ASSESSING SHORT-TERM ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF COW-CALF CONTACT SYSTEMS IN DAIRY PRODUCTION USING A STOCHASTIC PARTIAL BUDGETING APPROACH

Assessing short-term economic consequences of cow-calf contact systems in dairy production using a stochastic partial budgeting approach

IntroductionWhile early separation of dairy calves after birth has been debated from an ethical and animal welfare lens, the economic evidence surrounding alternative cow-calf contact (CCC) systems is scarce.MethodsTo address this knowledge gap, we assessed the economic consequences of CCC systems using data from the Agriwise database as well as pa

Whole genome profiling of short-term hypoxia induced genes and identification of HIF-1 binding sites provide insights into HIF-1 function in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Oxygen is essential to all the aerobic organisms.However, during normal development, disease and homeostasis, organisms are often challenged by hypoxia (oxygen deprivation).Hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs) are master regulators of hypoxia response and are evolutionarily conserved in metazoans.The homolog of HIF in the genetic model or
