Although Wudil's peri-urban agricultural soils are generally unpolluted, the study reveals that Cadmium accumulation in vegetables poses a significant non-carcinogenic health risk to consumers, necessitating targeted monitoring and intervention despite low overall soil contamination levels.
This study demonstrates that replacing up to 50% of cottonseed cake with *Gliricidia sepium* hay in the diets of growing Bunaji bulls improves metabolic status, nitrogen retention, and rumen fermentation while maintaining nutrient digestibility, establishing it as a viable and sustainable alternative protein source.
This paper proposes "ClimateResCrop-XAI++," a novel deep learning framework that integrates enhanced soil fertility and weather data with explainability and counterfactual decision intelligence to achieve 98.86% accuracy in recommending climate-resilient crops for sustainable precision agriculture.
This study of 1,240 tie-stall dairy cows across four Sri Lankan regions identifies significant regional variations in lameness, subclinical mastitis, and hock wounds, revealing that specific flooring characteristics and hygiene management are critical, interacting risk factors that can be optimized to substantially improve cow welfare and milk production.
This study utilizes an open and reproducible workflow combining mixed models and multivariate analyses on a large spring wheat population to demonstrate that the Rht-B1p allele is the strongest multivariate discriminator for agronomic traits, while emphasizing the critical need to account for family structure to obtain unbiased effect estimates for marker-assisted selection.
This study utilized genome-wide association analysis on 57 colored wheat accessions to identify 176 stable QTLs for key nutritional traits, prioritize candidate genes, and develop validated KASP markers to facilitate the breeding of nutritionally enhanced wheat varieties.
This study assessed the genetic diversity of nutritional traits in 200 ex-situ finger millet collections from Africa, revealing significant variation in key nutrients and identifying superior Ethiopian genotypes as valuable resources for breeding programs aimed at enhancing the crop's nutritional value.
This study demonstrates that a newly synthesized p-methoxybenzylidene hydrazone derivative of mebendazole exhibits promising anthelmintic efficacy and a safe short-term profile in naturally infected domestic chickens, showing superior parasite reduction in later treatment stages compared to standard mebendazole without causing adverse hematological or biochemical effects.
This study demonstrates that a self-assembling ferritin-based nanoparticle vaccine displaying the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) spike receptor-binding domain effectively induces robust humoral and cellular immune responses, including functional neutralizing antibodies, in mice, highlighting its potential as a promising vaccine candidate against PEDV.
This study utilizes an extended Technology Acceptance Model to analyze survey data from 231 Italian farmers, revealing that while perceived usefulness is the primary driver of AI adoption, widespread implementation requires addressing persistent concerns regarding costs, technical complexity, and data security through targeted policy and support measures.
