Increasing winter dietary crude protein from 15% to 18% in young Angora goats significantly improved body weight gain and mohair production, particularly in males, without affecting reproductive traits at first mating.
This study demonstrates that freely available NASA POWER satellite data and regional Mesonet networks serve as viable, scalable alternatives to costly on-site weather stations for forecasting corn tar spot severity, achieving comparable prediction accuracy across multiple modeling frameworks.
This study demonstrates that maize-sorghum intercropping in arid regions enhances forage productivity and nutritional quality, with the 1M:2S ratio maximizing biomass yield and the 1M:1S ratio optimizing digestibility and energy for ruminants.
This comparative study demonstrates that red rice is nutritionally superior to white rice, offering higher levels of protein, fiber, essential minerals, and antioxidants, making it a healthier alternative despite containing higher amounts of certain antinutrients.
This paper proposes a Double Transfer Learning-based Capsule Network (DTL-CapsNet) framework that effectively classifies diseases across multiple crop species by combining pre-trained feature extraction with spatial relationship modeling, demonstrating superior accuracy over traditional CNN and transfer learning models on a heterogeneous dataset of over 21,000 leaf images.
This study utilized PCR–RFLP genotyping to determine the allelic and genotypic frequencies of polymorphisms in six genes associated with meat and milk production in Mexican Sardo Negro cattle, revealing a mix of high and low favorable allele frequencies to inform future genetic selection strategies.
This study identifies superior narrow-crown provenances of *Chamaecyparis hodginsii* and elucidates that auxin-mediated regulation of branch inclination angles, supported by specific phytohormone profiles and transcriptome changes, underpins the formation of its narrow-crown architecture.
This study reveals that while smallholder farmers in the Maputo National Park buffer zone generally recognize the importance of wildlife conservation, significant knowledge gaps regarding specific health risks and consequences of cattle-wildlife interactions persist across different proximity zones, highlighting the need for integrated One Health education and surveillance strategies.
A field experiment in Horro Guduru Wallaga, Ethiopia, evaluated eight Anchote accessions and identified Desta 01 and other well-adapted varieties as superior performers with high yields and adaptability, warranting their promotion and further research.
This study employs a genome-wide association analysis integrating morpho-physiological and molecular data on 60 black gram genotypes to identify significant marker-trait associations and superior drought-resilient lines, thereby providing valuable genetic resources for accelerating the breeding of drought-tolerant varieties.
