Hence, the effects of dietary Prosopis farcta extract (PFE) on the growth parameters, digestive enzyme activity, antioxidant defense, innate immunity responses, and resistance to ammonia stress in the common carp, Cyprinus carpio, were studied. Fish (15.14 ± 0.72 g) were fed on diets without the PFE (PFE0) or those fortified with 0.5% (PFE0.5), 1% (PFE1), or 2% (PFE2) PFE for 60 days and then subjected to ammonia stress for 24 h. The growth rate, feed efficiency, and amylase-, lipase-, and protease-specific activities in the PFE1 and PFE2 treatments showed significant elevations compared to these values in PFE0. The intestinal protease-specific activity significantly increased in all of the PFE treatments compared to that in the PFE0 treatment. Serum total protein and immunoglobulin significantly increased in the PFE1 treatment, whereas serum albumin and alternative complement activity significantly increased in the PFE2 treatment compared to these values in the PFE0 treatment. The PFE2 treatment significantly mitigated post-stress elevations in serum cortisol, glucose, malondialdehyde levels, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase activities. The PFE1 treatment significantly mitigated post-stress elevations in CAT activity and decreases in SOD and lysozyme activity. In conclusion, 1-2% dietary PFE supplementation can improve the growth performance, health, and resilience to environmental stressors of the common carp.","PeriodicalId":7955,"journal":{"name":"Animals","volume":"15 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11939293/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143727613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, Fatty acid synthase (FASN) g. 16024 (A>G), Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) g. 10329 (C>T), and pleomorphic adenoma gene (PLAG1) g. 25003338 (C>G) genotypic and allelic polymorphisms were evaluated, along with their associations with fatty acid composition, adipogenic gene expression, and carcass characteristics (carcass weight, yield grade, backfat thickness, and marbling score) in Hanwoo steers. A total of 128 Hanwoo steers were selected for this study and the Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to identify polymorphism of these genes.

These visits can be stressful for animals, potentially affecting their long-term physical and emotional well-being. The aim of this study was to investigate how dog and cat owners perceive the factors influencing their pets' behavior and welfare during veterinary visits. After completing a veterinary visit, dog and cat owners filled a survey assessing their pets' behavioral responses at different stages of the consultation. A total of 94 dog and cat owners participated in this study. The findings revealed that perceived stress levels were the highest right after entering the practice but declined significantly after about 10 min in the waiting room. The owners' observations, based on their familiarity with their pets' typical behavior, were considered a useful tool for assessing the stress levels in their companion animals during the veterinary visits. Although they had the possibility to choose terms from a list of behaviors, no ethogram was provided previously or during the data collection. In conclusion, while stress remains a key concern for animal welfare, the most critical period identified was immediately before and after entering the veterinary practice. Further research is needed to better understand this crucial phase and its implications for the health and welfare of dogs and cats.","PeriodicalId":7955,"journal":{"name":"Animals","volume":"15 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11939186/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143727573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, conservation efforts, notably through the implementation of \"Project Crocodile\" in India, have led to a significant recovery of its population. The present study employs an ensemble Species Distribution Model (SDM) to delineate suitable habitats for G. gangeticus under current and future climatic scenarios to understand the impact of climate change. The model estimates that 46.85% of the area of occupancy is suitable under the present scenario, with this suitable area projected to increase by 145.16% in future climatic conditions. States such as Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam are projected to experience an increase in habitat suitability, whereas Odisha and Rajasthan are anticipated to face declines. The study recommends conducting ground-truthing ecological assessments using advanced technologies and genetic analyses to validate the viability of newly identified habitats in the Lower Ganges, Mahanadi, and Brahmaputra River systems. These areas should be prioritized within the Protected Area network for potential translocation sites allocation. Collaborative efforts between the IUCN-SSC Crocodile Specialist Group and stakeholders are vital for prioritizing conservation and implementing site-specific interventions to protect the highly threatened gharial population in the wild.","PeriodicalId":7955,"journal":{"name":"Animals","volume":"15 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11939341/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143727586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two trials were conducted with Cobb 700 and Ross 708 broilers using a randomized design with 12 diet treatments. A 30% AA reduction, compared to the high breeder recommendations for Cobb 700 and Ross 708 strains, reduced body weight in Cobb 700 broilers before 41 days and in Ross 708 broilers at 64 days, while feed efficiency declined in both strains from 0 to 41 days. A 16% AME reduction increased feed intake and worsened feed efficiency in Cobb 700 broilers before 41 days and in Ross 708 broilers from 55 to 64 days. At 55 days, reducing AAs by 20-30% or AME by 8-16% decreased feed cost per kilogram of body weight and improved economic return. However, a 30% AA reduction reduced overall profitability per bird in Cobb 700 broilers at 41 days, while a 16% AME reduction did not.

A calf daily behavior dataset containing 2918 images is selected as the test benchmark through video frame extraction; a P2 small-target detection layer is introduced to improve the resolution of the input scene, which significantly improves the model recognition accuracy, and reduces the computational complexity and storage requirements of the model through the Lamp pruning method. Comparisons are made with the SSD, YOLOv5n, YOLOv8n, YOLOv8-C2f-faster-EMA, YOLO v11n, YOLO v12n, and YOLO v8-P2 advanced models. The results show that the number of parameters, floating point operations (FLOPs), model size, and mean average precision (mAP) of the model after introducing the P2 small-target detection layer and pruning with the Lamp strategy are 0.949 M, 4.0 G, 2.3 Mb, and 90.9%, respectively. The significant improvement in each index effectively reduces the model size and improves the accuracy of the network. The detection results in complex environments with different light and shading levels show that the mAP in daytime (exposure) and nighttime environments is 85.1% and 84.8%, respectively, and the average mAP in the three kinds of shading cases (light, medium, and heavy) is 87.3%, representing a lightweight, high-precision, real-time, and robust model.
