Study finds trust is the missing ingredient for AI-driven food safety
Cornell University CVM
Artificial intelligence promises to transform food safety by helping companies identify risks earlier, predict outbreaks and learn from patterns too rare for any one company to detect alone.

Since 2010, mayors and local legislative leaders have tried to outlaw horse-drawn carriages from operating in Central Park, citing concerns about the safety of the animals as several have died in accidents and from exhaustion.

Grazing muzzles and insulin responses in horses
The Horse
Grazing muzzles limit pasture intake in horses, but until recently researchers had not tested how wearing one affects insulin responses in individuals with insulin dysregulation (ID). In a new University of Kentucky (UK) study, ID horses had lower insulin concentrations while wearing muzzles than when grazing without them.
