Epidemiological Insights Into BVDV and IBRV in Feeder Cattle After Cross‐Regional Transport in China 2022–2024: Coinfection Dynamics and Implications for BRDC Control

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) are key components of the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) in China’s cross‐regional feeder system. We quantified antibody and antigen positivity and identified epidemiological determinants across provinces, seasons, years, and clinical status ...

The Effects of SNPs in the LCORL and LTBP2 Genes on Comprehensive Performance Traits in Charolais Sheep

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Charolais sheep is a world‐renowned breed of meat sheep, known for its large frame, heavy muscling, and rapid growth. A novel breed, the Chao Mu meat sheep, has been developed by utilizing the Charolais sheep as the paternal line. This advancement has significantly contributed to the genetic enhancement and breeding of indigenous meat sheep in ...

Rumen Epithelial Transcriptome Analysis Revealed the Regulatory Mechanism of Host Adaptation to Nitrogen Source Replacement Diet in Simmental Cattle

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
The findings of this study suggest that urea replacement of some soybean meal feeding activates compensatory mechanisms in the rumen epithelium to maintain homeostasis of the organism through dynamic changes in intercellular junctions and adaptive up‐regulation of metabolic pathways.

Single‐Step Genome‐Wide Association Study of Factors for Evaluated and Linearly Scored Traits in Swedish Warmblood Horses

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 142, Issue 5, Page 499-512, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Swedish Warmblood horses (SWB) are bred for show jumping and/or dressage with young horse test scores as indicator traits. This study aimed to investigate possible candidate genes and regions of importance for evaluated and linearly scored young horse test traits.

Good policy evaluation needs good data—A note on the use of environmental indicators in agricultural production analysis

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract In recent years, the concept of sustainably increasing productivity in agriculture has gained popularity in agricultural policy debates. This has also raised interest among agricultural economists, especially production economists, in including environmental outcomes in efficiency or productivity analyses and in identifying sources of ...

Yak (Bos grunniens) Meat Peptides: Effects on Immunity, Hypoxia Tolerance, and Antioxidant Capacity in Hypotonic Hypoxia Mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Yak meat peptides can increase immune cell content, oxygen transport capacity, and antioxidant enzyme activities in hypotonic hypoxic mice. Meanwhile, they can reduce oxidative stress, thus enhancing the immunity, antioxidant capacity, and hypoxia tolerance of these mice. They also upregulate hypoxia‐related genes HIF and EPO.

Detection of Arachnomelia Syndrome in Simmental Cattle in Türkiye

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
The first identification of MOCS1‐related Arachnomelia Syndrome in Simmental cattle in Türkiye reveals a 1.03% carrier rate. Genetic screening and removal of carriers are recommended to prevent the spread of this lethal hereditary disorder. ABSTRACT Hereditary diseases in cattle lead to economic losses across various breeds worldwide, with arachnomelia
