Optimizing Cattle, Yak, Camel, and Horse Meat Processing: Species‐Sex Physicochemical Drivers
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.Species primarily determines the nutritional and processing traits of cattle, yak, camel, and horse meats; yak stands out for superior nutrition (high protein/EAA/MUFAs) but requires tenderization, while horse offers greater tenderness but has a darker color and low water‐holding capacity.

Nutrition Management Strategies for the Adaptation of Cull Beef Heifers to Feedlot
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.Providing diets with high roughage in the first days of confinement is the common way of adapting beef cattle to intensive production. However, it is possible to offer the final finishing diet from the first day of adaptation. Our objective was to compare a traditional adaptation protocol, in which animals received a diet with a higher proportion of ...

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.Many regions across New Zealand experience cold, wet winters with low pasture growth. Consequently, farmers often rely on winter forage crops to feed cows, resulting in challenges with animal welfare, environmental damage and operational difficulties. Despite the potential of off‐paddock facilities to overcome negative outcomes of crop wintering, only ...

Acidification of Biogas Residues Stimulates Manganese Uptake in Wheat
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 1, Page 49-58, February 2026.ABSTRACT Background Efficient application of organic fertilizers contributes to resource‐efficient agriculture. Acidification of liquid manure effectively reduces ammonia (NH3) emissions. However, the effect of acidification on other plant nutrients, such as Mn, often a yield‐limiting nutrient in cereal production, is not well understood.
