Rumen fluid of cows with subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) has high concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFA). However, the mechanism of SCFA accumulation is unknown. The solute-linked carrier 5a8 (SLC5A8) plays a key role in the transportation and absorption of SCFA in the intestinal...

Mastitis caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most common causes of environmental mastitis in dairy cows, which can impact on the milk quality. In this randomized clinical trial, dairy cattle with naturally acquired acute E. coli mastitis (between January 2014 and December 2016, n =...

The objective of this study was to evaluate in bovines, the average comparison of the infusion speed of two isotonic solutions of commercial brands NaCl Solution 0.9% and Ringer Solution with lactate, through the Intraperitoneal infusion technique. The experiment was conducted at the PlanFelix site ...

Oral electrolyte solutions (OES) are an important supplemental therapy to reestablish hydration and electrolyte balance in scouring calves. The osmolality and the type of alkalinizing agent in OES must be considered when evaluating commercial products and developing treatment protocols. Management...

Amniotic fluid is a rich source of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) have become a new source of stem cells; they have low immunogenicity and are easily harvested. For this reason, they may be useful in clinical tissue engineering. Moreover, AFSCs have...

Clinical metritis, characterized by the presence of an enlarged uterus and abnormal red-brownish foul-smelling vaginal discharge (VD), is a prevalent condition that causes important economic losses to dairy operations. The accurate diagnosis and treatment of this disease can help decrease its...

Cystic ovaries (CO) characterize a disorder frequently found in dairy cattle. However, despite the contributions by several researchers, the mechanism that leads to ovulatory failure has not yet been completely elucidated. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the mRNA expression of bovine...

The study included 15 bovines (2 cows and 13 buffaloes) suffering from caecal dilatation. All the animals were subjected to haematology (Hb, TLC, DLC, PCV and Platelets) and serum biochemistry (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, chloride, lactate, albumin, total protein, total bilirubin,...

Calcium (Ca) levels decrease in blood and cytosol at the time of delivery, altering nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and immune cell activity. In the nervous system, Ca participates in the conduction of stimuli. In the muscular system, contraction decreases causing alterations in...

Almond hulls and citrus pulp have been fed to dairy cows with variable responses for milk production, but no information exists on their effect on enteric methane emissions. This experiment examined the effects of dietary supplementation with either almond hulls or ensiled citrus pulp on the milk...
