Negative Perceptions of Broiler Consumers: Exploring Societal Attitudes, Cultural Ethics, and Health Concerns for Sustainable Production
Abstract: Negative perceptions of broiler chicken remain a significant barrier to its acceptance and market sustainability. This study investigates the societal attitudes, cultural ethics, and health concerns that influence consumer perceptions and challenges the broiler industry. Ethical issues, including animal welfare and perceived unnatural rearing practices, often fuel consumer distrust. Health concerns such as antibiotic residues, growth hormone usage (often misunderstood), and lower nutritional value compared to native breeds further exacerbate …

Impact of Hypoxia on Cardiopulmonary Adaptation in Canines: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Hypoxia triggers a series of cardiopulmonary responses that play an important role in oxygen delivery and the continuation of physiological activity in mammals. Canines are also a useful translational model of study to examine these adaptive responses because of their anatomical, physiological, and cardiopulmonary differences with humans. This review summarizes the experimental data of acute, subacute and chronic hypoxia in dogs with particular focus on the variations in cardiac functioning, …

Dystocia in Dairy Cattle: Causes, Consequences, and Preventive Measures for Improved Reproductive Health and Productivity
Abstract: Dystocia, or calving difficulty, is a significant reproductive challenge in dairy cattle, with far-reaching impacts on animal health, productivity, and farm economics. This review paper comprehensively explores the primary causes, consequences, and effective preventive measures associated with dystocia in dairy cows. Dystocia arises from a complex interplay of genetic, physiological, environmental, and management-related factors, including breed predisposition, maternal and fetal size, pelvic structure, and gestational nutrition. The consequences of dystocia …

Comparative Evaluation of Pedigree-Based and Genomic BLUP Models for Wheat Grain Yield Prediction
Abstract: Before genome-wide molecular markers became affordable, plant and animal breeding relied on pedigree-based prediction (P-BLUP), using the expected additive relationship matrix (A) derived from recorded ancestry. Genomic selection replaced or augmented this with a marker-derived genomic relationship matrix (G; GBLUP), and single-step methods combining A and G are now standard when only a subset of a breeding population is genotyped. It is less clear whether pedigree information retains any predictive …
