Citizen views on genome editing: effects of species and purpose
TL;DR: This paper analyzed how the public responds to five different applications of genome editing, varying the species involved and the proposed purpose of the modification, including the introduction of disease resistance within different species (human, plant, animal), and two targeted product quality and quantity in cattle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lameness and hock injuries improve on farms participating in an assessment program.
TL;DR: It is suggested that monitoring and reporting the prevalence of lameness and hock injuries to farmers can motivate changes in facilities and management targeted to address these ailments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species identiby by birdsong: discrete or additive information?
TL;DR: It is concluded that the evidence from redstarts favours the additive hypothesis, with support for the releaser hypothesis and rejection of alerting-message and syntactical hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying barriers to successful dairy cow transition management
TL;DR: Barriers to improved practices varied by farm, suggesting that a tailored approach is required to make meaningful change on dairy farms, and the lack of a single definition of the transition period emerged as one barrier to improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standard laboratory housing for mice restricts their ability to segregate space into clean and dirty areas.
TL;DR: It is concluded that mice find waste products aversive, and that housing mice in a way that facilitates spatial segregation provides a simple way of allowing the expression of natural behaviours and improving welfare.
