    In ancient times,pigeons became communication tools due to their navigation ability and good homing performance. Although researchers have extensively explored the navigation mechanism of pigeons over the years,its navigation mechanism is still unclear. This article elaborates on the current research on pigeon flight navigation mechanism from the perspective of natural factors such as solar compass,geomagnetic field,visual clues,olfactory clues,etc. It clarifies that pigeons use solar information as the primary clue to guide navigation behavior,and use geomagnetic information,sensory information,etc. to assist navigation. It also introduces the research progress of using pigeon flight navigation mechanism to develop biological robots,manned flight,and navigation technology,and looks forward to the future development of related technologies. This article summarizes the theoretical research, development,and application of pigeon flight navigation mechanism,providing materials for the future application of related technologies.

    Through epidemiological investigation,clinical symptom observation,necropsy analysis,bacterial isolation and identification,and viral detection,this study examined multi⁃pathogen infections and drug susceptibility in reserve breeding pigeons from a large⁃scale pigeon farm in Guangdong under high⁃temperature and high⁃humidity conditions. The results revealed that the diseased pigeon flock was primarily infected with Newcastle disease virus (NDV),H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus,and pigeon circovirus(PiCV),accompanied by co⁃infections with Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Drug susceptibility testing showed that the pathogens were highly sensitive to gentamicin.The findings suggest that PiCV infection may enhance the susceptibility of pigeons to H9N2 avian influenza and play a critical role in mixed infections. This study provides clinical evidence for understanding the mechanisms of mixed infections in pigeons under immunosuppressive conditions and offers valuable insights for the comprehensive prevention and control of pigeon diseases.

    Throughout the long history of co⁃evolution with humans,dogs have developed a superior ability in the understanding and utilization of social signals within human society compared to other animals. While there has been considerable foreign research on dog social behavior and cognition and the human⁃dog relationship,this area of study is relatively new in China. This review summarizes the research progress on dog social cognitive abilities in human⁃dog interactions,focusing on the understanding and use of human social signals by dogs,their ability to send social signals to humans,and factors that influence dog social abilities with humans(i.e.,environmental,physiological,and genetic factors). Currently,human understanding of dog social behavior is inadequate,with most research confined to laboratory settings and having limited practical application. Further research could provide scientific evidence for improving dog social behavior and human⁃dog interactions,fostering a more harmonious relationship between humans and dogs.

    This study aims to explore the diagnostic and therapeutic methods for feline urinary retention. As a common manifestation of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease(FLUTD),feline urinary retention can lead to systemic infection or even death in severe cases. In this case,feline urinary retention was initially suspected through inspection,inquiry,and palpation;further confirmed by imaging examinations including DR and abdominal color Doppler ultrasound;and finally diagnosed based on the results of blood routine,biochemical indicators,and coagulation function tests. After 3 days of conservative treatment,the cat's symptoms showed no significant improvement,so perineal urethrostomy was performed. The cat achieved good postoperative recovery and a favorable prognosis. This case indicates that for urinary retention cases unresponsive to conservative treatment,perineal urethrostomy can effectively improve the quality of life of affected cats,providing valuable reference for clinical practice.

    Miscellaneous meal refers to the by⁃product from oil crops after extraction,including rapeseed meal, cottonseed meal,peanut meal and sunflower seed meal. It has high yield and low price,and is rich in protein,fat, and minerals,which make it a valuable unconventional feedstock. However,the high levels of anti⁃nutritional factors present such as crude fiber,tannins,phytic acid and thioglycoside in miscellaneous meal not only impede the digestion and absorption of nutrients but also have toxicological effects,severely constraining the feed utilization of miscellaneous meal. With the advancement and widespread adoption of biotechnological approaches in animal feed production,fermentation of feed raw materials offers a distinctive advantage. Microbial fermentation facilitates the reduction of anti⁃nutrition factors in miscellaneous meal and breaks down indigestible or poorly utilized components into readily absorbable small molecules,enhancing digestion and utilization efficiency of animals. Currently,lactic acid bacteria,bacillus,yeast,and mold are the predominant microorganisms employed in the fermentation of miscellaneous meals. Fermentation also generates valuable metabolites,providing a rich source of probiotics for animals.Reasonable utilization of miscellaneous meal not only save conventional feed resources,alleviate the shortage of domestic feed resources and the situation of“human and animal competition for food”,but also address environmental pollution caused by waste discharge. Miscellaneous meal has broad application prospects in animal production. This paper reviews the nutritional value of miscellaneous meal,changes in nutritional components and anti⁃ nutritional factors before and after fermentation,as well as the application effect of fermented feed in broiler production. It also summarizes the current challenges in the utilization of miscellaneous meal,in order to provide theoretical basis for the application of fermented miscellaneous meal in broiler production.

