Genome‐wide scan for selective sweeps identifies novel loci associated with resistance to mastitis in German Holstein cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 140, Issue 1, Page 92-105, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Domestication and selection significantly changed phenotypic and behavioural traits in modern domestic animals. In this study, to identify the genomic regions associated with mastitis, genomic data of German Holstein dairy cattle were analysed. The samples were genotyped using the Bovine 50 K SNP chip.

Strategic, tactical, complex and simple changes to farm systems

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Pressure has grown to reconfigure commercial farm systems to ameliorate resource degradation as governments have increasingly sought to halt or reverse the damaging effects of agriculture on the environment. Now, climate change is creating additional pressure to redesign farm systems to withstand more variable, and historically more extreme ...

Teat sealant cannula insertion length is not associated with postcalving mastitis risk in cattle

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Internal teat sealants are commonly used at drying off, with or without intramammary antibiotics, to reduce the risk of mastitis. Both full and partial cannula options are available on most teat sealant and antibiotic tubes, but little evidence exists to support the selection of one option over the other.

A Self-attention Residual Convolutional Neural Network for Health Condition Classification of Cow Teat Images [PDF]

arXiv
Milk is a highly important consumer for Americans and the health of the cows' teats directly affects the quality of the milk. Traditionally, veterinarians manually assessed teat health by visually inspecting teat-end hyperkeratosis during the milking process which is limited in time, usually only tens of seconds, and weakens the accuracy of the health ...
