Machine Learning Models for Estimating Physiological Indicators of Thermal Stress in Dorper Rams in the Brazilian Semi-Arid Region

Ruminants
The present study aimed to apply machine learning algorithms to estimate respiratory rate (RR, breaths min−1) and rectal temperature (RT, °C) as indicators of thermal stress in Dorper breeding rams, based on environmental and thermal variables obtained ...

Identifying Affective Patterns in Patients With Eating Disorders: A Latent Profile Analysis

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Emotional difficulties are common among individuals with Eating Disorders (EDs). Following Panksepp's theoretical model, which conceptualises primary emotional systems as the evolutionary foundation of personality, this study aimed to identify distinct profiles of primary emotional systems within a clinical eating disorder (ED ...

Duct‐level evaluation of mammary gland health, somatic cell count and bacterial flora in lactating jennies

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Assessing mammary gland health in donkeys is challenging due to the lack of species‐specific diagnostic criteria for subclinical mastitis. Although somatic cell count (SCC) is widely used in dairy ruminants, its diagnostic value in jennies remains unclear.

Slow-Release Urea Technologies: Effects on Nitrogen Utilization and Small Ruminant Performance

Ruminants
Urea is one of the most widely used sources of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) in ruminant diets due to its low cost and high availability. However, its rapid solubilization in the rumen can result in abrupt ammonia release, leading to toxicity risks and low ...

Microbial Interventions in Processing of Plant Based Proteins: Unlocking Extraction Dynamics and Functionality for Human Health

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Fermentation enhances nutritional & techno‐functional properties of plant protein. Three distinct stages of fermentation impact on different aspects of plant protein. Fermentation induces flavors modulation through new organic compounds formation. Plant protein fermentation improves their utility in food applications.

Optimization of moisture content and application rate of hay preservative during high‐moisture alfalfa hay baling in northwestern China

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leaf shatter during low‐moisture baling and mold proliferation under high‐moisture conditions pose major challenges in alfalfa hay production. A proprietary propionic acid‐based hay preservative product, LZP, effectively inhibits microbial reproduction in high‐moisture alfalfa bales; however, its optimal moisture thresholds and ...

Modeling the impacts of grazing management on livestock behavior and performance: A case study in the Peruvian Andes

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Our modeling study shows that livestock management strongly influences grazing behavior and animal performance in the Peruvian Andes. Furthermore, adjusting stocking rates and improving animal distribution can enhance forage intake and body condition while increasing forage biomass.
