Comparative Insights into Bovine and Non-Bovine Milk: Composition, Technology, and Nutritional Perspectives
Abstract: Milk has long been regarded as a universal food, providing essential nutrients to humans across cultures and generations. While bovine milk, particularly from cows and buffaloes, dominates global dairy production and consumption, non-bovine milks, such as those from goats, sheep, camels, donkeys, and yaks, also play a significant role in human nutrition, especially in regions where they are traditionally consumed. The comparative study of bovine and non-bovine milk is increasingly …

A Novel Direct Weighted Deviation (DWD) Method for Agricultural Enterprise Selection: A Case Study of Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu
Abstract: The study proposes a novel Direct Weighted Deviation (DWD) method for Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) by eliminating normalization, distance metrics, and pairwise comparisons. DWD is thereafter used to evaluate and select ten rainfed agricultural enterprises against ten generic and context-specific viability criteria in Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu, a water-scarce region in India. Subsequently, other methods (AHP, SAW, WPM, and TOPSIS) are used to obtain a comparative second opinion and validate …

Valorization of Human and Cattle Dental Waste into Functional Composite Biomaterials: A Detailed Comparative Analysis
Abstract: This study investigates the conversion of human and cattle (goat and cow) teeth into bioactive hydroxyapatite-based composites and presents a detailed comparative evaluation of these biogenic materials with laboratory-synthesised (synthetic) hydroxyapatite (HAp). In this work, hydroxyapatite was extracted from human and bovine teeth through controlled calcination and milling, while synthetic HAp was prepared using a standard wet chemical precipitation route. All materials were subsequently sintered at 900 °C and fabricated …

Veterinary Mycology: Fungal Infections in Livestock and Companion Animals
Abstract: Fungal infections represent a significant yet often underestimated challenge in veterinary medicine, affecting both livestock and companion animals. Veterinary mycology encompasses a diverse group of pathogens, including yeasts, molds, dimorphic fungi, and dermatophytes, that can cause localized or systemic diseases with substantial health, economic, and zoonotic implications. In livestock species, such as cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, pigs, horses, and camels, fungal infections manifest as dermatophytosis, mycotic mastitis, aspergillosis, keratomycosis, and …

Use of Modified and Unmodified Calcium Oxide from Bio-resources as Heterogeneous Transesterification Catalyst for Biodiesel Synthesis: A Review
Abstract: Metal oxides have been widely used to catalyze various types of organic reaction, whatever supported or nonsupport metal oxide catalysts (supported with metal, mixed oxides and acids such as sulphoric acid). Calcium oxide is one of the most metal oxides used as heterogeneous catalysts; due to its favorable properties such as high activity, availability, low cost, and easily separated, as well as environmental friendly. Calcium oxide whether laboratory, prepared from …

Smart Crop Protection and Animals Detection System In Farm Areas
Abstract: Fields on plantations are frequently harmed by animals such as buffaloes, cows, goats, birds, and wild elephants. Farmers suffer significant losses as a result of this. Farmers are unable to defend their fields for 24 hours. To address this issue, an animal detection system has been developed that detects the presence of animals and provides a warning before diverting the animal without injury. The proposed system will constantly monitor the …

Chemically Well-Defined Extender for Preservation of Black Bengal Buck Semen
Abstract: This experiment was carried with the aim to prepare a chemically well defined semen extender with soybean lecithin (SL) for cryopreservation of black Bengal buck semen. Semen samples were collected from five black Bengal bucks. The semen samples were extended in Tris buffer with 5% glycerol containing either 15% egg yolk (control group) or SL at different concentrations (1, 1.5 and 2% SL). The semen samples were cooled gradually to …
