Drivers and Challenges of Micro‐Irrigation Adoption and Intensity in India: A Study of Four States

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT India's food security relies substantially on groundwater, but inefficient irrigation is seriously depleting this resource. Micro‐irrigation (MI) improves irrigation application efficiency and productivity, yet adoption remains low. This study examines MI adoption across four major Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and ...

Feed additive “Activo” influence on several antioxidant defense system parameters of sows and their progeny

Intensive farming technologies are developed primarily to maximise economic benefits. At the same time, productive animals are often exposed to many stress factors and excessive physiological stress, which subsequently leads to a deterioration in animal ...

Behavioral scans of group-housed sows with or without enrichment, at the UMN Waseca facility in April 2019

, 2019
Data files are two Excel spreadsheets, one including the continuous data, the other for the sporadic one. Lameness, parity and presence of stereoptypies are collected.Four pens of gestating sows from the University of Minnesota Southern Research and ...

Variable Rate Irrigation: A Long‐Term Simulated and Field Data Analyses of Irrigation Practices, Field Variability, Economic Feasibility and Profitability

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term economic analyses of variable rate irrigation (VRI) strategies were performed compared with uniform irrigation management (UIM) in a reference production field using the AquaCrop model. Five strategies to trigger irrigation were as follows: (Field Capacity‐VRI, Driest Soil Trigger‐VRI, Water Mining‐VRI, Conventional Uniform ...

Postpartum hypophagia in primiparous sows

, 1992
Two experiments were conducted to investigate postpartum hypophagia in primiparous sows. Sows were either fed a standard level of feed (1.85 kg/d; SL) or were allowed to consume feed ad libitum (AL) from d 60 of gestation until farrowing. After farrowing,

Antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli strains isolated from Swiss weaned pigs and sows

, 2009
Monitoring programs on the development of resistance in bacteria from livestock are implemented in many countries. The aim of this study was (i) to establish baseline data on the resistance situation of Escherichia coli from 60 Swiss pig-breeding farms ...

A Holistic Assessment of Water Footprint and Irrigation Performance Indicators With Respect to Agricultural Water Productivity

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global warming has intensified prolonged droughts in many regions, including Türkiye, resulting in growing pressure on already limited water resources. Agriculture, as the largest water‐consuming sector, faces critical challenges in sustaining productivity under increasing water scarcity. In this context, assessing water use efficiency through

Yeast protein as a fishmeal substitute: impacts on reproductive performance, immune responses, and gut microbiota in two sow hybrids

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionThe persistent African swine fever epidemic has significantly compromised China’s swine production. To accelerate production recovery, commercial farms are increasingly adopting retention of two-way backcross sows (Landrace × Yorkshire ...

A Coupled AquaCrop–Richards Model for Improved Crop Yield Prediction Through Physically Based Soil Water Dynamics

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop modelling is essential for agricultural water management but often relies on simplified water balance routines that limit representation of soil moisture dynamics. To address this limitation, we developed a coupled model that integrates the 1‐D Richards equation, solved using a finite difference method into the FAO AquaCrop.

Evapotranspiration Estimation and Irrigation Performance Assessment Using Remote Sensing: A Case Study of the Ergani Dam Irrigation System (Turkey)

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient water resource management is critical for sustainable agriculture, with evapotranspiration (ET) serving as a key parameter. Remote sensing (RS) techniques offer cost‐effective approaches for ET estimation and irrigation performance assessment in extensive agricultural systems.
