Microencapsulation of probiotics by multiple emulsion using protein– polysaccharide blends: seawater stability and viability for aquaculture

This study demonstrates that microencapsulating *L. acidophilus* and *L. plantarum* via double-emulsion spray drying using a WPI/GA/MD protein–polysaccharide blend at 10% total solids effectively preserves probiotic viability and seawater stability for six months, offering a robust, sustainable alternative to antibiotics in shrimp aquaculture.

Production and evaluation of Sapota wine at different stages of fruit maturity using submerged fermentation

This study demonstrates that submerged fermentation of overripe Sapota fruits yields wine with the highest ethanol content, phenolic extraction, and sensory acceptability, highlighting fruit maturity as a critical factor in optimizing wine quality and reducing post-harvest losses.

Biochar in native Brazilian tree seedling production: growth responses to substrate replacement

A nursery experiment in Brazil demonstrated that incorporating 5–10% pruning-waste biochar into high-quality substrates does not significantly hinder the growth of five native tree species, whereas a 50% replacement rate negatively impacts development in a species- and dose-dependent manner.

Comparative Analysis of Growth Performance of Indigenous Goat Breeds in Ethiopia: A Review

This review synthesizes data from 25 studies to compare the growth performance of Ethiopian indigenous goat breeds, revealing that Begait goats exhibit the highest growth rates while Abergelle goats show the lowest, with on-station management generally outperforming on-farm systems, thereby informing targeted genetic and nutritional strategies for meat production.

Porcine-CaMo multimodal wearable ECG, kinematics and heat- production data in respirometry chambers

The Porcine-CaMo dataset is a dual-cohort multimodal resource from China Agricultural University that integrates continuously recorded wearable ECG and kinematic signals with 5-minute heat-production data from growing pigs in respirometry chambers to support research in porcine metabolic modeling, heart rate variability analysis, and cross-cohort method evaluation.

Effects of Blending Ratio and Processing Condition on Nutritional Content and Sensory Acceptability of Complementary Food Formulations from Cereal-Legume Flour Fortified with Moringa Leaf Powder

This study demonstrates that blending 10–15% Moringa leaf powder into fermented cereal-legume composite flour significantly enhances the nutritional profile (increasing protein, minerals, and vitamins while reducing anti-nutrients) and sensory acceptability of complementary food gruels, particularly when fermented for two to three days.

Light Regime Influences Genetic Variance Partitioning and Multi-Trait Selection for Yield and Harvest Synchronization in Arabica Coffee Hybrids

This study demonstrates that light regimes significantly modulate the partitioning of genetic variance and the expression of heterosis in Arabica coffee hybrids, revealing that full-sun conditions enhance additive genetic effects for yield and enable the selection of specific hybrid combinations that simultaneously maximize productivity and harvest synchronization.

Does Regenerative Agriculture Strengthen Rural Resilience? Gender-Differentiated Evidence on Productivity and Food–Nutrition Security in Rural Nigeria

Using 2023/2024 Nigerian household data and a multinomial endogenous switching regression model, this study finds that regenerative agriculture significantly boosts both agricultural productivity and food-nutrition security, with female-headed households experiencing disproportionately larger gains in nutrition outcomes compared to male-headed households.
