Are you planning to attend the Plant and Animal Genome Conference in January 2025 #PAG32 ? You can now submit an abstract to present your work at one of the Phytobiomes Alliance workshops: - “Exploring Phytobiomes” workshop | Sunday 12 January, 4:00-6:10pm This workshop will feature talks exploring various aspects of research to understand phytobiomes systems. - “The Uniqueness and Commonalities Between Plant, Animal and Soil Microbiomes” workshop | Tuesday 14 January, 4:00-6:10pm This workshop will explore the interconnections between plants, animals, and soils, and their shared environments. Research related to interactions with people as defined in the One Health approach are also of interest. Presentations should demonstrate how knowledge gained from these diverse communities can lead to a general understanding of agriculturally related microbiomes. Abstract submission deadline: Tuesday 5 November 2024, 23:59 US Eastern Time. 👉More information: https://lnkd.in/g4p-DgHP

Happening in less than an hour! Our research asks if adopting intensification strategies and mitigation technologies (without lowering meat + milk demand) are *enough* to meet CH4 targets at global and regional scales Come by to find out if they are (or not) if you’re here at #AGU24!

Calling all researchers, students, industry professionals, and scientists! As part of our commitment to open science, we contribute to the Federal Open Science Repository of Canada. This platform centralizes scientific articles, reports, and publications from across federal government departments—giving you easier access to vital research that can support and enhance your work. With open access, we’re breaking down barriers to collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Whether your focus is on animal health, plant protection, or food safety, explore our cutting-edge research and make impactful discoveries. Celebrate Open Access Week by diving into the repository and advancing your own research or projects with the latest in Canadian science! 🔗 Explore the repository here: https://bit.ly/48nolb2 #OpenAccessWeek #OAWeek #OpenData #OpenScience #Transparency #CFIAScience

Proud of our team for the quick work on this one! Have a look at our findings regarding H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b susceptibility in calves and dairy cattle; a collaborative study with Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut, now published (AAP) in Nature.

Last week, Innovate Animal Ag released new research on the alarming Hatchability Crisis impacting the American broiler industry. In this report, we discuss the potential causes and consequences of this disturbing trend, as well as ways that industry leaders can help mitigate its effects. In the coming months, we will continue to cover this topic, so please do not hesitate to provide your feedback! If you missed it, you can read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gDhb55q7

🐟 🌍 This #WorldTunaDay, let's dive deeper into the impact of our choices! 🚨 Scientific research has repeatedly shown that fish feel pain and fear, suffering just as other animals do. Regardless of this fact, fish aren’t protected by the Humane Slaughter Act in the United States. This means that they’re killed in a variety of excruciating ways, without regard to the suffering they endure before death. 🔵 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gi-2sdbJ. 💙 Let's use World Tuna Day to drive momentum towards a plant-based future: https://lnkd.in/gUdBrzgf!

When REACh is revised to include endocrine endpoints, how will the new challenges be met? And how many animals will be required to fulfill the new requirements? The National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) as well as my former colleagues James Wheeler and Lauren Kent PhD, DABT, ERT have released a paper, available as a pre-proof, to spell out the issues. https://lnkd.in/eB-wSn7u

Get the inside scoop on animal use in science with EU stats! 2021 and 2022 data were published in July. But did you know that from 2021 data onwards, it is now possible to dive into Member State-level data with ALURES. Understanding the differences between countries shaped by their specific type of research and industry is crucial for making progress. With such differences between countries, only sufficient level of detail will help us find solutions that will fit. The ALURES Statistical EU database awaits! https://lnkd.in/ekBtU87u
