This study presents a checkpoint-based hybrid Transformer-CNN framework that fuses temporal flock monitoring data with poultry image analysis to achieve highly accurate, explainable early prediction of *Escherichia coli* infection risk in broiler chickens, thereby enabling proactive management and transparent decision-making in precision poultry farming.
Through a participatory, expert-driven approach involving over 75 global stakeholders, the STAR IDAZ International Research Consortium developed strategic research roadmaps to guide investments and accelerate the delivery of safe, effective alternatives to antimicrobials in animal health to combat antimicrobial resistance.
This study utilizes RNA-seq analysis to reveal that carvacrol combats copper-resistant *Xanthomonas euvesicatoria* pv. *perforans* by rapidly collapsing the proton motive force and impairing the copper resistance pathway, thereby distinguishing its mode of action from traditional copper bactericides.
This study demonstrates that natural *Theileria annulata* infection in cattle induces significant oxidative and nitrosative stress while compromising liver and bile duct function, suggesting that antioxidant supplementation could serve as a beneficial adjunctive therapy.
This study of 2,980 Holstein cows in Egypt over five generations (1996–2022) reveals that while genetic upgrading significantly increased per-lactation milk yields and reduced health issues like mastitis and lameness, it simultaneously led to deteriorated reproductive efficiency, shortened productive careers, and reduced longevity due to the mismatch between high-metabolic demands and local environmental conditions.
Drawing on primary data from 358 markets across six Sub-Saharan African cities, this paper estimates there are approximately 27,800 traditional food markets today and projects their future evolution through 2050 via five scenarios, arguing that local government decisions regarding these markets will critically shape the continent's food security, economic development, and sustainability.
Although France maintains high national self-sufficiency in calories and macronutrients, its food system harbors hidden vulnerabilities in micronutrient and unsaturated fat supply due to reliance on limited, spatially concentrated, and partially import-dependent sources, which hinders the transition to healthier, sustainable diets.
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 26 primary studies in Ethiopia demonstrates that small-scale irrigation significantly increases smallholder farmers' income by approximately 74% compared to rainfed agriculture, thereby improving overall rural household welfare.
This study validates the high accuracy and reliability of SLAM-based systems for measuring diameter at breast height and detecting trees in commercial eucalyptus plantations in Paraguay, demonstrating performance comparable to traditional manual inventory methods.
This study of 150 horse owners in South Gujarat, India, reveals a moderate adoption of equine management practices characterized by strengths in hygiene but significant deficiencies in nutrition, hoof care, and healthcare, driven by constraints such as high costs and a lack of technical knowledge, ultimately highlighting the urgent need for improved extension services and veterinary infrastructure to enhance horse welfare.
