Fermented dairy products such as yogurt, kefir, and traditional cheeses are increasingly consumed worldwide for their nutritional and probiotic properties. Lipidomic profiling provides valuable insights into microbial-driven biochemical changes durin...
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is mainly caused by Mycobacterium bovis, which affects cattle, leading to significant economic losses. In Chile, the vaccination with the M. bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) strain has been implemented in dairy he...
The dairy industry faces challenges from mastitis, which affects milk quality. Somatic Cell Counts (SCCs) are key indicators of udder health, subclinical mastitis presence, and legal thresholds. However, limited research has explored geographic dispa...
Milk products are a diverse group of foods and important sources of essential nutrients, including high-quality proteins, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Among their key quality attributes, texture is particularly critical, as it strongly influe...
Profitable dairy farming requires continuous appraisal and adaptation of production systems in response to changing market and agricultural policy conditions. Geopolitical and climate events have exemplified the exposure of farm incomes to the increa...
This research work evaluated the application of whey-based edible coatings to cheeses. Coatings were prepared with a bioprotective culture (BC) containing Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus alone, or in conjunction with thy...
Doce de leite (DL) is a product originating in South America, particularly in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. The product is widely used for direct consumption and industrial applications and can be added with thickening agents to m...
This pilot study evaluated the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) oil supplementation on growth performance, stress biomarkers, and haematological profiles in dairy calves undergoing the weaning transition. Nineteen Holstein calves were divided into two pa...
Stereotypic behaviors are common in farm animals and often signal poor welfare. Tongue-rolling is the most prevalent stereotypic behavior in cows. In this study, we compared the plasma and milk composition of 16 high-frequency tongue-rolling cows (HT...
Cheese products worldwide have gained protected designation of origin status in many instances, yet this food group also has the highest reported fraud rates. Quesillo Caquetá is the first Colombian cheese to acquire a protected designation of...
Total Mixed Ration (TMR) particle size significantly impacts dairy cow health and productivity. This study investigated the effects of TMR particle size tertiles on rumen pH, dry matter intake (DMI), and milk characteristics in Simmental cows by cont...
The convergence of genomic selection and artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining precision breeding in dairy cattle, enabling earlier, more accurate, and multi-trait selection for health, fertility, climate resilience, and economic efficiency. Thi...
Managing transition cows and preventing diseases related to this period is challenging due to the latter’s multifactorial nature. The aim of this applied observational case study is to illustrate and discuss the different aspects involved and p...
Methane (CH4) is the second largest greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2), and ruminant production is an important source of CH4 emissions. Among the six types of livestock animal species that produce GHGs, cattle (including beef cattle and...