    This study delineates the evolving dynamics between cattle inventory and beef production in China, while highlighting the upward trajectory of domestic beef consumption and the increasing reliance on imports. From the perspective of germplasm resource introduction,it examines the influence of live cattle and frozen semen imports on the broader development of the beef industry. Integrating insights from the market circulation system,the paper further dissects the volatility patterns within the fresh beef consumption market. Focusing specifically on Guangdong Province,the paper evaluates the current state of the beef cattle sector through three analytical lenses:the imbalance in supply and demand,the degree of large⁃scale farming,and the distinctive characteristics of regional dairy cattle farming models. It identifies critical challenges facing the provincial cattle breeding industry,including a shortage of high⁃quality genetic stock,weak foundational infrastructure in breeding systems,misalignment between breeding objectives and the diversified demands of the market,and insufficient protection and utilization of indigenous cattle germplasm resources. Building upon the analysis of these structural bottlenecks,the paper proposes a systematic development pathway. This includes the establishment of a province⁃wide elite breeding system,targeted enhancement of genetic improvement technologies,the development of intelligent innovation platforms for germplasm advancement, and the identification of genetic markers associated with desirable traits. Together,these measures aim to provide a scientific foundation for the high⁃quality and sustainable development of Guangdong’s beef cattle breeding industry.

    The study was aimed to investigate the characteristics of Hyperpigmentation of the Visceral Peritoneum(HVP)in nine yellow⁃feather broilers. In this study,we analyzed the relationship between HVP and body weight(BW),Shank circumference(SC),and sex in nine 21⁃day⁃old yellow⁃feathered broiler lines(n=6 223). The results showed that there were significant differences in HVP traits among different strains in different population genetic backgrounds( P<0.05). Notably local chicken exhibited a higher proportion of peritoneal black level 3 compared to specialized breeding lines. Under the same population genetic background,eight strains showed highly significant differences( P<0.01)in HVP,body weight,and Shank circumference,with lower BW and SC in the peritoneal black grade 3. Additionally,when males and females were analyzed separately,the HVP level was higher in the female chickens( P<0.01). The findings from our experiment suggested that selective breeding for lower HVP levels should prioritize local chicken breeds and hen groups,which provide a basis for future yellow⁃feathered broiler breeding and production.

    The experiment was to study the effects of different levels of moist fermented rapeseed meal fermented by Bacillus subtilis on the growth,serum physiology and biochemistry,intestinal digestibility and intestinal flora of grass carp(Ctenopharyngodon idella). A total of 450 grass carp with an initial average weight of(51.60±0.56)g were randomly divided into 5 groups with 3 replicates and 30 fish per replicate. The amount of moist fermented rapeseed meal in each group was 0(control group),10%,20%,30% and 40%,respectively,and the amount of rapeseed meal was reduced accordingly. The experiment lasted for 8 weeks. The results showed that the condition factor of 20% and 40% moist fermented rapeseed meal groups was significantly higher than that of control group( P<0.05). The contents of total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein in 40% group were significantly higher than those in control group( P<0.05). Dietary supplementation of more than 20% of moist fermented rapeseed meal significantly increased intestinal α⁃amylase activity( P<0.05),and dietary supplementation of more than 30% of moist fermented rapeseed meal significantly increased intestinal trypsin activity( P<0.05). With the increase of the replacement level of moist fermented rapeseeds,the numbers of Firmicutes,verrucobacteria and actinobacteria in intestinal tract increased, while the numbers of Proteobacteria and chloromyces decreased. Under the experimental conditions,moist fermented rapeseed meal had a certain growth⁃promoting effect,which could improve intestinal digestive enzyme activity and intestinal flora composition. The feed prepared with 20% moist fermented rapeseed meal is more beneficial to increase the fatness of grass carp,increase the lipid metabolism capacity of liver,reduce the oxidative damage of liver and improve the intestinal flora. The feed prepared with 30% and 40% moist fermented rapeseed meal formula has a good effect on improving intestinal digestive enzymes of grass carp.

