed in GnRH neurons and gonadotrophs, suggesting a role in neuroendocrine regulation. Ethanolamine plasmalogens (EPls), but not choline plasmalogens (CPls), may act via GPR61 expressed in GnRH neurons in the preoptic area and in anterior pituitary gonadotrophs.

Determination of urinary creatinine excretion and estimation of urinary nitrogen and purine derivatives in Wagyu, high-marbling fattening cattle

Animal
To improve the efficiency of nitrogen (N) utilisation in Wagyu (Japanese Black cattle), which are characterised by a distinct muscle-to-fat ratio, accurate estimation of urinary N and purine derivatives (PD) excretion is essential for researchers to ...

Folic acid supplementation during fattening period affects growth and nutritional metabolism in Japanese Black beef cattle

Scientific Reports
The folate requirements for beef cattle have not been established. Therefore, we investigated whether rumen-unprotected folic acid supplementation during the fattening period affects carcass traits and nutritional metabolism in Japanese Black beef cattle.
