The effects of melatonin treatment on wool production and hair follicle cycle in angora rabbits

, 2000
The aims of this study were to examine the effect of melatonin treatment on (1) the quantity of wool production and fibre quality traits, (2) feed consumption and body weight and (3) hair follicle activity in the German angora rabbits. The study involved

Influence of Storage Time on Functional Bulk Properties of Low‐Pressure Oxygen/Argon Plasma Modified Polypropylene Fabric

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Treatment of polypropylene fabric in oxygen plasma was used to impart the fabric surface with more hydrophilic surface properties. Changes in bulk properties were minimal as the modification mainly affected the fabric surface. Bulk fabric properties water retention, moisture content and wicking were monitored over a period of 33 days.

The effects of chemical treatments on the abrasion resistance of wool fabrics [PDF]

, 1981
The low abrasion resistance of wool fabrics compared with many man-made fibre fabrics is known to be a frequent cause of consumer dissatisfaction particularly in pure wool suiting fabrics. Accordingly this project was undertaken to attempt to improve the

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Testimonial: Wool production & biodiversity working together for The McKemey Family - 'Willow Park'

, 2011
John and Helen McKemey and their children, Daniel, Hannah and David, own 'Willow Park' and nearby 'Karingal' and run the two farms as a family partnership. John's father purchased and developed 'Willow Park' in the 1940s.

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...

Integration of Nutrition and Organic Agriculture Framework in Managing Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Ruminants

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal nematode infections damage the gastrointestinal epithelial tissues of ruminants, affecting nutrient utilization and overall production performance. This review outlines host‐gastrointestinal nematode interactions and discusses integrated control strategies, including nutritional supplementation, grazing management, vaccines, and ...
