This study demonstrates that skim milk-based cryoprotectants, particularly those supplemented with sucrose for freeze-drying or sodium glutamate for long-term storage, significantly enhance the viability of wild boar-derived lactobacilli strains intended for use as probiotics in animal husbandry.
This study demonstrates that substituting refined bread flour with 25–50% whole grain flours from purple, einkorn, and spelt wheat significantly enhances nutritional profiles while maintaining acceptable technological and sensory qualities, with einkorn emerging as the most promising candidate due to its superior protein content and overall acceptability.
Supplementing pre-ruminant calves with xylan hydrolysate containing xylooligosaccharides (XOS-SCB) significantly improved intestinal health, immune function, and antioxidant status by enhancing beneficial gut bacteria, reducing pathogens, and lowering oxidative stress compared to control and inulin groups.
Topical application of dsRNA derived from the ZYMV P1 gene significantly enhances resistance in zucchini against the virus, achieving 62% protection and outperforming previous dsRNA strategies targeting other viral cistrons.
This study demonstrates that calcium supplementation mitigates drought stress in mulberry seedlings by enhancing photosynthetic gene expression and activating phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathways, as revealed through integrated physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses.
This study demonstrates that organic and natural farming systems significantly enhance soil microbial biomass, activity, and diversity compared to conventional farming in the Indo-Gangetic Plains' rice-wheat agroecosystem, thereby promoting nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, and long-term agricultural resilience.
This study demonstrates that integrating municipal solid waste vermicompost with 80–100% recommended NPK doses effectively mitigates soil co-contamination by toxic metals and pesticides while enhancing *Tagetes erecta* flower yield, with machine learning models identifying soil enzymes as key regulators of pollutant translocation dynamics.
This study demonstrates that indigenous Nguni goats preferentially select *Searsia lancea* over *Celtis africana*, a choice that significantly mitigates seasonal declines in protein digestibility and sustains nutrient supply during drought stress, though dry-season feeding still necessitates additional protein supplementation.
This paper analyzes extensive global data to reveal that negative potassium balances, driven by low fertilizer use and residue removal, threaten crop yields in many regions and necessitate a significant increase in potassium inputs to sustain future food production.
This study evaluates five Penman-Monteith-based models using four years of eddy covariance data in a Southwest China citrus orchard, revealing that the Hybrid-Dual Source (H-D) model generally outperforms others across temporal scales and growth stages while highlighting the critical sensitivity of evapotranspiration estimates to canopy resistance and soil water content.
