Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 has been detected in dairy cattle in the United States, with high viral loads observed in milk from infected animals. This raises public health concerns regarding potential transmission through exp...
A cross-sectional study was carried out on small-scale dairy farms in Paraíba State, Brazil, to evaluate the prevalence and anatomical distribution of integument injuries in grazing dairy cows. Twelve herds (n = 12) were assessed, recording he...
Infrared thermography has been proposed as a non-invasive tool for mastitis detection in dairy ruminants; however, the extent of environmental confounding and diagnostic performance in small ruminants remain poorly characterized. This study evaluated...
Production diseases in dairy cattle impose economic and welfare burdens, yet few studies quantify costs using on-farm cases. This study aimed to estimate costs and lost revenues at the individual-animal level in 10 German dairy farms (average of 592...
The need for new feed ingredients that could reduce methane (CH4) emissions from dairy cattle while maintaining rumen function is essential for sustainable milk production. This study aimed to evaluate the CH4 mitigation potential of selected microal...
This study evaluated key reproductive and productive parameters of the Romanian buffalo reared under temperate-continental conditions. Data collected over a 30-year period (1990–2020) from 310 female buffaloes raised at the Şercaia Buffalo...
Acid-induced coagulation of milk plays an important role in the production of dairy products with high quality. The gel texture is significantly affected by processing conditions such as heat treatment and mineral composition. This study examines the...
The present study evaluated the effects of sugarcane-derived polyphenol nutritional supplement on milk production, milk composition, and somatic cell count (SCC) in lactating Holstein cows. A second objective was to evaluate the quality and stability...
Milk is a highly nutritious food and a cornerstone of the human diet, supplying not only essential macronutrients but also a wide range of bioactive compounds with important functional and health-promoting properties. This study presents the first co...
