Animal board invited review: An update on the methods for semen quality evaluation in swine – from farm to the lab by Carolina Maside, Sandra Recuero, Albert Salas-Huetos, Jordi Ribas-Maynou, Marc Yeste

“…Furthermore, sperm chromatin condensation and DNA integrity, despite not being routinely assessed, may also help determine the causes of reduced fertilising capacity. Sperm DNA integrity can be evaluated through direct (Comet, transferase deoxynucleotide nick end labelling (TUNEL) and its in situ nick variant) or indirect tests (Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay, Sperm Chromatin Dispersion Test), whereas chromatin condensation can be determined with Chromomycin A3. …”

Low Outcrossing from an Apple Field Trial Protected with Nets by Ina Schlathölter, Anna Dalbosco, Michael Meissle, Andrea Knauf, Alex Dallemulle, Beat Keller, Jörg Romeis, Giovanni A. L. Broggini, Andrea Patocchi

“…Over the study period, we found on average 0.9%, 0.5%, 0.4% and 0.09% of the seedlings derived from apples of ‘Nicogreen’ trees at 8 m, 15 m, 72 m and 117 m being generated by fertilisations of ‘Ladina’ pollen, respectively. In comparison, 48.3% (2018 season) and 75.1% (2019 season) of examined ‘Ladina’ seedlings in the netted plot originated from ‘Nicogreen’ tree pollen outside the netted plot. …”

Impact of climate change on soil nitric oxide and nitrous oxide emissions from typical land uses in Scotland by S Medinets, S White, N Cowan, J Drewer, J Dick, M Jones, C Andrews, D Harvey, U Skiba

“…All locations investigated were significant sources of N _2 O (range: 157–277 µ g N _2 O–N m ^−2 h ^−1 ) and low-to-moderate sources of NO emissions (range: 0.4–30.5 µ g NO–N m ^−2 h ^−1 ), with a general tendency to decrease with altitude and increase with fertiliser and atmospheric N inputs. Simulated climate warming and extreme events (drought, intensive rainfall) increased soil NO pulses and N _2 O emissions from both natural and managed ecosystems in the following order: natural Highlands < natural Lowlands < grazed grasslands < natural moorland receiving high NH _3 deposition rates. …”

Le phosphore dans les systèmes d'élevage by Jean-Yves DOURMAD, Anne BOUDON, Agnès NARCY

“… Le phosphore en agriculture constitue à la fois une ressource limitée et une source potentielle de pollution lorsqu'il est utilisé en excès comme fertilisant. Les systèmes d'élevages jouent un rôle particulièrement important dans les flux de phosphore, les déjections animales contribuant à l'échelle nationale à près de la moitié des apports sur les sols, avec une forte variabilité selon les régions. …”
