The effect of female body color on mate selection by male Mozambique Tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) was assessed. A single black or gold male was placed in each of nine spawning net cages along with three gold and three black females. Number of spawns and day of spawns were recorded over a...

Short chain fatty acid (SCFA) plays an important role in regulating the metabolism, endocrine and immune functions of animals and humans. More and more studies have focused on the involvement of SCFA in regulating a variety of neurochemical pathways through the highly correlated gut brain axis,...

We explore the use of knowledge distillation (KD) for learning compact and accurate models that enable classification of animal behavior from accelerometry data on wearable devices. To this end, we take a deep and complex convolutional neural network, known as residual neural network (ResNet), as...

The dromedary camel is mainly found in the tropics of Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian sub-content, where it is of great importance to nomadic and rural communities to provide high-quality animal protein in the form of milk and meat and as a means of transportation. In the Arabian Gulf...

Research organizations should be proactive in regularly evaluating and refining their animal care and use programs in order to advance animal welfare and minimize distress. Pigs are often used in research, but few empirical studies have examined optimal husbandry and research use practices for pigs ...

Economically important Gulf coast tick, Amblyomma maculatum Koch, affects veterinary and public health but is difficult to find off-host in Oklahoma. The aim of the study was to use field-based caged bioassays to observe questing behavior of adult A. maculatum during 24-hour periods between March...

The feeding amount of bass farming is closely related to the number of bass. It is of great significance to master the number of bass to achieve accurate feeding and improve the economic benefits of the farm. In view of the interference caused by the problems of multiple targets and target...

We explore individual differences in tiger personality. We first asked - is there evidence of personality dimensions (analogous to the Big Five in human personality research) in the Amur tiger? We then asked, are any discoverable personality dimensions associated with measured outcomes, including...
