Commented on Virtual reality for freely moving animals
In the industrial farming setting, virtual environments may not tackle the underlying causes of animal suffering. For example, this approach may make farmers feel like offering virtual reality to virtual poultry might overlook the root cause of the animal’s plight. This would be construed as only superficial animal welfare enhancement and not a real substantial systemic change.

Commented on Animals in Virtual Environments
Public knowledge of animal welfare and ethical animal farming can be significantly expanded using advanced multi-sensory technology and VR farm trips. Critically evaluated—One major fear is the question of habituation and its effect on creatures and their behaviour. Longitudinal studies indicate that initial advantages, from lowered stress to enhanced actions, may quickly diminish, leaving animals insensitive and non-responsive when exposed to metaverse-based virtual reality technologies.

Commented on The advantages of virtual dogs over virtual people: Using augmented reality to provide social support in stressful situations
Norouzi et al. speculated that virtual settings resembling nature can reduce animal stress and anxiety. Furthermore, incorporating digital twins has the potential to incorporate virtual environments. It can generate a humane environment, allowing meticulous monitoring and optimization of animal health and nutrition practices. This way, customised dietary programs can be developed, and diseases can be detected in advance, reducing the reliance on antibiotics and enhancing gentle animal welfare has the potential. Virtual environments can reduce antibiotic use by lowering stress and enabling prompt disease diagnosis.

Commented on Future perspectives on progressive farming with adoption of virtual reality technology for sustainable quality in agriculture
Virtual environments promise cost savings and ecological benefits for animal farming, but it is important to consider their ethics and limitations thoroughly. New virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies are revolutionizing animal farming by influencing welfare, operational efficiency, and ecological considerations. The innovations serve a purpose in learning, training, scenario testing, health monitoring, stress reduction, and sustainable behaviorization.

Commented on The Metaverse, gamification, NFTs, ...
The metaverse is a virtual world where real-world aspects fuse with artificial intelligence, immersive experience, and high-level digital connectivity. The metaverse is finding its way into animal farming, which offers crucial opportunities for addressing climate change and sustainable food production. However, the application of the metaverse in managing livestock raises several ethical questions. The metaverse promises a future where immersive farming experiences enhance animal welfare and sustainable practices.

Commented on Virtual & Augmented Reality
Virtual reality and other related technologies provide a possiblesolution to the ethics dissents in the sector. The technology isbelieved to cost less and improve the animals' living situation, as described in S. Neethirajan's Metaverse for Modern Animal Farming. The evolving technology has the potential to resolve most of thechallenges facing modern farming. However, it should induce anotherethical debate on its capacities. To cultivate and use virtualenvironments in the sector responsibly, we must use ethicalscepticism to measures such as the impacts on animal welfare, theenvironment, and interaction with humans. The trend can make the useof technology humbler, long-standing, and without an effect.

Commented on Are automated sensors a reliable tool to estimate behavioural activities in grazing beef cattle?
An excellent example of improving animal well-being is the introduction of the automated bird retrieving system in poultry farming, which significantly reduced the number of keel bone fractures and lowered stress levels before slaughter. Similarly, the introduction of robotic calf feeders replaced the traditional solitary houses, thereby encouraging socialization among calves while providing the appropriate nutritional diets, such as promoting cognitive growth and negating the impact of loneliness. These examples underscore the role of precision farming in addressing specific farming constraints.

Commented on Emerging Issues in Science and Mathematics Education
I recommend the book Polyadic Groups, which delves into the theory of polyadic groups, exploring their normal subgroups, matrix representations, and properties distinct from binary groups. These unique properties connect polyadic groups to group-like algebras, ternary Hopf algebras, and n-Lie algebras. The book also examines connections between polyadic groups and special types of binary groups, along with the categories of polyadic groups and the relationships between their varieties. https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.1201/9781032703541/polyadic-groups-wieslaw-dudek
