An in-depth diagnostic exploration of an inflammation and necrosis syndrome in a population of newborn piglets

J. Kuehling et al.

Summary: Inflammation and loss of tail integrity can lead to serious impairment of animal welfare, posing a major challenge for modern pig farming. Newborn piglets showing multiple pathological manifestations in different body parts suggest a potentially endogenous etiology of an inflammation and necrosis syndrome. Further studies are needed to establish the conditions for the emergence of such a syndrome and develop welfare indicators.

Summary and Overview of the Odour Regulations Worldwide

Anna Bokowa et al.

Summary: Odours are a major contributor to air pollution complaints, with significant variations in legislation between different countries. While some countries have detailed regulations on odour control, others do not specifically mention odour in their environmental legislation. The management of odour emissions, particularly from agricultural operations, is complex and requires a comprehensive approach to address sustainability and socio-economic considerations.

Costs and Benefits of Improving Farm Animal Welfare

Jill N. Fernandes et al.

Summary: Improving farm animal welfare incurs both obvious costs, such as training and administration of pain relief, and less obvious costs like market risks and social acceptance risks. The benefits of improved animal welfare extend beyond production gains and include positive effects on the workforce, competitive advantage, risk mitigation, and positive social consequences. Further empirical evidence is needed to improve decision-making in animal welfare.

Economic Risk Assessment by Weather-Related Heat Stress Indices for Confined Livestock Buildings: A Case Study for Fattening Pigs in Central Europe

Guenther Schauberger et al.

Summary: Global warming has led to increased heat stress in farm animals in confined livestock buildings, resulting in reduced health, welfare, and performance, as well as higher mortality rates. Economic risk assessment for the pig fattening sector was determined based on the probability of heat stress and decreased gross margin. Weather-related heat stress indices calculated from meteorological parameters can be used for economic risk assessment and weather-based insurance for livestock farms.

Seasonal Variability of Trends in Regional Hot and Warm Temperature Extremes in Europe

Agnieszka Sulikowska et al.

Summary: This study analyzes long-term trends in extremely hot or warm days in Europe throughout the year using the Extremity Index, finding significant increasing trends in seasonal extreme temperature events in all examined regions since 1950. However, each region exhibits its own event pattern and trends vary geographically and seasonally across the continent.

Odour Impact Assessment in a Changing Climate

Martin Piringer et al.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of odour sources from stock farms on nearby residential areas under different climatic conditions, revealing changes in stability classes and separation distances due to climate change. The results of odour impact modeling are compared based on various stability classification schemes, highlighting the need for livestock husbandry to adapt to future climate scenarios.
