Cover Story: How does the peptide profile of dairy cow dry secretions change during the dry-off period, and how does it differ between healthy cows and those with subclinical mastitis? Peptidomic analysis was used to characterize dry secretions collected at Day 2 and Day 21 of the dry period. Distinct peptide patterns were detected between health statuses and across time points, with 1235 peptides identified, many linked to antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory functions. These findings provide new insights into udder health, mastitis susceptibility, and dry period dynamics, offering potential biomarkers for early mastitis detection and improved dairy management.
