The study was implemented for exploring influences of nano-KMoO on the daily gain and antioxidant function of Chinese merino sheep in the native pasture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest of China. Eighty of the sheep, weight of (45.56 ± 2.35) kg, were randomly distributed to the tested areas for 90 days, 20 sheep/group. The findings showed that the contents of Mo and N in the forage of applying nano-KMoO were extremely higher than those in the control pastures (P <0.01). The daily gain in the fertilized groups were remarkably lower than that in the control group (P <0.01). The harvest of forage in the fertilized pastures were significantly higher than those in control (P <0.01). The contents of Mo in blood and liver in grazing the Chinese merino sheep were extremely higher than those from the control group (P <0.01). The contents of Cu in blood and liver in grazing the Chinese merino sheep were extremely lower than those in the unfertilized pastures (P <0.01). The levels of hemoglobin (Hb), blood platelet (PLT), and erythrocyte count (RBC) in animals from the fertilized pastures were extremely lower than those in the control pastures (P < 0.01). The activities of SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT in serum were significantly lower than those in group C. The serum MDA levels were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). In conclusion, the application of nano-KMoO in pastures can greatly improve the yield of forage, but strikingly decreased the daily gain and antioxidant function in grazing the Chinese merino sheep.

Aim: Aging decreases the metabolic rate and increases the risk of metabolic diseases, highlighting the need for alternative strategies to improve metabolic health. Heat treatment (HT) has shown various metabolic benefits, but its ability to counteract aging-associated metabolic slowdown remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of whole-body HT on energy metabolism, explore the potential mechanism involving the heat sensor TRPV1, and examine the modulation of gut microbiota.

Introduction: Early newborn mortality, morbidity, and long-term health outcomes are significantly predicted by birth weight. Many babies are born underweight in Ethiopia, but few case-control studies have previously examined the risk variables associated with khat consumption and low birth weight (LBW). Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify maternal khat use and maternal sociodemographic and obstetric risk factors associated with LBW in the Halaba Kulito General Hospital, southern Ethiopia.

Introduction: The most prevalent condition affecting the metabolism of carbohydrates during pregnancy is gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Continuous glycemia monitoring systems that use sensors are currently replacing the conventional self-monitoring of glycemia with a glucometer. Poland's insurance coverage has made new technologies possible for continuous glycemia monitoring.

Introduction: This study evaluated vaccination and prophylactic use of antimicrobials as strategies to prevent Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (PPE) during nursery and growth-finishing phases.
Methods: Three hundred weaned piglets (~ 29 days old) were distributed into groups: NVMED - no vaccinated against but in-feed medicated with antimicrobials (amoxicillin, florfenicol, lincomycin, spectinomycin and tilmicosin); VMED - vaccinated and in-feed medicated; VNMED - vaccinated but no in-feed medicated. Piglets were vaccinated at weaning (Porcilis Ileitis, MSD Animal Health).
