Mastitis, the most frequent disease in dairy cattle. Resistance to mastitis is a complex,
polygenic trait controlled by several genes, each with small effects. Genome-wide …

Simple Summary This review critically examined the literature on the interaction between
insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic inflammation in transition dairy cows. Our review …

Milk composition, particularly milk fatty acids, has been extensively studied as an indicator of
the metabolic status of dairy cows during early lactation. In addition to milk biomarkers, on …

The transition period is one of the most challenging periods in the lactation cycle of high-
yielding dairy cows. It is commonly known to be associated with diminished animal welfare …

Simple Summary Escherichia coli is a bacterium which infects cow udders causing clinical
mastitis, a potentially severe disease with welfare and economic consequences. During an …

Background The insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and growth hormone (GH) genes have
been identified as major regulators of milk yield and composition, and reproductive …

Due to the negative impact of Haemonchus contortus in the tropics and subtropics, the
detection of serum protein profiles that occur in infected sheep is of high relevance for …

We report the generation of an organism-wide catalog of 976,813 cis-acting regulatory
elements for the bovine detected by the assay for transposase accessible chromatin using …

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding a Bacillus-based direct-fed
microbial (DFM) on performance, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation, and metabolic …

Cows can live for over 20 years, but their productive lifespan averages only around 3 years
after first calving. Liver dysfunction can reduce lifespan by increasing the risk of metabolic …
