An Economic and Environmental Analysis of Virtual Fencing for Precision Grazing

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The UK grazing livestock sector is challenged by declining farm profitability and stringent environmental policy. Innovative technologies such as virtual fencing could enable a balanced economic and environmental performance of beef production. Virtual fencing is a livestock management tool relying on invisible boundaries perceived as auditory,

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Reference Intervals for Schirmer Tear Test and Intraocular Pressure in Healthy Hamdani Crossbred Sheep

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study establishes reference intervals for Schirmer tear test (STT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in healthy Hamdani crossbred sheep. STT values were lower and IOP values higher than previously reported, highlighting the importance of breed‐specific reference ranges in clinical ophthalmic evaluation.

First Serological Evidence of Foot‐and‐Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) Infection Among Sheep and Goats in Selected Districts of Central Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Serological surveillance revealed foot‐and‐mouth disease virus (FMDV) exposure for the first time in sheep and goats across the studied districts of Bangladesh, highlighting their critical role in FMD epidemiology. These findings emphasize the importance of including sheep and goats in national FMD surveillance and control programmes.

A Diverse Pasture Grazing System Enhances Ewe and Lamb Performance Over a Three‐Year Grazing Study

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐output pasture‐based ruminant production systems in temperate regions are typically based on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.; PRG) swards. Multispecies swards can improve animal performance; however, evidence from multi‐year, full‐system experiments remain limited.
