Utilizing agro-industrial by-products to feed livestock is crucial for environmental protection and, simultaneously, lowering production and feeding costs. In light of these aims, in this study, two trials were conducted to evaluate the impact of joj...

Hyperketonemia (HYK) is a common disorder in high-producing dairy cows, resulting in significant economic losses. Defined by elevated beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB; ≥1.2 mmol/L) without clinical signs, HYK is often considered a gateway disease, predis...

This study evaluated two techniques for encapsulating Lactiplantibacillus plantarum using bovine lactoferrin and sodium alginate. The first method involved a layer-by-layer (LbL) coating of lactoferrin and alginate directly onto individual cells, usi...

The combined effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) treatment on Day 5 (Day 0 = the day of artificial insemination: AI) and intravaginal progesterone device (IVPD) treatment from Day 5 to 19 on the conception rate and plasma sex steroid hormon...

Buffalo milk is a rich source of precursor fatty acids for bioactive compounds and provides an optimal environment for bacterial growth. This study aimed to isolate and select lactic acid bacteria strains with potential to conjugated linoleic acid (C...

This study explores the microbiota and metabolite profile of raw cow’s milk, analyzing the correlation between them and their potential impact on consumer health, focusing on factors like cow’s feeding regimen (conventional vs. grazing),...

The present study explored the combined effects of CC (Opuntia stricta [Haw.] Haw.) and full-fat corn germ (FFCG) as a source of supplementary PUFA on milk fatty acid (FA) composition of dairy goats fed elephant grass (EG). Twelve Saanen goats were u...

This review highlights a paradigm shift in our understanding of hypocalcemia during milk fever by introducing the concept of the Calci-Inflammatory Network. Traditionally viewed as a pathological deficiency necessitating rapid correction (e.g., throu...

The acid whey derived during the production of Greek yoghurt, i.e., yoghurt acid whey (YAW), is considered as environmental pollutant due to its low pH and high lactose content. YAW may be obtained by centrifugation or ultrafiltration or filtration t...

There are few studies on how dairy × beef crossbred calves perform during the pre-weaning phase compared to dairy calves. This observational study evaluated birth weight, average daily gain (ADG), and disease occurrence in Angus × Holstei...
