Spatially biased reduction of browsing damage by sika deer through culling

Kei K. Suzuki et al.

Summary: This study verifies the effect of selective culling on reducing browsing damage by considering spatial changes, and finds that the benefits of selective culling extend to the spatial scale of culling.

A 17-Year Study of the Response of Populations to Different Patterns in Antlerless Proportion of Imposed Culls: Antlerless Culling Reduces Overabundant Deer Population

Kei K. Suzuki et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effectiveness of antlerless culling on sika deer population dynamics. It found that deer populations decreased in areas with higher antlerless culling and increased in areas with lower antlerless culling. This suggests that a high proportion of antlerless culling can effectively decrease the deer population. The study highlights the importance of antlerless-biased culling in managing overabundant populations of herbivores.

Wild ungulate overabundance in Europe: contexts, causes, monitoring and management recommendationsPalabras clave

Antonio J. Carpio et al.

Summary: High-density populations of large ungulates are now widespread in Europe, with overabundance causing various problems for humans. Different contexts have different causes of overabundance and require specific indicators for monitoring and diagnosing. Management actions to control these situations are highly dependent on the specific context.

The Contribution of Dietary Magnesium in Farm Animals and Human Nutrition

Luciano Pinotti et al.

Summary: Magnesium plays a crucial role as a cofactor of over 300 enzymes, and its supplementation is recommended in both farm animals and human nutrition to ensure adequate growth, health maintenance, and optimal performance. Adequate magnesium intake can improve meat quality, fertility, and yield in farm animals, while also preventing deficiency-related health conditions and supporting growth. Having an adequate magnesium content in animal-sourced food is important to prevent magnesium deficiency in farm animals and to serve as excellent magnesium sources in human diets, which is crucial for bone development, muscle function, and overall health maintenance.
