This work may be the first of its kind to assess the effects of varying inclusion levels of garlic nanoparticles (NPsG) as feed additives on growth and physiological indices in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). Garlic contains an organosulfur compound called allicin that can promote growth and strengthen the immune system by stimulating appetite and the intestinal flora, thus enhancing energy utilization.

Immunostimulantsare essential in aquaculture because they strengthen the immune system, enhance disease resistance, and improve the health of cultured aquatic species, especially under poor water quality and stressful conditions. They also promote better growth, survival, and antibody production without harmful side effects. As a safe alternative to antibiotics, immunostimulants support sustainable aquaculture and healthier fi...

Challenges to global food security, such as rising food demand and food prices in developing countries, are a growing concern. Building food system resilience is becoming recognised as an important strategy to mitigate these challenges. However, despite numerous studies on food system resilience and food price volatility, there is no consensus on how to measure it. Therefore, this study seeks to enhance the measurement of food...

Butternut ( Juglans cinerea L.) is a rapidly declining tree species threatened by Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum (Oc-j), the causal agent of butternut canker. The introduction of Japanese walnut ( Juglans ailantifolia Carrière), which hybridizes with butternut and exhibits greater resistance to the disease, presents both a conservation challenge and a potential avenue for genetic improvement. Identifying non-admixe...
