Livestock and poultry products are important reservoirs for antibiotic resistance genes （ARGs）， which have become a new type of environmental pollutant. The ARGs contained in these products， together with heavy m...

Abstract Overcrowding stress in livestock farming is a significant concern for animal health and livestock products such as meats, milk, and eggs. It affects gut health by altering microbiota and regulating neuronal nitr...

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...

Background: Climate change has a negative impact on smallholder farming, affecting both agricultural production and livelihoods. Agricultural extension services offer an essential role in enabling smallholder farmers to...

Smart farming has introduced agricultural systems that are increasingly autonomous and highly interconnected. The Agricultural Digital Twin (ADT) is an innovative breakthrough in smart farming that has the potential to g...
