Article Synopsis
- Bovine laminitis is a significant health issue in dairy and beef farms, leading to welfare and economic challenges, but its underlying metabolic and inflammatory causes are not well understood, complicating diagnostic efforts.
- This study develops a non-invasive veterinary cerumenomic assay using earwax metabolites to effectively identify bovine laminitis through advanced gas chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques.
- The findings highlight specific volatile metabolites, such as p-cresol and formamide, as potential biomarkers for diagnosing bovine laminitis, showcasing promising diagnostic accuracy and paving the way for earlier detection in affected cattle.
