Selecting the most informative variables from complex data can improve the prediction accuracy and model robustness and, consequently, the interpretability of MIR spectra. Thus, we aimed to investigate the prediction performance of feature selection methods based on MIR spectra data, using the milk fatty acid (FA) profile as an example to illustrate the evaluated procedure. Data of MIR spectra, milk test-day records, and reference FA concentrations of 155 first-parity Holstein cows were used in the analyses. Four models comprising different explanatory variables and three feature selection methods were evaluated. The results indicated that competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) method can effectively select the most informative variables from the MIR spectra, resulting in higher prediction accuracies than other variable selection approaches. The model including selected MIR spectra and cow information variables yielded the best FA profile predictions based on partial least square regression. C8:0, C10:0, C14:1, C17:0 isomers, C18:1, C18:1 isomer, medium-chain FA, unsaturation FA, monounsaturated FA, and polyunsaturated FA presented accuracies based on the determination coefficient ranging from 0.66 to 0.85 in internal validation and from 0.65 to 0.84 in external validation. The most related wavenumbers to 35 FAs were found within 1003 to 1145 cm⁻¹. Generally, using CARS and cow information improved predictions of FAs based on MIR spectra in Chinese Holstein dairy cows. Additional validation studies should be conducted as larger datasets become available.</p>","PeriodicalId":100086,"journal":{"name":"Animal Research and One Health","volume":"2 4","pages":"417-430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aro2.72","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141670074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Folic acid (FA) is a coenzyme crucial for one‐carbon metabolism. However, the mechanism by which FA mitigates FLS in laying hens remains elusive. In this study, 60 21‐week‐old Hy‐Line Brown layers were divided into three groups: the Control (Con) group, the dexamethasone (DXM) group, and the DXM + FA group. Results showed that liver index was significantly increased in the DXM group. H&E and oil red O staining showed the accumulation of lipid droplets in the liver was intensified, confirming the successful establishment of an early fatty liver model without inflammation. FA significantly reversed hepatic lipid deposition, and 57 differentially expressed genes affected by FA were identified in the transcriptome analysis. Their transcriptional and translational levels indicate that in the early FLS, insulin‐like growth factor 2/phosphatidylinositol‐3‐kinase/protein kinase B pathway related to lipid metabolism was activated; folate cycling was inhibited, while endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and apoptosis‐related protein abundance were elevated. Dietary FA enhanced the folate circulation, reduced lipogenesis and ER stress, and apoptosis‐related protein expression, thereby mitigating the lipid metabolism disturbance in FLS. Metabolomics identified 151 differential metabolites involved in early FLS occurrence, 34 of which were reversed by FA. Metabolites were also enriched in pathways related to lipid metabolism and hepatic damage. Collectively, these findings can be concluded that FA can alleviate early FLS by affecting lipogenesis, ER stress and apoptosis, which may be mediated by enhanced folate metabolism.","PeriodicalId":100086,"journal":{"name":"Animal Research and One Health","volume":"10 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141684274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, abnormal serum lipid levels suggested a disruption in lipid metabolism. Based on widely targeted metabonomic analysis of serum and cartilage tissues, a total of nine differential metabolites (DMs) significantly associated with leg abnormalities and serum calcium and phosphorus levels were screened, including carnitine C16:0, carnitine C18:1, 3‐hydroxymethyl‐L‐tyrosine, cis‐4‐hydroxy‐D‐proline, cis‐L‐3‐hydroxyproline, trans‐4‐hydroxy‐L‐proline, and so on.

To enhance the statistical power of genome-wide association study (GWAS) and further explore the genetic nature of AFF, we first conducted GWAS meta-analysis using three Yorkshire populations, and then integrated the Pig Genotype-Tissue Expression (PigGTEx) resources to interpret their potential regulatory mechanism. Additionally, we compared the AFF in pig with the age at first birth (AFB) of human using GWAS summary statistics. We detected 18 independent variants in GWAS meta-analysis and 8 genes in gene-based association analysis significantly associated with AFF. By integrating the PigGTEx resource, we conducted transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) and colocalization analysis on 34 pig tissues. In TWAS, we detected 18 significant gene-tissue pairs, such as <i>DCAF6</i> in uterus and <i>CREG1</i> in blood. In colocalization, we found 111 potential candidate tissue-gene pairs, such as <i>GJD4</i> and <i>LYPLAL1</i>. We found that the homologous gene, <i>CHST10</i>, might be the potential candidate gene between humans in AFB and pigs in AFF.

Aquaculture production has experienced rapid growth in the past 40 years and is recognized as one of the key means of addressing global food demand. However, inland aquaculture faces challenges such as water scarcity and ecological damage, leading to attention increasingly turning to the ocean. According to statistics, two-thirds of China's seafood comes from aquaculture. The reason is that China has focused on shifting from traditional fishing to systematic marine agriculture, with the core concept being the “Marine Ranching,” which views the ocean as a vast ecological management farm. The successful implementation of this concept is crucial for ensuring food security. However, the development of “Marine Ranching” requires interdisciplinary collaboration.</p><p>The special issue on “Marine Ranching” included articles that reviewed the trajectory of fish farming in Zimbabwe and provided a new perspective on the integration of aquatic pathology and nutrition for disease prevention and control. Briefly, it is well known that disease is one of the most important limiting factors for aquaculture expansion and productivity. Researchers demonstrated that ferroptosis and iron mineralization are both involved in the death and survival of fish challenged with <i>Pseudomonas plecoglossicida</i>. Additionally, they highlighted the importance of hematological parameters, particularly poikilocytosis, in the diagnosis of diseases in aquaculture. Moreover, antibiotics are frequently utilized in aquaculture to prevent and treat diseases. In the content of this issue, the potential adverse effects of inappropriate oxytetracycline use have garnered significant attention. Consequently, there has been a growing emphasis on researching more ecologically sustainable methods, such as the use of Isalo scorpion cytotoxic peptide stimulation to enhance the disease resistance of fish.</p><p>In conclusion, this special issue on “Marine Ranching” provided a platform for global interdisciplinary academic sharing.

Many scientists are studying the cognitive, emotional, and communicative capacities of a range of animals. The results of this research have led to a number of legal recognitions of the sentience of a range of animals. In 1997, the European Union (EU) gave legal recognition to the sentience of animals and updated and elevated this recognition in the Treaty of Lisbon. Other countries and states as well as the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH, formerly OIE) have followed it. Scientists are increasingly acknowledging that sentience and emotion have arisen in a wide range of species. Research now emphasizes that there is an extraordinary variation in how different animal species (such as mammals, birds, fish, or insects) perceive the world and their environment. This paper looks at the sentience of the main farmed land and aquatic animals and the implications of this for how such animals are bred and housed. The paper concludes that intensive farming systems deprive animals of opportunities for positive emotions, such as play, exploration, social interaction, and feeding to satiation, and stops them from satisfying naturally motivated behaviors. To truly respect animal sentience, production systems should be designed with the animal's characteristics and needs in mind.
