Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethods for Growing Complete Feed for Livestock on the Forage Lands of West Kazakhstan in the Framework of Sustainable ManagementBeybit Nasiyev, Peizhi Yang, Azhar Latenova et al.Sustainable management of forage lands is critical for livestock productivity in the arid and semi-arid regions of West Kazakhstan, where pasture degradation and declining forage quality pose increasing challenges to agricultural sustainability. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different grazing methods on the vegetation condition, productivity, and nutritional quality of pastures in West Kazakhstan. Pasture vegetation was assessed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,458 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency and Sustainability of Alternative Protein Sources for Livestock Production in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisOlusegun Oyebade Ikusika, Bulo Luvuyo, Jaja Ishmeal FestusSub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces growing challenges in sustainable livestock production due to high costs and limited availability of conventional protein sources such as soybean meal and fishmeal. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the nutritional efficiency and sustainability of locally available alternative protein sources for livestock feed in SSA. Following PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches were conducted across five databases (PubMed, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 19 Feb 2026 · 1,844 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Contamination in Livestock Production: Impacts, Causes, and Mitigation StrategiesMarothi Vincent Sebela, Khetho Ratshilumela NemutandaniWater contamination poses a significant threat to sustainable livestock production, directly affecting animal health, productivity, and product safety. This systematic review synthesizes existing literature on the impacts, causes, and mitigation strategies of water contamination in livestock production systems. A systematic literature search was conducted across Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases using key terms including "water contamination," "livestock," and "water … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 17 Feb 2026 · 1,962 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe European Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) as a Reservoir of Tuberculosis: Ecological Drivers and Management ImplicationsGiovanna Liguori, Renato Lombardi, Fabio Castagna et al.Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), an infectious disease primarily caused by Mycobacterium bovis and other members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, represents a significant challenge to both animal and public health. Despite successful control programs in numerous regions, the presence of wildlife reservoirs, notably wild boar (Sus scrofa), impedes complete eradication and sustains disease propagation. bTB prevalence varies across Europe, with higher … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 16 Nov 2025 · 2,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCattle Breeding Programs and Trait Preferences in EthiopiaMohammed Endris Seid, Kefelegn Kebede Kefenie et al.The success of livestock breeding programs depend on the active involvement of smallholder farmers, pastoralists, and agro-pastoralists in shaping breeding objectives and identifying key trait preferences based on specific production goals. This study aimed at assessing the relative importance of cattle-keeping objectives and trait preferences across mixed crop-livestock, pastoral, and agro-pastoral production systems in Ethiopia. We collected data from 180 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 9 Jun 2025 · 4,357 accessesView PDFCite
