One major environmental concern is the lead (Pb) pollution from automobile traffic, especially in highway-side grazing areas. Sheep Pb-contaminated areas are particularly vulnerable because Pb exposure soil, water, and feed can have harmful effects that impair their general health, reproductive capability, immune systems. Long-term hazards to cattle persistent include neurotoxicity, hematological abnormalities, health problems, immunosuppression. These serious consequences, such as reduced productivity even mortality. Additionally, through food chain, bioaccumulation lamb tissues directly endangers human health. poisoning caused by a variety of intricate mechanisms, including disturbances calcium-dependent processes, oxidative stress, enzyme inhibition. To mitigate these risks, an interdisciplinary approach essential, combining expertise science, toxicology, animal husbandry, public Effective strategies rotational grazing, alternative foraging options, mineral supplementation, soil remediation techniques like phytoremediation. implementation stringent regulatory measures, continuous monitoring, community-based initiatives vital. This review emphasizes need for comprehensive multidisciplinary methodologies address ecological, agricultural, impacts pollution. By integrating scientific policy it possible ensure long-term sustainability systems, protect livestock maintain ecosystem integrity.

Sheep casein and whey proteins, α-lactalbumin, β-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin 1/B, are good sources of bioactive peptides that have potential health benefits including antimicrobial, antioxidant, antihypertensive, immunomodulatory activities. The following paper discusses the in-silico analysis these proteins retrieved from UniProtKB database, with emphasis on their amino acid compositions formed after hydrolysis pepsin trypsin. Their physicochemical properties, bioactivity, allergenicity were determined by use sophisticated bioinformatics tools. One interesting findings includes inhibition activity against dipeptidyl peptidase IV, which might be great importance in management type 2 diabetes. predictions where a mixed bag as some had to flagged allergens due similarities sequence bovine milk. Others predicted nonallergenic safer for further use. results suggest sheep could potentially used food pharmaceutical applications, although need experimental validation, especially safety, is critical. In-silico approaches provide an efficient cost-effective means screening peptides.
