Status of On‐Farm Artificial Insemination Services and Effectiveness of Oestrus Synchronization in Dairy Cattle Under Small‐Scale Dairy Farming System

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Cross‐sectional survey and retrospective data on the oestrus synchronization were collected and analysed. The predominant mating system practiced by dairy farmers was AI (55.6%), and 73.5% of farmers apply controlled mating. The highest response rate and pregnancy rate were 89.5% and 45.2%, respectively, whereas a birth rate of 9.6%–18.5% was obtained.

Production objectives, trait and breed preferences of farmers keeping N’Dama, Fulani Zebu and crossbred cattle and implications for breeding programs

open access: yesAnimal, 2017
Many local livestock breeds in developing countries are being replaced by exotic breeds, leading to a loss of genetic resources. In southern Mali, for the past two decades, a trend towards increasing crossbreeding between the trypanotolerant N’Dama ...

Evaluation of Adaptive, Productive and Reproductive Performance of Boran Dairy Breed in the Lowland Agro‐Ecology of Kaffa Zone, South‐Western Ethiopia

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Boran dairy cattle demonstrated acceptable productive, reproductive and adaptive performance under lowland conditions of south‐western Ethiopia. Significant effects of parity and lactation stage were observed on milk yield and blood parameters, while physiological values remained within normal ranges, confirming good adaptation and potential for ...

From Yield to Flavor: The Role of Lipid Coatings in Beef Aging

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Lipid‐coated aging has been proposed as an alternative to enhance flavor, particularly using butter as a coating material (butter‐aged beef). Thus, this study compared the wet‐aged and beef‐aged with different lipid‐based coatings: milk butter (butter‐aged), cocoa butter (cocoa‐aged), pork lard (lard‐aged), and beef tallow (tallow‐aged), all ...

Forage Responses and Beef Cattle Performance in Silvopasture Systems: A Meta‐Analysis of Tropical and Subtropical Regions of Brazil

open access: yesGrass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Silvopasture systems integrate tree, forage, and livestock components, offering a sustainable intensification strategy that combines environmental and productive benefits, although shading may impose constraints on forage accumulation. This study aimed to evaluate forage accumulation, nutritive value, and beef cattle performance in pastoral ...

Genetic Parameters of Methane Emission, Feed Efficiency, Feeding Behaviour, and Growth Traits in Beef Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 4, Page 496-507, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change has intensified the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation. Genetic selection has emerged as a promising mitigation strategy; however, studies on Bos taurus indicus, especially Nellore cattle, remain limited.
