In an experiment, cinnamon oil effectively inhibited the growth of Shewanella putrefaciens, a microorganism responsible for the decay of protein products even at low storage temperatures. Even at minimal concentrations, the oil inhibited bacterial growth, damaged their internal and external membranes, disrupted cell integrity, and caused protein and nucleic acid leakage. Additionally, the essentia...

Experts note that future generations of Europeans will likely grow up with less meat in their diets, which they consider "necessary and beneficial" given the significant environmental impact of livestock farming. They point out that this activity accounts for more than half of the carbon footprint, and food as a whole accounts for almost half of the environmental impact in Europe. Lower cost alter...

The Historical Roots of Bratwurst According to traditional accounts, bratwurst first appeared in Bavaria, where it was first prepared and served at the Wurstkuchl tavern in Regensburg in the second half of the 14th century. The first mention of this tavern dates back to 1378, when it was registered in tax records. However, recent archaeological discoveries in Thuringia cast doubt on this theory. I...

The virus was found in flying foxes and bat samples from 2011. It is circulating in nature, but it is not yet possible to predict whether the pathogen will be transmitted to humans or whether there will be outbreaks, the expert warned.Scientists have discovered a new bat-borne virus in flying foxes living in Australia, The Telegraph reports. It has been namedSALT Gully. Jennifer Barr, an expert at...

Minsk became the scene of experiments, lectures, and unexpected discoveries for a day.

University scientists learned about new solutions in plant breeding A delegation of leading scientists from the Ural State Agrarian University, led by Rector Olga Loretts, participated in the 2nd All-Russian Forum of Plant Breeders and Seed Producers "Russian Field 2025" in Kazan on August 20-21. The event was organized by the National Family Alliance with the support of the Russian Ministry of Ag...

NNGASU's patented software determines the critical ambient temperature at which air heating is required in fattening pig houses. The solution also takes into account the biological heat transfer from the pigs, which affects the microclimate of the complex. To this end, specialists developed a special formula for calculating heat flow through walls, roofs, and windows, allowing for more accurate he...

Belarus is one of the world 's leading per capita consumers of whole milk products and butter. Here, we are ahead of the EU, Canada, and the United States . Moreover, our country is the largest exporter of all types of dairy products. Such figures would hardly have been achieved without the robust scientific support of the Scientific and Practical Center for Animal Husbandry of the National Academ...

Scientists from the Saint Petersburg State Agrarian University (SPbSAU) and specialists from the companies Gatchinskoye and Biotrof+ have determined how a probiotic feed supplement based on Bacillus sp.
