Genetic inbreeding load and its individual prediction for milk yield in French dairy sheep by Simona Antonios, Silvia T. Rodríguez-Ramilo, Andres Legarra, Jean-Michel Astruc, Luis Varona, Zulma G. Vitezica

“…Results Pedigrees included 190,276, 166,028 and 633,655 animals of Basco-Béarnaise, Manech Tête Noire and Manech Tête Rousse, respectively, born between 1985 and 2021. A fraction of 99.1% of the partial inbreeding coefficients were lower than 0.01 in all breeds, meaning that in practice inbreeding occurs in pedigree loops that span several generations backwards. …”

Humic acid improves water retention, maize growth, water use efficiency and economic benefits in coastal saline-alkali soils by Ge Li, Yuyang Shan, Weibo Nie, Yan Sun, Lijun Su, Weiyi Mu, Zhi Qu, Ting Yang

“…The results indicated that HA application increased cumulative infiltration by 0.83 %–9.92 %, extended the infiltration time required to reach the predetermined wetting front depth by 11.6 %–74.8 %, and reduced cumulative evaporation by 4.72 %–28.99 %. HA application rates showed a positive correlation with soil residual water content (θr) and saturated water content (θs), while exhibiting a negative correlation with saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks). …”
