Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Rectal examination is a routine procedure in bovine reproductive management, but its physiological impact may vary depending on the cow's age and parity. Stress responses during such procedures can negatively affect animal welfare and compliance, especially in inexperienced animals.

Effects of irrigation and nitrogen management on phyllosphere microbial communities of silage maize [PDF]
PeerJSilage maize (Zea mays) is a significant source of animal roughage in many countries. Few studies have revealed the specific impacts of agronomic measures on harmful or beneficial microbial species (based on plant health or utilization) in silage maize ...

Feeding Practices and Welfare of Zoo‐Housed Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) on a Global Scale
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.We collected feeding and stereotypy information on 702 giraffes from 146 zoos from all over the world. Less appropriate diets were linked to more oral stereotypies. ABSTRACT Since giraffe feeding practices have only been reported for European and US facilities, this study aimed to achieve a comprehensive overview of the current giraffe feeding ...

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In agriculture, production technologies are often characterised by non‐linearities and stochastic dependence between outputs, particularly between desirable and undesirable outputs. This paper combines the copula‐based semi‐parametric framework for modelling heterogeneous dependence with the by‐production stochastic frontier approach and ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Local habitat type and hedgerow cover strongly shape bee and wasp richness, but only weakly their reproductive output, outweighing the landscape diversity effects at the 1‐km2 scale. Forests host more wasp but fewer bee species, whereas orchards support high richness of both; bee reproduction patterns are driven by one dominant species, while wasp ...

Maize silage genotype and ruminant digestion
Acta agriculturae Slovenica, 1999 Maize breeding objectives have for a long time been limited to agronomic criteria, but a high variability in nutritive value for ruminants is also observed among hybrids. Nowadays breeding takes into account the effect of chemical composition in the modification of maize nutritional value.
