Caprine arthritis-encephalitis (CAE) is a persistent lentivirus infection of goats. One source of CAE virus (CAEV) transmission is colostrum and milk. The source of horizontal transmission in the absence of lactation remains unknown; however, faeces and lung fluids are known to harbour infectious virus. The distribution of CAEV is highest in industrialised countries and seems to have coincided with the international movement of European breeds of dairy goats. (Adapted from WOAH, 2024.

Nitrogen balance is the difference between nitrogen excreted from the body and nitrogen ingested in the diet (of which the greater part by far is protein). (A.E. Bender, in Encyclopedia of Food Sciences and Nutrition (Second Edition), 2003.)

Raised beds are freestanding garden beds constructed above ground level. "Raised" means that the soil level in the bed is higher than the surrounding soil. (https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/design/types-of-gardens/raised-beds.html)
Brightness temperature or radiance temperature is the temperature at which a black body in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings would have to be in order to duplicate the observed intensity of a grey body object at a frequency. This concept is used in radio astronomy, planetary science and materials science. The brightness temperature of a surface is typically determined by an optical measurement, for example using a pyrometer, with the intention of determining the real temperature. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness_temperature)
Territorial development is the transformation process of a given rural area in order to improve the life condition of its population. Reduction of rural poverty is a crucial objective. Territorial development fosters productive transformation, and propels institutional change.