    The Goose reovirus(GRV)comprises two distinct types:the classic(GRV)and the novel goose reovirus (NGRV). These two types exhibit differences in their epidemiological characteristics and viral gene sequences. The lack of sensitive and specific assays for both types of viruses has resulted in difficulties in accurately diagnosing and timely intervening in cases. In order to distinguish GRV from NGRV,a dual RT⁃qPCR assay based on a dye ⁃ based method(SYBR Green I)was established. The results demonstrated that the method was capable of distinguishing GRV(79.5℃) and NGRV(86.5℃) based on their respective melting curves. Furthermore,no amplification was observed for any of the common waterfowl epidemics,the lowest detections were 6.466×101 copies/ μL GRV and 4.979 × 101 copies/μL NGRV. The results demonstrated that the dual RT⁃qPCR assay,based on a dye⁃ based method,could rapidly and accurately identify different types of GRVs in infected geese. The assay exhibited a high degree of precision,with coefficients of variation less than 0.55% for both intra⁃ and intergroups. This method has the potential to support early diagnosis,epidemiological monitoring and effective prevention and control of the disease.

    This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with different doses of compound probiotics on production performance,egg quality,reproduction��related traits and organ indices in old aged laying hens. A total of 288 Jingfen laying hens aged 68 weeks with normal egg production were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups based on similar laying rates. The basal diet was supplemented with 0,200,300,and 400 mg/kg of compound probiotics,respectively. The results showed that:dietary supplementation with compound probiotics exhibited certain trends in affecting the laying rate and daily egg mass (EM)( P<0.10). With the dietary supplementation level of probiotics increased,the laying rate demonstrated a significant linear increase( P=0.047), while daily EM showed a tendency toward linear increase( P=0.092). Meanwhile,the unqualified egg rate exhibited a tendency toward linear decrease( P=0.078). Eggs from the 300 mg/kg group had the highest eggshell strength, significantly exceeding the other 3 groups( P<0.05). With increasing dietary probiotic levels,Haugh unit displayed a significant quadratic effect characterized by an initial increase followed by a slight decrease( P=0.005). The number of dominant follicles also showed a trend of initial increase followed by decrease ( P=0.078). Dietary probiotics significantly affected abdominal fat percentage(AF%)( P=0.037),with the lowest value observed in the 300 mg/kg group. Based on the significance( P values)and correlation coefficients(R2)of quadratic polynomial or broken-line models established for Haugh unit and AF% in response to probiotic dosage,and considering all experimental indicators comprehensively,the optimal dietary supplementation level of compound probiotics for aged laying hens was determined to be 300 mg/kg.

    Meat quality is one of the determining factors for consumers' decision to purchase pork. More and more research is dedicated to producing high- quality and delicious pork to meet the needs of consumers. At present, Bacillus and lactic acid bacteria are probiotics commonly used to improve pork quality, which can improve meat color, reduce drip loss and shear force, increase the content of muscle nutrients and flavor substances, and enhance meaty traits and nutritional value in pork. Probiotics regulate the expression of genes related to nutrient metabolism, improving intestinal metabolism and deposition of fat and protein in meat. It can also affect the expression of genes related to fiber type, growth and development of muscle, reduce muscle lipid peroxidation by maintaining cell membrane integrity, lower water loss rate, and thus improve meat quality. This article reviews commonly used probiotics and their applications in meat quality of pigs, in order to provide scientific basis for the application of probiotics in improving meat quality.

    In January 2024,some pregnant sows experienced clinical cases such as miscarriage and stillbirth in a large⁃scale pig farm in Guangdong Province. To diagnose the cause of the outbreak,blood samples from aborting sows and organs samples from stillborn fetuses were collected. Common pathogens causing miscarriage in sows,such as Porcine Circovirus 2/3(PCV2/3),Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus 2(PRRSV2),Porcine Pseudorabies Virus(PRV),Toxoplasma gondii,etc。,have been detected using fluorescence quantitative PCR methods. Then,the genotypes and subtypes of the detected pathogens were to identify via nucleic acid sequencing analysis. In addition,the bacterial pathogens were isolated and identified,and used for screening sensitive drugs to guide clinical medication. The results showed that PCV2d and Aeromonas rivipollensis are the main pathogens causing the disease of pregnant sows in this pig farm,and the latter is sensitive to penicillin,amoxicillin,cefradine,and florfenicol,indicating that these candidate drugs can be used for clinical treatment.
