Neurophysiology of Milk Ejection and Prestimulation in Dairy Buffaloes
Animals, 2022 The present review aims to integrate the anatomical characteristics of the mammary gland and the neurophysiology of milk ejection to understand the milking capacity of the water buffalo. Since one of the main uses of this species is milk production, this

Characteristics, recent evolution, and ongoing retreat of Hunt Fjord Ice Shelf, northern Greenland
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Arctic ice shelves have declined over the past several decades, one of many indications of a rapidly changing cryosphere. Here we use a collection of off-nadir Landsat 8 images, a 1978 digital orthophotograph and photogrammetrically derived DEM ...

Association between body condition score and live weight in pasture-based Holstein-Friesian dairy cows [PDF]
, 2006 peer-reviewedThe objective was to quantify the strength of the relationship between body condition score (BCS) and live weight (LW) in pasture-based Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle, and to determine the kg LW per unit BCS.
