Climate-smart livestock nutrition in semi-arid Southern African agricultural systems by Felix Fushai, Teedzai Chitura, Oyegunle Emmanuel Oke

“…The keystone potential climate-smart alternative feedstuffs are identified to be the small cereal grains, such as sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) as dietary energy sources, the native legumes, such as the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and the marama bean (Tylosema esculentum) as protein sources, wild browse Fabaceae trees such as Vachellia spp. and Colophospermum mopane, which provide dry season and drought supplementary protein, minerals, and antioxidants, the non-fabaceous tree species such as the marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea), from which animals consume the energy and electrolyte-rich fresh fruit or processed pulp. …”

High-parameter immunophenotyping reveals distinct immune cell profiles in pruritic dogs and cats by Erin McDonald, Eric Kehoe, Darcy Deines, Mary McCarthy, Brie Wright, Susan Huse

“…To enhance our understanding of cat and dog biology and test the unsupervised clustering approach on real-world samples, we performed in-depth profiling of immune cell populations in blood collected from client-owned and laboratory animals [dogs (n = 55) and cats (n = 68)]. These animals were categorized based on pruritic behavior or routine check-ups (non-pruritic controls).ResultsUnsupervised clustering revealed various immune cell populations, including T-cell subsets distinguished by CD62L expression and distinct monocyte subsets. …”

Presence of Rickettsia Species in a Marginalized Area of Yucatan, Mexico by Gaspar Peniche-Lara, Bertha Jimenez-Delgadillo, Claudia Munoz-Zanzi, María Cárdenas-Marrufo, Carlos Pérez-Osorio, Juan Arias-León

“…Ectoparasite species such as Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Amblyomma mixtum have been identified as Rickettsia vectors in Yucatan by studies focused on the wild animal population in rural areas. There have been studies that have tried to determine the presence of Rickettsia species in ectoparasites collected in Yucatan, but these studies did not include marginalized areas, where living in close contact with domestic and peridomestic animals that carry ectoparasites is a high-risk factor for acquiring rickettsial infection or many other vector-borne diseases. …”

Treatment Project Design for Weakly Saline Water Bodies in Desert Parks and Practice by FENG Yu, ZHANG Wenlei, XU Yufeng, ZHANG Huajun

“…The eutrophication control of a saline park water body in the Inner Mongolia Plateau is conducted by constructing a complete aquatic ecosystem.Acid-alkali adjustment of this water body is carried out to build aquatic plant and animal communities in the lake body,and functional bacterial agents are also supplemented to build and restore microbial communities.Moreover,the stable development of the ecosystem is guaranteed by on-site maintenance measures.The project effect shows that the aquatic ecosystem remains stable after its successful construction,with a clear water body that offers a favorable pollutant removal effect and main water quality indexes significantly better than those before treatment.Specifically,the pH of the water body decreases from 9.09 to 8.75,and the turbidity is lowered from 20.5 NTU to 4.0 NTU.Regarding transparency,it reaches more than 1.5 m at the deepest part of the water body,or even a clear bottom is achieved.The total phosphorus concentration decreases from 0.19 mg/L to 0.03 mg/L,and the COD_Cr concentration is reduced from 109.5 mg/L to 17.0 mg/L.In addition,aquatic animal biomass and the number of species of aquatic animals increase significantly.The above results indicate that the water quality improvement target is achieved.The aquatic ecosystem after treatment with maintenance measures can resist external disturbance to a certain extent,and the implementation of this project can provide a reference for the treatment of saline lakes in plateau areas.…”
