This study assessed the influence of different dietary Cu2+ concentrations (1.48, 12.72, 27.71, 65.09, and 121.34 mg/kg) on the growth and physiology of juvenile crayfish (1.84 ± 0.01 g) during an 8-week feeding trial. A total of 500 crayfish...
Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) get seasonally restocked in the Great Lakes watershed to support local ecosystems, aquaculture and recreational fishing industry. The myxozoan parasite Tetracapsuloides bryosal...
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a zoonotic disease of major importance for cattle health, farm productivity, and public health. This study aimed to characterize the epidemiological features and assess their associations with farm characteristics of bovi...
Periparturient diseases are a major cause of economic loss and impaired welfare in dairy cattle. We screened 29 prepartum biochemistry and hematology parameters for association with retained placenta (RP), dystocia, abortion/stillbirth, ketosis, and...
Temperature is a major environmental factor influencing fish behaviour and physiological function. In the present study, adult zebrafish were exposed to 18 °C for 21 days and compared with controls maintained at 26 °C to evaluate the behaviou...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may contribute to variation in economically important body traits in yak, but variants near calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CALCRL) and mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) have not been characterized in T...
Escherichia coli (E. coli)-induced enteritis impairs intestinal barrier function, immune homeostasis, and growth performance in broilers. This study investigated whether dietary curcumin alleviates E. coli-induced intestinal injury by modulating macr...
