A biomimetic ducted nipple reveals gestational age‐dependent deficits in suction generation in a neonatal pig model

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract All infant mammals must suckle in order to effectively acquire milk from a nipple. Yet, not all infants are able to do so. Preterm infants in particular face significant feeding challenges, often failing to establish successful breastfeeding due to complex neurophysiologic challenges.

Suckling systems in calf rearing in organic dairy farming in the Netherlands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In an on-farm experiment three calf rearing methods were compared: bucket feeding of milk replacer, bucket feeding of tank milk and suckling of mother or nurse cow up to three months of age.

Thyroidal response to peroral TSH in suckling and weaned rats

open access: yes, 1980
The biological activity of perorally administered bovine thyroid-stimulating hormone (bTSH) was investigated in suckling (14-day-old) and weaned (30-day-old) rats.

Recent Advances in Virus–Host Interactions, Antiviral Bioactive Compounds, and Breeding for Disease Resistance of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Basic research on the PEDV infection cycle and virus–host interactions advances the development of anti‐PEDV drugs and disease‐resistant breeding and helps strengthen disease prevention and control while reducing economic losses in the swine industry.

Involvement of histamine in suckling-induced release of oxytocin, prolactin and adrenocorticotropin in lactating rats

open access: yes, 1996
We have previously shown that histaminergic neurons participate in mediation of the prolactin (PRL), adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and oxytocin responses to physiological stimuli such as stress and dehydration.

Modulation of Animal Gut Health by Milk Oligosaccharide

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the composition and structural characteristics of MOs across different mammalian species, and elucidates their roles and mechanisms in maintaining intestinal homeostasis by regulating gut microbiome and enhancing intestinal chemical, physical and immune barriers.

Determination of rearing practices combinations increasing the carcase weight according to the heifers slaughter age by the decision tree method

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2021
This work aims to identify the rearing practices which increase the carcase weight according to slaughter age. For this purpose, an innovative statistical method, the decision tree method, was used to identify the most influential action levers on the ...

Effect of Suckling Management and Ewe Concentrate Level on Methane-Related Carbon Footprint of Lamb Meat in Sardinian Dairy Sheep Farming

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
The aim of this study was to estimate the methane-linked carbon footprint (CF) of the suckling lamb meat of Mediterranean dairy sheep. Ninety-six Sarda dairy ewes, divided into four groups of 24 animals each, were assigned to 2 × 2 factorial design.

Validation of a stall‐side immunoglobulin assay for use in equine reproductive management

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine foals receive IgG from mare colostrum through passive transfer. Failure of passive transfer (FPT) is a significant risk to the foal's life, leaving them vulnerable to infection and sepsis. Radial Immunodiffusion (RID) and immunoturbidimetric assays quantify IgG present in a foal sample but require a laboratory to complete ...

Factors affecting the time to first suckling in dairy calves

open access: yes, 1982
The time from birth to first suckling was recorded for 161 dairy calves. Of these calves, 0·32 failed to suckle within the first 6h of life. The most important factor determining the time to first suckling was the udder conformation of the dam but delays
