In-line near-infrared analysis of milk coupled with machine learning methods for the daily prediction of blood metabolic profile in dairy cattle.

Scientific reports
Precision livestock farming technologies are used to monitor animal health and welfare parameters continuously and in real time in order to optimize nutrition and productivity and to detect health issues at an early stage. The possibility of predicti...

Cohort profile: Japanese human milk study, a prospective birth cohort: baseline data for lactating women, infants and human milk macronutrients.

BMJ open
PURPOSE: The Japanese Human Milk Study, a longitudinal prospective cohort study, was set up to clarify how maternal health, nutritional status, lifestyle and sociodemographic and economic factors affect breastfeeding practices and human milk composit...

Kefir modulates gut microbiota and reduces DMH-associated colorectal cancer via regulation of intestinal inflammation in adulthood offsprings programmed by neonatal overfeeding.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation, intestinal dysbiosis, and colorectal cancer risk. The anti-cancer effects of kefir are highlighted. Here, lactating Wistar rats were divided into: Normal litter (NL); Kefir normal litter (KNL); Small l...

Feasibility of the use of deep learning classification of teat-end condition in Holstein cattle.

Journal of dairy science
Infections with pathogenic bacteria entering the mammary gland through the teat canal are the most common cause of mastitis in dairy cows; therefore, sustaining the integrity of the teat canal and its adjacent tissues is critical to resist infection....

Predicting pregnancy status from mid-infrared spectroscopy in dairy cow milk using deep learning.

Journal of dairy science
Accurately identifying pregnancy status is imperative for a profitable dairy enterprise. Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy is routinely used to determine fat and protein concentrations in milk samples. Mid-infrared spectra have successfully been used t...

Predicting dairy cattle heat stress using machine learning techniques.

Journal of dairy science
The objectives of the study were to use a heat stress scoring system to evaluate the severity of heat stress on dairy cows using different heat abatement techniques. The scoring system ranged from 1 to 4, where 1 = no heat stress; 2 = mild heat stres...

A comparison of 4 different machine learning algorithms to predict lactoferrin content in bovine milk from mid-infrared spectra.

Journal of dairy science
Lactoferrin (LF) is a glycoprotein naturally present in milk. Its content varies throughout lactation, but also with mastitis; therefore it is a potential additional indicator of udder health beyond somatic cell count. Condequently, there is an inter...

Predicting bovine tuberculosis status of dairy cows from mid-infrared spectral data of milk using deep learning.

Journal of dairy science
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a zoonotic disease in cattle that is transmissible to humans, distributed worldwide, and considered endemic throughout much of England and Wales. Mid-infrared (MIR) analysis of milk is used routinely to predict fat and pr...

Artificial Intelligence Applied to a Robotic Dairy Farm to Model Milk Productivity and Quality based on Cow Data and Daily Environmental Parameters.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Increased global temperatures and climatic anomalies, such as heatwaves, as a product of climate change, are impacting the heat stress levels of farm animals. These impacts could have detrimental effects on the milk quality and productivity of dairy ...

Fate of pirlimycin and antibiotic resistance genes in dairy manure slurries in response to temperature and pH adjustment.

The Science of the total environment
Quantifying the fate of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in response to physicochemical factors during storage of manure slurries will aid in efforts to reduce the spread of resistance when manure is land-applied. The objectives of ...
