Fatty acid composition of beef from Nguni steers supplemented with Acacia karroo leaf-meal
TL;DR: Using A. karroo in cattle diets can improve fatty acid composition of beef from a human health perspective, and highest α-linolenic acid and docosapentaenoic acid, and lowest n −6/ n −3 ratios were recorded in beef from steers that received AK diet.

Biodiversity in Indian Underexploited/Tribal Pulses
TL;DR: The authors’ team of workers have gathered 192 germplasm (accessions) of wild legumes including 45 tribal pulses from different agroclaimatic regions in India to understand their biodiversity with a view to exploit such genetic resources for additional supply of plant protein so that they can augment the availability of protein from conventional pulse crops in India.
