Alternative livestock production is an important transition away from industrialized livestock production and towards more sustainable systems. However, even in areas well suited to alternative livestock production, non-...

Anaerobic co-digestion of livestock waste presents a viable approach for addressing environmental challenges and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in semi-urban and rural contexts. This study focuses on the development o...

BackgroundCoxiella burnetii is the causative agent of Q fever, a zoonotic infection that poses serious threats to both animal and human health, particularly in the Global South. It infects livestock such as cattle, sheep...

Abstract Background: Food security and nutrition are threatened globally due to climate change. The West African Sahel is particularly vulnerable to climate change given food systems that are highly dependent on rainfall...

Dairy farms increasingly deploy sensor networks that generate high-frequency behavioral and spatial data, yet translating these multimodal streams into actionable welfare insights remains a key challenge. This study pres...

While concerns about the environmental issue intensify, agricultural activities continue to be a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Among these activities, those related to livestock farming stands out. Cons...

Abstract The use of animal-borne devices to measure acceleration has yielded insights into animal locomotion, behaviour and energy expenditure. We present the first systematic review of accelerometry on animals, spanning...

Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) are increasingly used for landscape management on rewetted peatlands, where monitoring their behavior and welfare remains challenging due to large, water−rich and difficult−to-access g...

Brucellosis, a zoonotic disease, triggers severe inflammation and reproductive complications in both humans and animals. The standard treatment protocol relies on prolonged antibiotic courses, often combining streptomyci...
