Grazing studies were carried out over a 5-year period using pregnant cows, yearling calves and 2-year-old heifers to investigate the influence of diet on intake, methane (CH4) emissions retention nitrogen (N). Monoculture legume (birdsfoot trefoil, BFT cicer milkvetch, CMV) or grass (meadow bromegrass, MBG) pastures rotationally stocked, during year 4 5, treatments contrasted with total mixed rations (TMR) fed in confinement. The sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) method was used continuously measure...
The goal of the current study was to develop a pig model investigate oxidative stress with low negative impact on piglet welfare. Four independent trials (A, B, C, and D) were performed using single intraperitoneal shot lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an immune challenge, aiming assess minimal LPS dose for piglets different age trigger measurable acute response in healthy animals. In trial A, received 25 µg/KgBW at 41 days post-weaning (p.w.). 28 p.w., C And D, injected 50 21 respectively....
Regrouping practices are frequent in pig production, altering hierarchy and triggering aggressive behaviors. The present study aimed to investigate the physiological responses of piglets an experimental model designed induce stress through systematic social mixing two trials. In Trial A, a total 144 crossbred (25 days postweaning) housed one room within 36 pens (four piglets/pen) were used randomly assigned either control group (piglets maintained their pen, Ctrl-A) or challenge mixed,...
Considering the interconnections between human well-being, animal welfare, and environment, this study aimed to investigate impacts of drought COVID-19 pandemic on small-scale goat farmers’ well-being their perception goats’ welfare following One Welfare framework. Using a telephone survey, close-ended questions, Likert scales, we assessed in Coquimbo region Chile. The DASS-21 questionnaire was used evaluate mental health. Goat farmers perceived scarcity water food for animals as factors...
