EFSA Journal, 2023 This Scientific Opinion addresses a European Commission's mandate on the welfare of dairy cows as part of the Farm to Fork strategy. It includes three assessments carried out based on literature reviews and complemented by expert opinion. Assessment 1 describes the most prevalent housing systems for dairy cows in Europe: tie-stalls, cubicle housing ...

Effect of Dietary and Age Changes on Ruminal Microbial Diversity in Holstein Calves
Microorganisms, 2023 Ruminal microorganisms play a crucial role in the energy supply of ruminants and animal performance. We analyzed the variations in rumen bacteria and fungi at 45 d, 75 d, and 105 d by using 16SrRNA and ITS sequencing data and investigated their ...

Metabolomics reveals potential biomarkers in the rumen fluid of dairy cows with different levels of milk production [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020 Objective In the present study, an liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) metabolomics approach was performed to investigate potential biomarkers of milk production in high- and low-milk-yield dairy cows and to establish correlations among rumen

Effects of Anemoside B4 on Plasma Metabolites in Cows with Clinical Mastitis
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 Anemoside B4 has a good curative effect on cows with CM; however, its impact on their metabolic profiles is unclear. Based on similar somatic cell counts and clinical symptoms, nine healthy dairy cows and nine cows with CM were selected, respectively ...

Investigating cow−calf contact in a cow-driven system: performance of cow and calf [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Research, 2021 AbstractIn this research communication we describe the performance of dairy cow−calf pairs in two cow-driven CCC-systems differing in cows' access to the calves through computer-controlled access gates (smart gates, SG). We investigated cows' machine milk yield in the automatic milking system (AMS), calf growth, and intake of supplemental milk and ...
