Lumpy skin disease (LSD) poses a significant transboundary threat to livestock health and productivity, especially in regions where vector-borne transmission is a major driver of spread. Environmental and climatic factors are recognized as critical d...

Poly (I:C), a viral mimic, is capable of activating the antiviral immune mechanisms in teleosts. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional responses of Ussuri Catfish (Pseudobagrus ussuriensis) to poly (I:C) stimulation at 3 and 48 h, focusi...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is an inflammatory joint disease and the leading cause of musculoskeletal disability affecting human and veterinary patients. New therapeutics halting inflammation while preserving joint homeostasis remain a critical need. Voltage...

The rabbit industry urgently needs natural alternatives to maintain gut health. This need is growing due to the higher incidence of intestinal problems in antibiotic-free production systems. Pfaffia glomerata (Brazilian ginseng) is a medicinal plant...

Under tropical conditions, seasonal variations may also influence the sperm characteristics of Bos indicus. The objective was to evaluate the motility of thawed sperm of bulls from the Peruvian tropics throughout the year. Over 24 months, 129 ejacula...

Weaning is one of the most challenging stages in a piglet’s life, with multiple stressors contributing to poor gut health. For several years, zinc oxide (ZnO) was the preferred means of promoting a healthy gut and preventing post-weaning diarrh...

Based on fundamental mechanics, movement and force associate head and pelvic movement asymmetry with asymmetry of force production. We investigate, how often racehorses undergoing strenuous training regimens show evidence of switching between “...

In space environments, microgravity, high radiation, and weak magnetic fields induce behavioral alterations in animals, resulting in erratic movement patterns that complicate tracking. These challenges impede accurate behavioral analysis, especially...

Avian influenza (AI), particularly the H5 subtypes, poses a significant and persistent threat globally. While the influence of environmental factors on AI seasonality is recognized, a comprehensive understanding of the hierarchical and interactive ef...

The growing demand for sustainable and antibiotic-free animal production has intensified interest in probiotics as functional feed additives. In this study, novel strains of Weizmannia coagulans (WC412 and WC413) were isolated from pickle water&mdash...
