Identification of gene signatures associated with lactation for predicting prognosis and treatment response in breast cancer patients through machine learning.

Scientific reports
As a newly discovered histone modification, abnormal lactation has been found to be present in and contribute to the development of various cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role between lactylation and the prognosis of ...

Use of a priority lane to increase voluntary visits to a milking robot in dairy cows.

Journal of dairy science
Voluntary visits to the milking robot are the basis of automatic milking system functionality. Therefore, problems arise when cows are undermotivated to visit the robot. Cows with reduced competitive abilities, specifically those that are lame or low...

Milk lipidome alterations in first-lactation dairy cows with lameness: A biomarker identification approach using untargeted lipidomics and machine learning.

Journal of dairy science
Lameness, defined as an impaired gait, impacts cow welfare and performance, compromising future health and production, and increasing culling risk. Untargeted milk lipidomics, together with the use of machine learning methods, have shown promise in i...

[Validation of a decision tree for selective dry cow therapy of dairy for a digital expert system].

Tierarztliche Praxis. Ausgabe G, Grosstiere/Nutztiere
In this study, a decision tree derived from scientific literature on selective dry cow therapy (ST), which was developed as a knowledge base for a digital expert system, was evaluated. The decision tree merges algorithmic (based on cell count results...

Providing concentrate feed outside of the milking robot increases feed intake in dairy cows without reducing motivation to visit the robot.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience
Appropriate and adequate feeding is essential to maintaining good health, productivity and welfare of dairy cows. Within automatic milking systems, concentrate feed is offered inside the milking robot, and is thought to play a key role in motivating ...

Characterization of Brain Abnormalities in Lactational Neurodevelopmental Poly I:C Rat Model of Schizophrenia and Depression Using Machine-Learning and Quantitative MRI.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: A recent neurodevelopmental rat model, utilizing lactational exposure to polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidilic acid (Poly I:C) leads to mimics of behavioral phenotypes resembling schizophrenia-like symptoms in male offspring and depression-l...

Comparison of a machine learning model with a conventional rule-based selective dry cow therapy algorithm for detection of intramammary infections.

Journal of dairy science
We trained machine learning models to identify IMI in late-lactation cows at dry-off to guide antibiotic treatment, and compared their performance to a rule-based algorithm that is currently used on dairy farms in the United States. We conducted an o...

Suitability of different machine learning algorithms for the classification of the proportion of grassland-based forages at the herd level using mid-infrared spectral information from routine milk control.

Journal of dairy science
As the call for an international standard for milk from grassland-based production systems continues to grow, so too do the monitoring and evaluation policies surrounding this topic. Individual stipulations by countries and milk producers to market t...

Comparative Analysis of Milking and Behavior Characteristics of Multiparous and Primiparous Cows in Robotic Systems.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias
Robotic milking systems are successful innovations in the development of dairy cattle. The objective of this study was to analyse the milking characteristics and behavior of dairy cows of different calving orders in "milk first" robotic milking syste...

Prediction of likelihood of conception in dairy cows using milk mid-infrared spectra collected before the first insemination and machine learning algorithms.

Journal of dairy science
Accurate and ex-ante prediction of cows' likelihood of conception (LC) based on milk composition information could improve reproduction management on dairy farms. Milk composition is already routinely measured by mid-infrared (MIR) spectra, which are...
