Abattoir antemortem inspection protocol: Observation of unloading improves detection of transport welfare compromises in livestock

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ensuring livestock welfare throughout the production chain, including transport, is an ethical and regulatory imperative. However, protocols to assess transport‐related welfare during routine abattoir inspections are not standardised, including antemortem (AM) inspection by an official veterinarian at UK abattoirs.

Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

Do Shifts in Migrant Labour due to COVID‐19 Affect Climate Change Adaptation Practices of Climate‐Vulnerable Farmers? Implications for the Post‐Pandemic Future

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of our study is to examine how migrant labour shifts due to the COVID‐19 pandemic influenced the adaptation behaviour of climate‐vulnerable farmers in Nepal. We examine how the resulting temporary change in climate change adaptation behaviour may be sustainable and improved after migrant labour returns to overseas employment by ...
