Abstract A potential ban on tie-stall housing for cattle in the European Union raises concerns about the sustainability of dairy farms, particularly in marginal rural areas. This study assessed dairy farmers’ willingness to transition from tie-stall to loose housing systems and identified the main barriers to this change. A structured questionnaire was administered to dairy farmers using tie-stall systems in the Veneto region (Northern Italy).

Abstract Optimising reproduction of Tenebrio molitor (TM) is a key factor for improving farm productivity. Three experiments were conducted to investigate how beetles size influences reproductive performance of TM. Experiment 1 (1a and 1b) assessed size-based mate preferences among 14–day-old beetles. In 1a, beetles were grouped into four weight categories across 18 replicates; 1b involved two groups with 76 replicates. Mating behaviour was analysed among mixed-size males and females.
