- Abstract:
- ... Six Holstein cows fitted with ruminal cannulas and permanent indwelling catheters in the portal vein, hepatic vein, mesenteric vein, and an artery were used to study the effects of abomasal glucose infusion on splanchnic AA metabolism. The experimental design was a split plot, with cow as the whole plot, treatment as the whole-plot factor and days in milk (DIM) as the subplot factor. Cows were ass ...

- Abstract:
- ... The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary DL-malic acid (MA) supplementation on feed intake, methane (CH₄) emissions, and performance of mid lactation Holstein-Friesian cows at pasture. Twenty-four (6 primiparous and 18 multiparous) mid- to late-lactation cows (206 ± 65 d in milk) grazing a mixed-species grass sward were blocked on parity, days in milk, and pretrial milk y ...

- Abstract:
- ... Forty-six multiparous Holstein cows were used to investigate the effects of sodium sesquicarbonate on dry matter intake, body weight, and production and composition of milk during a 308-d lactation. Diets contained alfalfa silage, corn silage, and concentrate. Composition of diets was changed twice during the 308-d lactation experiment. Diets fed during d 1 to 175 and d 176 to 245 were formulated ...

- Abstract:
- ... Multiparous Alpine does (42) were used to determine how stage of lactation and dietary forage level affect body composition. The feeding and body composition portion of the study had a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement of treatments. Eighteen does were fed a 40% forage diet (40F) and 18 received a diet with 60% forage (60F) for approximately 2, 4, or 6 mo of lactation (59 ± 1.3, 116 ± 1.0, and 184 ± 1.4 ...

- Abstract:
- ... Twice-a-day milking is currently the most frequently used milking schedule in Canadian dairy cattle. However, with an automated milking system (AMS), dairy cows can be milked more frequently. The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for milking frequency and for production traits of cows milked within an AMS. Data were 141,927 daily records of 953 primiparous Holstein cows fr ...

- Abstract:
- ... The association between somatic cell count (SCC) and daily milk yield in different stages of lactation was investigated in cows free of clinical mastitis (CM). Data were recorded between 1989 and 2004 in a research herd, and consisted of weekly test-day (TD) records from 1,155 lactations of Swedish Holstein and Swedish Red cows. The main data set (data set A) containing 36,117 records excluded TD ...

- Abstract:
- ... Lameness is a multifactorial condition with many causes. In this study, cow lifetime records were used to quantify the incidence of specific lameness-causing lesions and investigate factors associated with those lesions. Of primary interest were the effects of seasonality and the effects of thin soles (TS). Thin sole-induced toe ulcers (TSTU) occurring adjacent to the white line in the apical port ...

- Abstract:
- ... Milk oligosaccharides (OS) are not only a source of nutrition for newborns, but also provide numerous important biological functions including the prevention of pathogen binding to the intestinal epithelium and serving as nutritive sources for beneficial bacteria. High-performance mass spectrometry and separation methods were used to evaluate changes of bovine milk oligosaccharides (bMO) in differ ...
