This study demonstrates that dietary supplementation with marigold flower powder (Tagetes erecta) significantly improves the growth performance and productivity of commercial broiler chickens, with an intermediate inclusion level yielding the most favorable results.
This study demonstrates that rhizobacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of arugula (*Eruca vesicaria*) in aquaponic systems, particularly specific strains of *Bacillus pumilus*, *Bacillus cereus*, and *Brucella pecoris*, exhibit significant potential as biocontrol agents against *Fusarium* sp., offering a promising sustainable strategy for managing phytopathogens.
This study demonstrates that the siderophore-producing rhizobacterium *Pseudomonas fluorescens* MR8 significantly enhances iron acquisition, growth, and chlorophyll content in rice and finger millet under iron-deficient conditions, highlighting its potential as an effective bioinoculant for sustainable agriculture.
This study conducted in Southwest Shoa and Jimma Zones, Ethiopia, reveals that lamb mortality is significantly driven by gastrointestinal helminth infections (particularly *Fasciola* spp.), delayed colostrum intake, and lack of veterinary care, highlighting the urgent need for improved neonatal management and strategic parasite control to enhance smallholder sheep productivity.
This study demonstrates that in northwestern Ethiopia, the economically optimal fertilization strategy for potato production is applying 34.5 kg P ha⁻¹ combined with 200 kg K ha⁻¹, which maximizes both tuber yield and net profit for smallholder farmers.
This study establishes a reliable, low-cost method for estimating the live body weight of Kadaknath chickens using a stepwise regression equation based on closed wing length and chest circumference, providing a practical tool for managing this indigenous breed in settings lacking weighing facilities.
This study characterizes the physical and mechanical properties of Turkey oak (*Quercus cerris* L.) grown in France, revealing significant variability but confirming its high potential as a structural timber resource through strong correlations between density, visual quality, and mechanical performance.
This study demonstrates that foliar application of manganese oxide (MnO) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, particularly in combination, synergistically mitigates drought stress in two *Myrtus communis* genotypes by enhancing antioxidant defense, membrane stability, and biomass, thereby optimizing essential oil production with genotype-specific efficacy.
This study demonstrates that multispectral imaging combined with machine learning models effectively detects *Acidovorax citrulli* by achieving high accuracy in both bacterial colony identification and the discrimination of naturally infested melon seeds, offering a promising new approach for seed health testing.
This study demonstrates that juvenile gilthead seabream cultured in Red Sea conditions exhibit optimal growth, feed efficiency, and nutrient retention at temperatures between 24°C and 28°C, while exposure to 32°C significantly impairs their biological performance, suggesting that aquaculture operations in the region should avoid southern, warmer areas.
