- Abstract:
- ... The desire to increase profit on dairy farms necessitates consideration of the revenue attainable from the sale of surplus calves for meat production. However, the generation of calves that are expected to excel in efficiency of growth and carcass merit must not be achieved to the detriment of the dairy female and her ability to calve and re-establish pregnancy early postcalving without any compro ...

- Abstract:
- ... Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been widely used to determine various composition traits of many dairy products in the industry. In the last few years, near-infrared (NIR) instruments have become more and more accessible, and now, portable devices can be easily used in the field, allowing the direct measurement of important quality traits. However, the comparison of the predictive performanc ...

- Abstract:
- ... Aflatoxin is a potent carcinogen often found in animal feedstuffs. Although it reportedly impairs development of the preimplantation pig embryo, it is not known whether it adversely affects development of the preimplantation bovine embryo. We conducted 3 experiments to investigate this possibility and determine whether deleterious effects of aflatoxin were caused by increased production of reactiv ...

Milk proteins modulate the transit of contents along different regions, suggesting that they have varying effects on neuromuscular function to alter gastrointestinal motility. We tested the hypothesis that bovine whey and casein milk protein hydrolysates c ...

The objective of our study was to evaluate the effects of altering the dietary ratio of palmitic (C16:0) and oleic (cis-9 C18:1) acids on nutrient digestibility, energy partitioning, and production responses of lactating dairy cows. Cows were blocked by milk yield and assigned to 3 groups (12 cows per group) in a main plot: low (45.2 ± 1.7 kg/d), medium (53.0 ± 1.6 kg/d), and high (60.0 ± 1.9 kg/d ...

Here, a novel thermostable β-galactosidase was cloned and overexpressed from Bacillus coagulans NL01 in Escherichia coli. The phylogenetic trees were constructed using neighbor-joining methods. Phylogeny and amino acid analysis indicated that this enzyme belonged to family 42 of glycoside hydrolases. The optimal pH and te ...

Poor colostrum quality or substandard colostrum management, combined with poor hygiene, can increase disease susceptibility, contributing to elevated mortality rates. This study aimed to assess colostrum and calf management together with subsequent mortality rates in preweaning calves. Forty- ...
