Identification of phenotypic predictors of milk yield losses in response to once-daily milking

, 2013
Extended milking intervals can reduce milk yield but this response is highly variable among cows. Identifying cows with the low milk yield loss associated with milking interval is difficult, restricting the development of milking practices such as once-daily milking.

Influence of Barn Climate, Body Postures and Milk Yield on the Respiration Rate of Dairy Cows [PDF]

, 2019
The main objective of this study was to identify the influences of different climatic conditions and cow-related factors on the respiration rate (RR) of lactating dairy cows. Measurements were performed on 84 lactating Holstein Friesian dairy cows (first

A Soft, Flexible Implant for Wireless Photothermal–Pyroelectric Neurostimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A replication strategy is used to enlarge the exposed surface area of barium titanate within flexible films with embedded carbon nanotubes, enabling efficient photothermal‐pyroelectric stimulation. Polar crystalline nanosheets show superior performance in guiding neural progenitor cells toward neuronal differentiation.

Trends in Heritability of Daily Milk Yield by Periods in Korean Cattle

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2003
Korean cattle breeders have shown interest in genetic improvement of milking ability because poor milking ability and short suckling period of Korean cattle is a hindrance to growth of calves. In this study, daily milk yields by period in Korean cattle were analyzed with an animal model.

CNTN2 Deficiency Disrupts Ascending Auditory Neuroglial Interactions and Redox Homeostasis in Neural Presbycusis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
. ABSTRACT Neural presbycusis disrupts auditory timing and speech perception, yet its molecular basis remains poorly understood. This study identifies Cntn2 as the Ranvier's nodal molecule significantly downregulated in aged auditory nerves. Cntn2 heterozygous knockout (Cntn2+/−) mice showed elevated auditory brainstem response thresholds and prolonged

GHRHR Deficiency Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Visual Functions in Experimental Glaucoma by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

Effects of calf sex, breed and parity on the lactation performance of dairy cows in Trinidad and Tobago

Discover Agriculture
Dairy farming is important for food and nutrition security and livelihood protection in most tropical countries. However, productivity of dairy cows is affected by many factors and is usually low on smallholder farms in tropical environments.

Associations Between Milk Composition, Blood Metabolomics, and Systemic Physiological Indices in High- vs. Low-Yielding Guanzhong Dairy Goats During Early Lactation

Veterinary Sciences
This study aimed to elucidate the intrinsic regulatory mechanisms by comparing milk quality, blood metabolomics, and physiological indices between high-yielding (BH, n = 15, high milk yield, daily milk yield with 4.08 ± 0.17 kg) and low-yielding (BL, n =

Microglial Deubiquitinase OTUD7B Stabilizes STAT3 to Promote Neuroinflammation and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
. ABSTRACT Neuroinflammation driven by microglial activation is a defining feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the molecular mechanisms sustaining this proinflammatory state remain unclear. Here, we identify the deubiquitinase OTUD7B as a critical regulator of microglial activation and AD pathology.

Genetic and phenotypic relationships among endocrine and traditional fertility traits and production traits in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows [PDF]

, 2002
The objective of this study was to estimate the heritability of a number of traditional and endocrine fertility traits in addition to d-56 predicted milk yield (MY56), and the genetic and phenotypic correlations between these traits.
