Interdevice precision and accuracy are not investigated for precision livestock farming (PLF) technologies, but are fundamental for the use of data in populational metrics and to compare cows' data. This study aimed to validate a behavior monitoring collar (BMC; CowMed, Santa Maria, RS, Brazil) and its interdevice reliability. First, we compared observations with the BMC, and second the interdevice precision and accuracy for rumination, feeding activity, and idle time of lactating dairy cows.

This research was carried out using three electronic databases: Scopus, Pubmed and Web of Science. The main inclusion criteria were: (i) original research, (ii) use of alcohol (ethanol) test as a method to assess milk stability, (iii) measure different levels of feed restriction and (iv) allow access to the raw data of articles.

- The study explores the link between gut microbiota at age 3.5 and BMI changes in early childhood, focusing on both preterm and full-term children from two French birth cohorts.
- Using advanced bacterial sequencing methods, researchers analyzed gut bacteria in 512 children and tracked their BMI from ages 2 to 5.
- Results showed specific gut bacteria and metabolic functions relate to higher or lower BMI z-scores, suggesting that the gut microbiome plays a significant role in childhood obesity regardless of birth status.
Background: Clostridium neonatale was isolated during an outbreak of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in 2002. C. neonatale was validated as a new species within the genus Clostridium sensu stricto in 2018.

Taking advantage of a large collection of independent strains isolated from different spatio-temporal settings, we developed and established a cgMLST scheme for the molecular typing of . Both the cgMLST and cgSNP methods demonstrate comparable discrimination power.
