Genetic structure analysis of Spirometra erinaceieuropaei isolates from central and southern China.
BackgroundSparganosis caused by invasion of the plerocercoid larvae (spargana) of Spirometra erinaceieuropaei have increased in recent years in China. However, the population genetic structure regarding this parasite is still unclear.

Association between age at first calving and lactation performance, lactation curve, calving interval, calf birth weight, and dystocia in Holstein dairy cows. [PDF]
In the present study, records on 115,291 heifers distributed in 113 herds were used to investigate the association between age at the first calving (AFC) and lactation performance, lactation curve, the length of the first calving interval (CI), calf ...

Herd level economic comparison between the shape of the lactation curve and 305 d milk production [PDF]
Herd milk production performance is generally evaluated using the herd's average 305-day milk production (HM305). Economic comparisons between herds are also often made using HM305.

Genome-wide association for milk production and lactation curve parameters in Holstein dairy cows [PDF]
The aim of this study was to identify genomic regions associated with 305-day milk yield and lactation curve parameters on primiparous (n = 9,910) and multiparous (n = 11,158) Holstein cows.

Predicting Positive ELISA Results in Dairy Herds with a Preferred Status in a Paratuberculosis Control Program [PDF]
Dairy herds participating in the Dutch milk quality assurance program for paratubercu-losis are assigned a herd status on the basis of herd examinations by ELISA of individual serum or milk samples, followed by an optional confirmatory fecal PCR.

A Study on Characteristics of Rolling in Head Waves of a Vessel with Nonlinear GZ-curve
In this study, the characteristics of rolling in head waves for a vessel with nonlinear GZ-curve, which includes parametric rolling, are investigated. Rolling is measured for systematically changed wave length and height under the same forward speed, which is service speed in heavy weather.

Leveraging latent representations for milk yield prediction and interpolation using deep learning
In this study, we propose a lactation model that estimates the daily milk yield by using autoencoders to generate a latent representation of all milk yields observed during the entire lactation cycle, irrespective of the length of the time interval ...
