Volatility Formation in Dairy Futures: Fundamentals, Public Information, and Processing Ambiguity
ABSTRACT Class III milk futures cash‐settle to an administered price based on weekly component prices, creating a predictable within‐month flow of settlement‐relevant information. This paper studies drivers of cross‐month variation in realized volatility in this formula‐settled market.

Effect of Body Condition Score at Calving on Adaptive Immune Function During Early Lactation in New Zealand Dairy Cows: Effect of calving body condition on adaptive immune function [PDF]
The extent of postpartum negative energy balance in dairy cows is positively associated with body condition score (BCS) at calving. Results of epidemiological studies have indicated that calving BCS is positively correlated with several indicators of ...

Modeling daily energy balance of dairy cows in the first three lactations [PDF]
Daily energy balance was calculated for 111 Holstein cows in their first 3 lactations, based on combinations of smoothed preadjusted phenotypic records for milk yield, feed intake, live weight, and body condition score.

Multi‐omics reveals gastrointestinal metabolic disorder‐induced diarrhea in postpartum dairy cows
Nutritional diarrhea is a pervasive, costly challenge in dairy production. Using integrated metagenomic and metabolomic profiling, we identified coordinated microbial and metabolic alterations across the rumen, hindgut, and serum. In the rumen, enrichment of Prevotella sp.

Relationship between live weight and body condition score in Irish Holstein-Friesian dairy cows [PDF]
peer-reviewedThe objective of this study was to quantify the change in live weight (LWT) per unit change in body condition score (BCS) for Irish Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Mixed model analyses were performed on 82 948 test-day records of BCS and LWT

Regulation of tea polyphenols on oxidative stress-induced diseases in dairy cows
A series of metabolic stress and changes in external environment such as pregnancy, delivery, lactation and high concentrate feeding, can easily induce oxidative stress in the body of periparturient cows, and then lead to the decline of antioxidant ...

Mother Earth: Climate Justice, Infant Feeding Decisions, and Intimacy
ABSTRACT Human infants require milk. This can be parental milk provided directly from the parent's body (known as breastfeeding, chestfeeding, or nursing), expressed human milk, or infant formula milk. This article contributes to the literature on the ethics of infant feeding in two ways. First, it brings recent research on the climate impact of infant

Predicting methane production in dairy cows [PDF]
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, to which enteric fermentation from ruminants contributes significantly. Reliable and accurate predictions of methane (CH₄) production from dairy cows would be of interest to develop mitigation strategies and for ...
