The objectives of this study were to determine alterations in the serum metabolites related to amino acid (AA), carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism in transition dairy cows before diagnosis of subclinical mastitis (SCM), during, and after diagnosis of...

Administration of long-acting anthelmintics to pregnant ewes prior to lambing is a common practice in New Zealand. Today, most of these products contain macrocyclic lactone (ML) actives, which because of their lipophilic nature, are detectable in the...

Subclinical mastitis caused by Corynebacterium spp. (as a group and at the species level) was investigated by evaluating contralateral (healthy and infected) mammary quarters for somatic cell count (SCC), milk yield and composition. Selection of cows...
There are multiple reasons for reduced fertility in lactating dairy cows. We hypothesized that one cause of reduced fertility could be the overall size of the reproductive tract, particularly the uterus, given well-established uterine functions in ma...
BACKGROUND: Recently, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been proposed as promising machines for marker-based genomic predictions of complex traits in animal and plant breeding. ANN are universal approximators of complex functions, that can captur...
Immunoglobulins in ruminant mammary secretions play a central role in active immune protection of the mammary gland against infections. Ig are present in both colostrum and milk from cows, and interest in routinely quantifying the Ig content in milk ...
This study develops a comprehensive framework that integrates computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and machine learning (ML) to predict milk flow behavior in lactating breasts. Utilizing CFD and other high-fidelity simulation techniques to tackle fluid...
