This study establishes a reliable, low-cost method for estimating the live body weight of Kadaknath chickens using a stepwise regression equation based on closed wing length and chest circumference, providing a practical tool for managing this indigenous breed in settings lacking weighing facilities.
This study characterizes the physical and mechanical properties of Turkey oak (*Quercus cerris* L.) grown in France, revealing significant variability but confirming its high potential as a structural timber resource through strong correlations between density, visual quality, and mechanical performance.
This study demonstrates that foliar application of manganese oxide (MnO) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, particularly in combination, synergistically mitigates drought stress in two *Myrtus communis* genotypes by enhancing antioxidant defense, membrane stability, and biomass, thereby optimizing essential oil production with genotype-specific efficacy.
This study demonstrates that multispectral imaging combined with machine learning models effectively detects *Acidovorax citrulli* by achieving high accuracy in both bacterial colony identification and the discrimination of naturally infested melon seeds, offering a promising new approach for seed health testing.
This study demonstrates that juvenile gilthead seabream cultured in Red Sea conditions exhibit optimal growth, feed efficiency, and nutrient retention at temperatures between 24°C and 28°C, while exposure to 32°C significantly impairs their biological performance, suggesting that aquaculture operations in the region should avoid southern, warmer areas.
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 studies demonstrates that supplementing small ruminants with yeast direct-fed microbes, particularly live *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* at low doses, significantly enhances growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and carcass traits while reducing cooking loss.
This study reveals that water deficit is the dominant constraint overriding sulfur deficiency effects on pea growth and nutrient uptake during vegetative development, while highlighting complementary adaptive strategies in drought-sensitive (root plasticity) and drought-resilient (enhanced nodulation) genotypes that offer valuable traits for breeding stress-resilient varieties.
This study demonstrates that pulsed electric field (PEF) pretreatment at 20 pulses significantly enhances the drying efficiency and preserves the quality of squid undergoing hot-air-assisted radio frequency drying by creating a porous microstructure, outperforming both brining and ethanol dehydration methods.
Based on survey data from 650 Chinese banana farmers, this study reveals that while organic fertilizer application initially increases carbon emissions, it ultimately enhances soil fertility and farmer income through quality-driven price premiums, suggesting that differentiated policies and carbon-sink mechanisms are needed to maximize its synergistic ecological and economic benefits.
This study integrates ethnobotanical data from Liguria and Piedmont to demonstrate that the erosion of foraging knowledge threatens the in-situ conservation of crop wild relatives, arguing that ethnobotanical surveys should be routinely incorporated into national inventories of plant genetic resources.
