Estimation of 305-day milk yield from test-day records of Chinese Holstein cattle

open access: yesJournal of Applied Animal Research, 2018
This study compared six models, namely the Gaines, Sikka, Nelder, Wood, Dhanoa and Hayashi models, for the estimation of 305 days milk yield in Chinese Holstein cattle. We compared their ability to reliably predict 305-day lactation yield from incomplete

Hypocupræmia in Cattle [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1946
THE occurrence of a suspected copper deficiency in cattle in Aberdeenshire was recently reported1, the evidence being based on the low copper content of the pastures and on the similarity of the symptoms to those of ‘peat scours’ in New Zealand described by Cunningham2. No blood copper data were given to correlate the suspected low copper status of the

USP29‐regulated noncanonical stabilization of the hypoxia‐inducible factor‐α in aggressive prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We identify USP29 as the only DUB mirroring CA9 expression, a marker of hypoxia and HIF pathway activation associated with PCA aggressiveness. USP29 stabilizes HIF‐1α and HIF‐2α via a noncanonical mechanism that is independent of PHD/pVHL activity yet relies on proteasomal regulation, establishing USP29 as a previously unrecognized regulator of hypoxic

Modelling the effects of antimicrobial metaphylaxis and pen size on bovine respiratory disease in high and low risk fattening cattle

open access: yesVeterinary Research, 2022
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) dramatically affects young calves, especially in fattening facilities, and is difficult to understand, anticipate and control due to the multiplicity of factors involved in the onset and impact of this disease.
