An equine case study that analyses the development of long-term equine food aggression towards humans and creates a bespoke behaviour modification plan following the Humane Hierarchy and Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive principles using scientific evidence.

Continuous data on the condition of fish is necessary to monitor, control and document biological processes in fish farms in real-time, yet acquiring it from a large net-pen environment is challenging. Tools to rapidly detect change in the entire net-pen population are lacking. Automated passive...

Distant hybridization is an important breeding method in aquaculture. However, hybrid escape is frequent in aquaculture and may have a negative impact on indigenous species. In addition to reducing the fertility of hybrids, inhibiting their wild viability can also play a role in avoiding the...

Like glucose, fructose is a monosaccharide, but the mechanisms of its absorption and metabolism in the body are very different between the 2 molecules. In this study, we investigated the effects of oral administration of glucose and fructose on food intake, diencephalic gene expression, and plasma...

Objective: To evaluate the voluntary acceptance of 10 commercially available compounding flavors in cats. Animals: 46 healthy cats between 1 and 12 years of age. Procedures: Each cat underwent a 14-day study period consisting of a 4-day acclimation period followed by a 10-day trial period in which...

Species assemblages composed of non-native and native fishes are found in freshwater systems throughout the world, and interactions such as interspecific competition that may negatively affect native species are expected when non-native species are present. In the Smith River watershed, Montana,...

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has been used to evaluate Litopenaeus vannamei feeding activity, as shrimp mandibles emit click sounds during food ingestion. PAM has also been used as a tool to estimate the population density of several aquatic species. Although stocking density is an important...

Tedera is a valuable high-quality forage for sheep during summer-autumn. There is evidence that prior grazing experience of novel forages influences preference and haymaking of tedera improves preference by goats. In the first experiment, it was hypothesised that the voluntary feed intake (VFI) of...

Objectives: This study aimed to determine feeding behaviors of Phlebotomus sergenti Parrot, in a new focus of Anthroponotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Bam County, southeast Iran. Methods: Two methods were used to determine the feeding behavior of Phlebotomus sergenti. In the first method, blood-fed ...

Climate change leads to an increase in water acidification and temperature, two environmental factors that can change fish appetite and metabolism, affecting fish population in both wild and aquaculture facilities. Therefore, our study tested if climate change affects gene expression levels of two...
