Food resource allocation patterns in lactating females in a long-term selection experiment for litter size in mice [PDF]

, 2002
Resource allocation patterns, as quantified by residual food intake (RFI), and the consequences for offspring development were investigated during lactation in 96 females of a mouse line selected for 104 generations for high litter size at birth (S-line)

Bacterial Diversity and Functional Dynamics in the Soybean (Glycine max L.) Rhizosphere Under Different Organic Fertilisation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Soybean (Glycine max L.) rhizosphere responses to organic fertilisation remain unknown. This study used 16S rRNA sequencing to assess microbial diversity under cattle dung and poultry manure. Results showed distinct community shifts, improved soil nutrients and stable core metabolic functions, highlighting organic inputs as sustainable strategies for ...

Temperature and Resource Supply Drive Continental Variation in Size Structure of Freshwater Food Webs

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
Biological communities exhibit a consistent negative scaling between body size and abundance, yet how this relationship responds to warming remains unclear. Using ~670,000 individual body‐size measurements from stream food webs, we show that temperature effects on size structure depend strongly on resource supply, with warming leading to less negative ...

Estimation of Poultry Litter and Its Biochar Production Potential Through Pyrolysis in Qatar

Chemical Engineering Transactions
One of the primary sources of waste in Qatar is animal waste, which includes poultry litter. Annually, Qatar produces approximately 0.83 x 106 t of poultry litter. Consequently, there is a need for a more sustainable waste treatment approach to handle it.

Exploring Perceptions of Plastic Pollution Amongst Subsistence Livestock Farmers in Subtropical Rural Communities

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract The analysis revealed that farmers in South Africa are aware of the negative impacts of plastic pollution on livestock health; however, they are constrained by a lack of waste management services, land shortages, livestock theft, climate change and limited veterinary services.

Update of the risk assessment on dioxins and dioxin‐like PCBs in feed and food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2018 risk assessment on polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL‐PCBs) in feed and food, based on the 2022 WHO Toxic Equivalency Factors (WHO2022‐TEFs).

Role of voluntary litter consumption by broiler chickens on gut function and gut health

, 2012
Poultry housed in floor pen systems are able and likely to consume litter materials from the floor. How consumption of different types of litter materials affects growth performance, nutrient digestibility, gut function and gut health in poultry is a ...

Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 3842-3852, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

Application of woody biochar and woody mulch to mitigate nitrous oxide emissions from a poultry litter-amended soil in the subtropics

, 2016
Numerous controlled-environment studies have found significant reductions in soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions following amendment of soil with woody biochar, but there is limited evidence to support these findings under field conditions.
