The potential of canola to decrease soybean meal inclusions in diets for broiler chickens

Animal Nutrition
Feedstuffs derived from canola, predominantly canola meals plus whole, ''full-fat'' canola seed, and even canola protein isolates and/or concentrates, have the potential to decrease soybean meal inclusions in diets for broiler chickens.

Fertilizer Sustainability: A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Equitable and Sustainable Soil Inputs

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern industrial agriculture is predicated largely on the production and utilization of chemical fertilizers. Although this approach has played an integral role in increasing food security in many parts of the world, the long‐term sustainability of this resource‐intensive approach is questionable.

Comparison of the effects of rectal examination on heart rate and eye temperature in cattle of different parity

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.

Combining Policy Instruments and Local Measures to Promote Agrobiodiversity Combiner instruments de politique et mesures locales pour promouvoir l'agrobiodiversité Kombination von politischen Instrumenten und lokalen Maßnahmen zur Förderung der Agrobiodiversität

EuroChoices, EarlyView.
Summary Agrobiodiversity is in decline. While the literature highlights the role of public policy in this process, a research gap remains concerning how policies can help reverse this trend by providing economic support to farms that value crop and varietal diversity. Based on desk research and expert interviews, this article first provides an overview

Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.

Effects of non‐host traces on behavioural responses of an egg parasitoid to substrate‐borne semiochemicals in a multi‐herbivore scenario

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
In open arena assays, the response of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis to substrate‐borne semiochemicals left by the host Nezara viridula was affected by the non‐host Spodoptera littoralis. Non‐host larval traces reduced T. basalis residence time spent on walking traces from gravid N. viridula females but did not affect responses to walking traces
