Using Supervised Machine Learning Algorithms to Predict Bovine Leukemia Virus Seropositivity in Florida Beef Cattle: A 10‐Year Retrospective Study

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection in beef cattle has received less attention than in dairy herds, despite its potential impact on the beef industry. Objectives To compare six different supervised machine‐learning (SML) algorithms used to identify the most important risk factors for predicting BLV seropositivity in beef cattle in

Precise profiling of behavioral time budgets of finishing Wagyu steers using linear mixed model

Smart Agricultural Technology
The aim of this study was to identify behavioral characteristics of Wagyu beef cattle recorded by neck collar sensors. Although understanding Wagyu-specific traits is essential for precision livestock farming, data from behavioral monitoring sensors are ...

Fertility Traits in Japanese Black Cows in Farms Classified by Calving Intervals Using Epidemiological Methods

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 60, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The calving interval (CI) is an important determinant of reproductive performance in Japanese Black cattle. The present study aimed to compare individual fertility traits among farms classified by CI. In total, 49,780 artificial insemination (AI) records for 7327 cows from 2011 to 2014 were obtained from 622 farms located in Miyazaki, Japan ...

Longitudinal muscle gene expression patterns associated with differential intramuscular fat in cattle

Animal, 2015
Intramuscular fat (IMF) can improve meat product quality through its impact on flavour and juiciness. High marbling cuts can command premium prices in some countries and grading systems, but there is substantial cost involved in choosing to grain feed ...

Trisomy 26 in a Holstein calf with disorders of sex development

Animal Genetics, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Hypospadias occurs sporadically in male livestock and is characterized by a non‐fused urethra during fetal development. In this study, perineal hypospadias, a bifid scrotum, penile hypoplasia, and bilateral abdominal cryptorchidism were diagnosed in a neonatal Holstein male calf.

Four Target Resequencing for the Bovine Major Histocompatibility Complex Region. Proof of Concept

HLA, Volume 105, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT The bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA) comprises four regions that contain a high density of polymorphic genes and frequently show gene copy number variations (CNV). Therefore, genotyping BoLA using genome‐wide resequencing is difficult. This study aimed to develop four probe sets for resequencing of the BoLA region using a hybridization capture ...

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Alleviates Palmitic Acid–Induced Apoptosis in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells

Animal Science Journal, Volume 96, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the protective effects of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) against PA‐induced apoptosis in the MAC‐T bovine mammary epithelial cell (bMEC) line by assessing the level of cell viability, oxidative stress indicators, and expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers.

Estimation of total-tract starch digestibility using fecal starch concentration in fattening Japanese Black cattle

Scientific Reports
Fattening Japanese Black cattle (Wagyu), renowned for producing marbled beef, derive essential energy from starch. While fecal starch concentration (FSC) can estimate total-tract starch digestibility (TTSD), equations developed for other beef production ...

A Comparison of Three Camera Technology Predictions of Intramuscular Fat Percentage in F1 Wagyu

Meat and Muscle Biology
The prevalence of highly marbled cattle breeds, such as Wagyu, has increased in the US due to consumer demand for higher-quality beef. The ability to grade highly marbled carcasses accurately and consistently, particularly with quantifying intramuscular ...
