Designing grazing susceptibility to land degradation index (GSLDI) in hilly areas.

Scientific reports
Evaluation of grazing impacts on land degradation processes is a difficult task due to the heterogeneity and complex interacting factors involved. In this paper, we designed a new methodology based on a predictive index of grazing susceptibility to l...

Practices and Applications of Convolutional Neural Network-Based Computer Vision Systems in Animal Farming: A Review.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Convolutional neural network (CNN)-based computer vision systems have been increasingly applied in animal farming to improve animal management, but current knowledge, practices, limitations, and solutions of the applications remain to be expanded and...

Comparison of the decision tree, artificial neural network and multiple regression methods for prediction of carcass tissues composition of goat kids.

Meat science
The aim of this study was to predict carcass tissue composition of goat kids using the decision tree with CHAID algorithm (DT) and artificial neural network (ANN) method in comparison with classical step-wise regression (SWR) analyse. Data were obtai...

A low-cost, automated parasite diagnostic system via a portable, robotic microscope and deep learning.

Journal of biophotonics
Manual hand counting of parasites in fecal samples requires costly components and substantial expertise, limiting its use in resource-constrained settings and encouraging overuse of prophylactic medication. To address this issue, a cost-effective, au...

Using mid-infrared spectroscopy and supervised machine-learning to identify vertebrate blood meals in the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis.

Malaria journal
BACKGROUND: The propensity of different Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans instead of other vertebrates influences their capacity to transmit pathogens to humans. Unfortunately, determining proportions of mosquitoes that have fed on humans, i.e. Hum...

Optimization of the protein extraction method of goat meat using factorial design and response surface methodology.

Food chemistry
Protein extraction from goat meat was carried out based on the combination of response surface methodology and factorial design to optimize the variables: temperature (25-50 °C), extraction time (8-20 min), volume (3-10 mL) and extractor concentratio...

Onset of luteolytic action of exogenous prostaglandinF-2α during estrous cycle in goats.

Theriogenology
The objectives of these two experiments were to determine the day of onset of luteolysis after exogenous PGF-2α administration during the estrous cycle and the fertility of this synchronized estrus in goats. In the first experiment, during the breedi...

MoSe Nanolabels for Electrochemical Immunoassays.

Analytical chemistry
There is huge interest in biosensors as a result of the demand for personalized medicine. In biomolecular detection, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can be used as signal-enhancing elements. Herein, we utilize a solution-based electrochemical...

In vitro growth and maturation of isolated caprine preantral follicles: Influence of insulin and FSH concentration, culture dish, coculture, and oocyte size on meiotic resumption.

Theriogenology
The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the effect of different insulin concentrations, alone or in combination with either a fixed FSH concentration or increasing FSH concentrations on the in vitro culture of isolated caprine preantral follicle...
