This study characterizes the morphological diversity of 43 *Coffea canephora* accessions in Nigeria's germplasm collection using thirteen traits, revealing substantial phenotypic variation and identifying plant height and leaf length as key discriminators to guide future genetic improvement programs.
This study reveals that Nigerian smallholder farmers' fall armyworm management is driven almost exclusively by prior personal experience with outbreaks rather than socioeconomic factors, creating a "reactive trap" where areas without current infestations remain unprotected and preventive measures are neglected until damage occurs.
This study demonstrates that the antibacterial efficacy of *Lactiplantibacillus plantarum* cell-free supernatants against various foodborne pathogens is significantly influenced by the drying method and encapsulation material, with freeze-drying combined with sodium caseinate yielding the highest bioactivity and spray-drying with maltodextrin proving more favorable for specific applications.
This study demonstrates that tropical fruits, particularly pineapple, serve as viable feedstocks for sustainable ethanol production through optimized alcoholic fermentation and fractional distillation, achieving high yields and separation efficiency confirmed by thermodynamic modeling and pilot-scale simulations.
This study demonstrates that a functional beverage formulated with 70% sugarcane and 30% Moringa stenopetala (product CM10) exhibits superior levels of essential minerals, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and antioxidant activities compared to other formulations and pure sugarcane.
This cross-sectional study of German dairy farms identifies bedding material, dry matter content, and pH as key factors influencing initial bacterial loads in fresh bedding, though these advantages diminish rapidly after three days of use, highlighting the need for management strategies that optimize fresh bedding quality while minimizing moisture accumulation and contamination during use.
This study of Bankura district, West Bengal, highlights how the region's heavy reliance on chemical fertilizers and lack of institutional support for organic alternatives hinder sustainable waste management, underscoring the urgent need for an integrated system to convert agricultural waste into valuable resources in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 12.
This study demonstrates that dietary supplementation with 10 kg/t of *Zingiber officinale* (ginger) powder effectively mitigates the adverse effects of *E. coli* O78 infection in Ross 308 broilers by restoring growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and hepatic and renal function to levels comparable to healthy controls and commercial phytobiotic treatments.
This study utilized infrared thermography and segmented regression analysis to determine breed-specific lower and upper critical temperature thresholds for Jamunapari and Barbari goats under sub-tropical thermal stress, revealing that Jamunapari goats exhibit greater surface temperature fluctuations than Barbari goats across varying body sites.
This study presents the first camera-trap evidence of sarcoptic mange lesions in a wild golden jackal in Nepal's Terai Arc Landscape, highlighting potential cross-species transmission from domestic dogs and the need for enhanced disease surveillance.
