Luca Lo Verso et al.
This study aimed to determine the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA) co-contamination on systemic immune responses and intestinal mucosal immunity in weaned piglets, and to evaluate the mitigating ability of antioxidant s...

Estimating individual dry matter intake (DMI) on pasture remains costly, labor-intensive, and episodic. We developed a deployable sequence model to predict daily, per-animal DMI using walk-on scale weights, metered water intake, animal meta...
The impact of supplementing quebracho and chestnut tannin extracts on the growth performance in growing and finishing beef cattle: A meta-analytical assessment [0.03%]
Mingyung Lee,Luis O Tedeschi
Mingyung Lee
Tannin extracts (TE), composed of condensed tannins from quebracho and hydrolyzable tannins from chestnut, have been studied as functional feed additives to improve growth performance in beef cattle, but reported effects vary with TE compos...
BAE-LiteNet: a lightweight behavior-aware network with diffusion-based augmentation for sow estrus vocalization recognition [0.03%]
Yingying Lv,Jianping Wang,Yuzhen Song et al.
Yingying Lv et al.
Accurate recognition of sow estrus vocalizations is essential for reproductive management in pig farming but remains challenged by the scarcity of samples, environmental noise, and deployment constraints. This study proposes BAE-LiteNet, wh...
Development of a Hair Follicle Reconstitution Model utilizing Cashmere Goat Hair Follicle Stem Cells [0.03%]
Sihang Zhao,Yumeng Fang,Zhiying Dong et al.
Sihang Zhao et al.
Cashmere is a rare animal-derived fiber with substantial economic value. Here, we established a hair follicle reconstitution model using secondary hair follicle stem cells from Cashmere goats (gSHFSCs). This model enables direct assessment ...
Genome-wide association studies for feed efficiency, production and feeding behaviour traits in Canadian purebred Duroc pigs [0.03%]
Belle Kim,Duy Ngoc Do,Mohsen Jafarikia et al.
Belle Kim et al.
This study aimed to identify potential genetic variants and candidate genes associated with feed efficiency (FE), production, and feeding behaviour traits in Canadian purebred Duroc pigs. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were conducte...
Effects of dietary starch concentration and feeding management regimen on bacterial pathogens in liver abscesses and ruminal and colonic epithelial tissues in feedlot steers [0.03%]
Kasi N Schneid,Mina Abbasi,J Daniel Young et al.
Kasi N Schneid et al.
This study evaluated the main and interactive effects of dietary starch concentration (49.1% [control] or 64.4% [high starch]) and feeding management regimen (regular [REG] or erratic [ERR]) on prevalence of Fusobacterium necrophorum subsp....
Effects of stocking density on growth, physiological, and puberty responses of replacement beef heifers reared in drylots [0.03%]
Camila P Prado,Reinaldo F Cooke,Shea J Mackey et al.
Camila P Prado et al.
This experiment evaluated growth, physiological responses, and puberty attainment in heifers reared in drylots with different stocking densities. A total of 240 heifers (75% Angus × 25% Brahman) were used. Heifers were ranked by age (270 ...
