Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.The effects of restricted nursing (RN) and the administration of a bovine appeasing substance (BAS) on days −8 and 0 in relation to weaning were evaluated. Both strategies were effective in improving the growth performance of beef calves. Regarding welfare, BAS ‐especially on day 0‐ was more effective than RN.

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.This study aimed to investigate the potential of a mannan‐rich fraction (MRF) as a dietary intervention to alleviate weaning stress in piglets. Our results revealed that MRF could alleviate weaning stress by modulating the gut microbiota and the TLR5/NF‐κB signaling pathway, offering a novel and sustainable alternative to antibiotic use in swine ...

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Myo‐inositol alleviates oxidative stress in dairy cow mammary epithelial cells via the Sirt5/Nrf2 pathway to promote mitochondrial fusion. This graphical abstract was created with BioRender.com. ABSTRACT High‐yielding dairy cows are susceptible to mammary gland oxidative stress due to prolonged intensive lactation, leading to redox imbalance.

Drying off the dairy cow [PDF]
, 2006 Most dairy cows generally have a non-lactating, “dry period” prior to parturition. As the milk production of dairy cows has increased dramatically during the last decades, cows managed conventionally with a 12 to 13 month-calving interval are dried off ...
