Animal Genetics: Impact of Crossbreeding on Dairy Cattle Health and Productivity and Exploring the Role of Stem Cells in Veterinary Regenerative Medicine
Abstract: The rapid growth in global demand for animal products, especially dairy, has driven the need for innovative approaches in animal breeding and veterinary care to meet these challenges. Among the most promising developments are crossbreeding strategies in dairy cattle and the application of stem cell technology in veterinary regenerative medicine. Crossbreeding in dairy cattle involves the mating of different breeds to enhance genetic diversity and improve key traits, such as …

Barriers to Advanced Reproductive Technologies in the Subsistence Dairy Farming Systems: Key Constraints and the Way Forward
Abstract: The adoption of advanced reproductive technologies (ARTs) in subsistence dairy farming remains limited despite their potential to enhance genetic improvement, fertility rates, and overall productivity. This study explores the key constraints hindering the integration of ARTs, including artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and ovulation synchronization, within small-scale dairy production systems. Financial constraints, lack of awareness, inadequate veterinary support, and socio-cultural resistance are identified as primary barriers. Limited access to affordable credit, …

Signs of Approaching Parturition, Stages of Parturition, Hormonal Cascade of Parturition and Cause of Dystocia in Domestic Animals: An Overview
Abstract: Parturition encompasses the various physiological processes involved in the birth of young ones. Parturition is a physiological and hormonal cascade process by which pregnant uterus delivers foetus and foetal membranes at the end of normal length of gestation or pregnancy. Domestic animals vary in their pregnancy period as well as signs of parturition. Canine species are unique in their pre- and peri-parturient event occurring during pregnancy and parturition. The imminent …

Articulating Precarious Waters: A Critical Review of Pharmaceutical Contaminants, Their Pathways, and Ecological–Health Risks in the Aquatic Systems of Bihar, India
Abstract: The article examines the emerging yet under-documented issue of pharmaceutical contaminants in Bihar’s aquatic environment, focusing on their types, occurrence, sources, and implications for ecology and human health. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products-including antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, beta‑blockers, and hormones – are conceptualized as pseudo-persistent pollutants because continuous inputs from households, healthcare facilities, and diffuse anthropogenic activities sustain their presence in surface water and groundwater despite individual compounds having …

Comparison Analysis of Lumpy Skin Disease Detection System Using X-Ray Images of Animals with the Help of Deep Learning
Abstract: Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), caused by the Capripoxvirus, is a highly contagious viral infection impacting cattle and other livestock, resulting in significant economic losses due to decreased productivity and mortality. Early detection is critical to mitigate its spread and reduce its impact on agriculture and dairy sectors. This study investigates the efficacy of deep learning methodologies for detecting LSD through X-ray images, offering a non-invasive diagnostic approach to identify internal …

African Swine Fever: The Silent Pandemic Affecting Global Swine Industry
Abstract: Background: African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and fatal viral disease caused by the ASF virus (ASFV) of the Asfarviridae family, affecting domestic pigs and wild boars. First identified in Kenya in 1921, ASF has spread globally, severely impacting the pork industry and causing significant financial losses. The virus transmits rapidly through direct or indirect contact, with arthropod vectors, wildlife reservoirs, and contaminated animal products playing key roles …

Animal Gastrointestinal Tract in Animals Health
Abstract: The gastrointestinal tract's (GIT) functionality and health are essential elements that influence animal productivity. Since the management of GIT growth and health involves numerous complicated systems, it is critical to have a better understanding of these interconnections in order to create strategies for modulating GIT functioning and health in the perspective of better animal performance. Within in the animal scientific community, this term of "gut health" has sparked considerable interest. …

Stability Indicating Spectrophotometric Methods for the Determination of Enrofloxacin in Pharmaceuticals
Abstract: Enrofloxacin (EFX) is a first fluoroquinolone veterinary antibiotic and used for the treatment of some urinary tract, respiratory tract, and skin infectious diseases in pets and livestock. Three simple, selective and stability indicating UV-spectrophotometric methods have been developed and validated for the assay of EFX in bulk drug and in its dosage forms. The first proposed method (method A) is based on the measurement of the absorbance of EFX in …
