This study in Ethiopia demonstrates that while female sexed semen significantly enhances farm profitability and female calf production compared to conventional methods, its overall effectiveness is currently constrained by inferior semen quality and variable field-level artificial insemination efficiency.
This study evaluates 19 time-series models to forecast Somalia's meat production from 1961 to 2024, identifying ARFIMA and ARIMA–NNAR as the most accurate tools and projecting a future stabilization or decline that signals the need for data-driven, shock-responsive livestock management strategies.
This study demonstrates that foliar application of chitooligosaccharides (COS), particularly at 0.3 g/L, significantly enhances potato growth, yield, and stress tolerance under saline-alkaline field conditions by improving ion homeostasis, boosting antioxidant defense, and increasing osmoprotectant levels.
This study integrates transcriptomics and metabolomics to reveal that the superior edible quality of specific foxtail millet varieties is driven by the upregulation of flavonoid and terpenoid biosynthesis pathways, which promote beneficial metabolite accumulation while simultaneously suppressing defense responses and pectin synthesis to reduce bitterness and optimize grain texture.
This study characterizes the seasonal population dynamics of the citrus psylla *Diaphorina citri* in semi-arid Indian orchards as being driven by host flushing and specific climatic conditions, while identifying thiamethoxam plus lambda-cyhalothrin as the most effective chemical control and biopesticides as viable, predator-friendly alternatives.
This study demonstrates that the Kombucha microbiome functions as a context-dependent microbial biostimulant for tomato, where its efficacy on growth, flowering, and redox metabolism is significantly influenced by formulation, dosage, and application route, with low-to-moderate doses generally offering the most balanced physiological benefits compared to commercial fertilizers.
This study analyzed 240 ready-to-eat food samples and found that while over half were contaminated with *E. coli*, a significant portion contained pathogenic strains such as EPEC, EHEC, and EAEC, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring of these foods to prevent diarrheal diseases.
This study demonstrates that optimizing *Bacillus subtilis* fermentation conditions, specifically using a 24-hour duration and 1% inoculation ratio, significantly enhances the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of Black Soldier Fly Larvae hydrolysates, making them a viable functional ingredient for food and feed industries.
This study demonstrates that combining seed scarification with biomolecule-rich extracts from *Trichoderma orientale* and *Pereskia aculeata* significantly enhances the germination speed, seedling growth, and biomass accumulation of *Urochloa brizantha* by overcoming physical seed barriers and providing physiological support.
This study demonstrates that intermittent harvesting of *Chlorella vulgaris* significantly enhances biomass productivity and pollutant removal efficiency when treating biohydrogen production tail liquid, achieving optimal results with a 40% effluent concentration and 50% biomass harvest after 168 hours.
