The benefits of high grain production, no matter its tiny dimension and also powerful functions, can be refined to generate various pet feeds, such as pigs, sheep, livestock, rabbits, hens, ducks, geese, pigeons, aquatic fish feed, and so on. ...
The floating fish feed making equipments generated by Richi Equipment are functional and can be used in feed processing plants of different dimensions, as well as livestock ranches of various dimensions. The small feed pellet machine is constructed from stainless-steel, which can protect against deterioration or rust, thereby lengthening the life span of the feed ...
Bacteriocins can be added to animal feeds as anti-pathogen additives to protect livestock from pathogen damage. In medicine, bacteriocin has the potential to replace antibiotics as antibacterial drugs and is a new type of anticancer drug. ...
From the eradication of smallpox through to the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines have been a cornerstone in the fight against infectious diseases in humans and livestock since the 18th century. Although vaccines against COVID-19 are unlikely to eradicate the disease in the way that the smallpox vaccine did, they have proved very effective in preventing death and ...

By degrading the dung of livestock that graze on pastures, coprophilous arthropods accelerate the cycling of nutrients to maintain pasture quality. Many veterinary medicinal products, such as ivermectin, are excreted unchanged in the dung of treated livestock. These residues can be insecticidal and may reduce the function (i.e., dung‐degradation) of the ...
Introduction Due to dramatically increment of human population, many countries realized that food insufficiency will be a big issue during the next decade. To improve agriculture and livestock, they started producing genetically modified organisms (GMO) with high productivity of yield and a resistance to insects and pathogenic ...
However, information in domesticated livestock, companion animals, and captive and free‐ranging wildlife is incomplete. ...

Avermectins are widely used to treat livestock for parasite infections. Ivermectin, which belongs to the group of avermectins, is particularly hazardous to the environment, especially to crustaceans and to soil-dwelling organisms. ...
Uncontrolled accumulation of wastes in marine environments involves an increase in organic substances and/or nutrients, as well as toxicity. The consequences of this enrichment for the homeostasis of ecosystems are unpredictable. The best studied consequence of such enrichment is eutrophication (Conti, 1996). Natural or anthropogenic eutrophication is the enrichment of a water body in nutrients, ...
