Metatranscriptomics Reveals the Active Bacterial and Eukaryotic Fibrolytic Communities in the Rumen of Dairy Cow Fed a Mixed Diet

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Ruminants have a unique ability to derive energy from the degradation of plant polysaccharides through the activity of the rumen microbiota. Although this process is well studied in vitro, knowledge gaps remain regarding the relative contribution of the ...

Assessment of animal health and production constraints: The case of three districts

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 391-399, January 2023., 2023
Animal production is the backbone of Ethiopia's agricultural development but it is not well exploited due to various factors. Thus, the objective of the study is to assess the key issues related to animal health and production in three purposively selected districts of East Wollega zone. For cattle breeding, uncontrolled natural mating is used in Gidda

Predicting Illness for a Sustainable Dairy Agriculture: Predicting and Explaining the Onset of Mastitis in Dairy Cows [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Mastitis is a billion dollar health problem for the modern dairy industry, with implications for antibiotic resistance. The use of AI techniques to identify the early onset of this disease, thus has significant implications for the sustainability of this agricultural sector.

LPS-induced reduction of triglyceride synthesis and secretion in dairy cow mammary epithelial cells via decreased SREBP1 expression and activity.

Journal of Dairy Research, 2018
Sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) has a central regulatory effect on milk fat synthesis. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) can induce mastitis and cause milk fat depression in cows.

Use of PCR to determine Toxoplasma gondii in milk samples from camels (Camelus dromedarius), cattle (Bos taurus) and buffalos (Bubalus bubalis) in East Azarbaijan province, Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 400-404, January 2023., 2023
Toxoplasma gondii is a food‐borne zoonotic parasite that infects humans. The results demonstrate the presence of the DNA of T. gondii in buffalo, cow and camel's milk. Consumption of raw milk of different animals can be a risk factor for human health. To prevent infection with T. gondii, it is recommended to boil milk before consumption.

BovineTalk: Machine Learning for Vocalization Analysis of Dairy Cattle under Negative Affective States [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
There is a critical need to develop and validate non-invasive animal-based indicators of affective states in livestock species, in order to integrate them into on-farm assessment protocols, potentially via the use of precision livestock farming (PLF) tools. One such promising approach is the use of vocal indicators.

Individual Variation Affects Outbreak Magnitude and Predictability in an Extended Multi-Pathogen SIR Model of Pigeons Vising Dairy Farms [PDF]

, 2023
Zoonotic disease transmission between animals and humans is a growing risk and the agricultural context acts as a likely point of transition, with individual heterogeneity acting as an important contributor. Thus, understanding the dynamics of disease spread in the wildlife-livestock interface is crucial for mitigating these risks of transmission ...

Commercial Dairy Cow Milk microRNAs Resist Digestion under Simulated Gastrointestinal Tract Conditions.

Journal of NutriLife, 2016
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs are small, gene-regulatory noncoding RNA species present in large amounts in milk, where they seem to be protected against degradative conditions, presumably because of their association with exosomes.

Identification of potential antigenic peptides of Brucella through proteome and peptidome

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 523-534, January 2023., 2023
Based on proteomics and peptidomics, we identified 35 peptides from the Brucella proteome, which have the ability to bind MHC molecules and have the potential to be used in vaccine design. In addition, we also found four Brucella proteins containing the identified MHC‐I and MHC‐II binding peptides, which may be good candidate targets for designing ...
