Analysis of the fecal microbiome and metabolome in dairy cows with different body condition scores.

Holstein Friesian is the most popular breed of dairy cows worldwide due to its exceptional milk production capabilities. In dairy cow management, the body condition score (BCS) is a useful tool, serving as a reliable indicator of a cow's nutritional status and overall health. It is determined via a subjective visual and tactile assessment of fat cover and muscle mass.

Comparison of lipopolysaccharide-mediated peripheral blood mononuclear cell activation between Brahman and Brahman × Thai native crossbreed cattle.

Background And Aims: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a robust endotoxin known to activate the immune system in cattle. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of LPS on the morphology, cell viability, malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in Brahman and Brahman × Thai native crossbreed cattle.

Materials And Methods: PBMCs were isolated from Brahman and Brahman × Thai native crossbreed cattle and treated with 0, 0.

Molecular prevalence of spp. in cattle and assessment of associated risk factors in Northeast Thailand.

Background And Aim: spp. are common rickettsia species described in ruminant hosts, including cattle. The clinical signs of anaplasmosis range from asymptomatic to mortality.

Molecular identification and characterization of Lumpy skin disease virus emergence from cattle in the northeastern part of Thailand.

Background: Lumpy skin disease (LSD), a disease transmitted by direct and indirect contact with infected cattle, is caused by the Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). The disease affects cattle herds in Africa, Europe, and Asia. The clinical signs of LSD range from mild to the appearance of nodules and lesions in the skin leading to severe symptoms that are sometimes fatal with significant livestock economic losses.
