Multi-omics profiling of dairy cattle oxidative stress identifies hindgut-derived Phascolarctobacterium succinatutens exhibiting antioxidant activity

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
An imbalance between oxidative and antioxidant processes in the host can lead to excessive oxidation, a condition known as oxidative stress (OS). Although changes in the hindgut microbiota have been frequently linked to OS, the specific microbial and ...

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Core microbe Bifidobacterium in the hindgut of calves improves the growth phenotype of young hosts by regulating microbial functions and host metabolism

Microbiome
Background The growth and health of young ruminants are regulated by their gut microbiome, which can have lifelong consequences. Compared with subjective grouping, phenotypic clustering might be a more comprehensive approach to revealing the relationship

Effects of Dietary Forage Proportion on Feed Intake, Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, and Enteric Methane Emissions of Holstein Heifers at Various Growth Stages

Animals, 2019
Enteric methane (CH4) emissions from young ruminants contribute to a substantial proportion of atmospheric CH4 accumulation. Development of emission inventory and mitigation approaches needs accurate estimation of individual emission from animals under ...

Follicle Stimulating Hormone in Cattle Breeding: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Scope

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
FSH is crucial in cattle reproduction, with exogenous administration enhancing breeding and embryo production. Recombinant FSH offers advantages over pituitary‐extracted variants, including fewer injections, reduced stress, and safer production. These innovations improve breeding efficiency, optimize reproductive outcomes, and contribute to sustainable

Maternal gastrointestinal microbiome shapes gut microbial function and resistome of newborns in a cow-to-calf model

Microbiome
Background The maternal gut microbiome is the direct and important source of early colonization and development of the neonatal gut microbiome. However, differences in unique and shared features between mothers with different physiological phenotypes and

Disorders of acid-base balance promote rumen lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in dairy cows by modulating the microbiome

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionDisorders of acid-base balance in the rumen of dairy cows have a significant impact on their health and performance. However, the effect of transient differences in pH on susceptibility to subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) and ...

Understanding Interactions Between Sustainable Development Goals Within and Between Policy Programmes: The Case of Kenya's Dairy Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving Agenda 2030 depends on addressing interactions between the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this paper, we conceptualize SDG interactions as synergies or trade‐offs, incoming or outgoing, and internal or external, and analyze how SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) interacts with other SDGs within and across policy programmes that support ...

Assessment of current colostrum feeding practices and passive transfer of immunity in dairy herds in Great Britain: A cross‐sectional study

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Updated targets for measuring transfer of passive immunity (TPI) at the herd level have been suggested, but the current performance of dairy herds in Great Britain is unknown. Methods A cross‐sectional study was performed. Serum total protein (STP) data collected between October 2022 and October 2023 by 21 veterinary practices were ...
