From:Veterinary World (Vol. 11, Issue 6)Aim: The current study aimed to compare the impact of heat stress (HS) on some physiological functions and blood oxidative stress biomarkers between dry dairy crossbred (Balady X Friesian) cows and buffaloes during...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedA genotypic characterization of Streptococcus uberis isolated from clinical mastitis (CM) in dairy cows, and the association of Strep. uberis genotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility (AMS) was performed. A total of 89...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedInfections of the cow udder leading to mastitis and reducing milk quality are a critical challenge facing all dairy farmers. Mastitis may be linked to the ecological disruption of an endogenous mammary microbial...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 15, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedClinical ketosis (CK) and subclinical ketosis (SCK) are associated with lower milk production, lower reproductive performance, an increased culling of cows and an increased probability of other disorders. Quantifying the...

From:Genetics Selection Evolution (Vol. 52, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Production and health traits are central in cattle breeding. Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and genotype imputation have increased the resolution of gene mapping based on genome-wide...
-
From:Genetics Selection Evolution (Vol. 52, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground X-chromosomal loci present different inheritance patterns compared to autosomal loci and must be modeled accordingly. Sexual chromosomes are not systematically considered in whole-genome relationship...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 15, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedAutonomic nervous function evaluated by heart rate variability (HRV) and blood characteristics were compared between Holstein Friesian cows that developed postpartum fever (PF; n = 5) and clinically healthy (CH; n = 6)...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedMembers of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) gene family occupy key roles in the mammalian innate immune system by functioning as sentries for the detection of invading pathogens, thereafter provoking host innate immune...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedDecreasing the use of antimicrobials has become a primary objective for both human and veterinary medicine in many countries. Medical prevention and good nutrition are seen as key parameters for reducing antimicrobial...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 13, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedWe assessed dairy cows' body postures while they were performing different stationary activities in a loose housing system and then used the variation within and between individuals to identify potential connections...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 12, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedOil supplementation in dairy cattle diets is used to modulate milk fat composition, as well as the expression of mammary lipogenic genes, whose regulation remains unclear. MiRNAs are small non-coding RNA considered as...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedHeat stress decreases milk yield and deleteriously alters milk composition. Reduced feed intake partially explains some of the consequences of heat stress, but metabolic changes in the mammary tissue and liver...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 16, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedIn several developing countries, studies on antimicrobial resistance among bacteria from food animals are rare mostly because of under-resourced laboratories. The objective of this study was to develop and field-test a...
-
From:Genetics Selection Evolution (Vol. 47, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Genetic selection has been successful in achieving increased production in dairy cattle; however, corresponding declines in fitness traits have been documented. Selection for fitness traits is more...
-
From:Genetics Selection Evolution (Vol. 45, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground One method to improve durably animal welfare is to select, as reproducers, animals with the highest ability to resist or tolerate infection. To do so, it is necessary to distinguish direct and indirect...
-
From:Genetics Selection Evolution (Vol. 53, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground India is the largest milk producer globally, with the largest proportion of cattle milk production coming from smallholder farms with an average herd size of less than two milking cows. These cows are mainly...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 16, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedArtificial light can be used as a management tool to increase milk yield in dairy production. However, little is known about how cows respond to the spectral composition of light. The aim of this study was to investigate...
