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.
By leveraging the contrasting photosynthetic responses of rotated US soybean (C3) and maize (C4) crops to isolate shared agronomic trends, this study reveals that rising atmospheric CO2 has driven a 43% increase in soybean yields since 1979—approximately three times higher than Free-Air CO2 Enrichment estimates—highlighting the critical role of co-evolving cultivars and management in amplifying the fertilization effect.
This study demonstrates that an *Ascophyllum nodosum*-based biofertilizer acts as a physiological buffer against triazole fungicide stress in soybean by sustaining gas exchange and photosynthetic function, even though it only partially mitigates visible phytotoxicity.
This 12-month longitudinal study at Kawasan Karst Gombong Selatan demonstrates that Kacang and Jawarandu goats grazing intact karst limestone pastures exhibit significantly elevated blood calcium and magnesium levels and superior growth rates compared to non-karst controls, despite facing a clinically relevant calcium-phosphorus imbalance and reduced iron levels caused by the unique alkaline soil chemistry.
