Supplementation of rumen-protected microalgae high in docosahexaenoic acid to lactating dairy cows: Dynamics of lactation performance, milk and plasma fatty acids, and transfer rate of docosahexaenoic acid to milk

Journal of Dairy Science
: This study evaluated the effects of rumen-protected Schizochytrium powder (SP) on dynamics of lactation performance, plasma and milk fatty acids (FA) profiles, and transfer rate of DHA to milk in dairy cows.

Microfabricated Anisotropic Myobundles for the Scalable Production of Cardiac Tissue Grafts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling the anisotropy of cardiac tissue remains an outstanding challenge in the field of cardiac tissue engineering. Here, we introduce an approach to generate anisotropic cardiac myobundles using cell‐adhesive, synthetic, electrospun fibers and stem cell‐derived cardiac fibroblasts.

Exogenous lactate supply affects lactate kinetics of rainbow trout, not swimming performance

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2014
Intense swimming causes circulatory lactate accumulation in rainbow trout because lactate disposal ( Rd) is not stimulated as strongly as lactate appearance ( Ra). This mismatch suggests that maximal Rdis limited by tissue capacity to metabolize lactate. This study uses exogenous lactate to investigate what constrains maximal Rdand minimal Ra.

Estrogen Dynamics and Hormonal Differences Associated with Lactational Performance of Cows Induced to Lactate

Journal of Dairy Science, 1977
Abstract Five nonpregnant and nonlactating Holsteins (three cows and two heifers) were injected subcutaneously each 12 b of days 1 to 7 with estradiol-17 β and progesterone (.1mg and .25 mg/day per kg bodyweight) dissolved in absolute ethanol to induce lactation.

High-dose phytosterols supplementation improves lactation performance, modulates rumen microbiota, and reduces methane emission intensity in mid-lactation Holstein dairy cows [PDF]

Veterinary World
Background and Aim: Enteric methane emission from dairy cows contributes substantially to greenhouse gas production and represents an inefficient loss of dietary energy.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

LACTATION PERFORMANCE AND LACTATION CURVE TRAITS IN GRAZING KATAHDIN SHEEP

Chilean journal of agricultural & animal sciences
The aim of this study was to assess lactation traits, lactation curve shape and curve parameters in Katahdin sheep under a grazing-based feeding system. A total of 27 second-parity Katahdin ewes were evaluated. The animals were kept on a pasture composed of cool-season grasses and legumes.

Effects of Methionine on Milk Performance and Milk Constituents of Lactating Donkeys

Animals
This study investigated the effects of adding methionine (Met) in milk production and the milk and blood metabolites of lactating donkeys. Eighteen healthy multiparous donkeys in early-stage lactation were selected for this study.
