Enterococcus faecalis strains derived from wild bird provide protection against Clostridium perfringens challenge in locally-sourced broilers by Gerui Zhang, Ainul Zahra, Tianrui Yang, Qiyu Guo, Yan Sun, Yuhang Zhang, Yupeng Gao, Yuxi Zhang, Mingyue Wang, Jingshuo Gong, Haibin Huang, Zhannan Wang, Chunfeng Wang, Yanlong Jiang

“…IntroductionNecrotic enteritis (NE), caused by Clostridium perfringens, has seen a surge in chicken populations recently due to the ban on antibiotic growth promoters in feed.MethodsIn this research, screening and identification of probiotics with strong antagonistic ability against C. perfringens from 34 wild bird fecal isolates, followed by analysis of probiotic characteristics and carbon source metabolic activity. Strains exhibiting favorable antagonistic activity against C. perfringens were subsequently employed in vivo study to evaluate their protective efficacy against C. perfringens challenge in locally-sourced broilers.ResultsThe results showed that Enterococcus faecalis strains YL-EF25 and YL-EF32 were selected based on their ability to inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of C. perfringens. …”

An enhanced lightweight model for apple leaf disease detection in complex orchard environments by Ge Wang, Wenjie Sang, Fangqian Xu, Yuteng Gao, Yue Han, Qiang Liu

“…However, in complex natural environments, factors such as light variations, shading from branches and leaves, and overlapping disease spots often result in reduced accuracy in detecting apple diseases. To address the challenges of detecting small-target diseases on apple leaves in complex backgrounds and difficulty in mobile deployment, we propose an enhanced lightweight model, ELM-YOLOv8n.To mitigate the high consumption of computational resources in real-time deployment of existing models, we integrate the Fasternet Block into the C2f of the backbone network and neck network, effectively reducing the parameter count and the computational load of the model. …”
