However, the effects of other short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as acetate or propionate, has received comparatively less attention, and the consequences of extensive exogenous SCFA infusion remain largely unknown. In our study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation by infusion of three SCFAs to examine their respective roles in regulating the rumen microbiome, metabolism, and epithelium homeostasis.

However, the regulatory influence of upstream circRNAs or miRNAs on its expression in cow mammary gland remains unclear. Herein, we performed high-throughput sequencing to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs in bovine mammary tissue during the late-lactation and the dry period to screen and conducted bioinformatics analysis to identify 420 miRNA/mRNA pairs, including miR-145/CD36.

During this study, isolation of BPIV3 was attempted from 20 PCR-positive swabs by Madin-Darby Bovine Kidney (MDBK) cells. Nine samples showed obvious cytopathic lesions identified as BPIV3 by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing.

However, the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms underlying fat mobilization remain to be elucidated. In this study, the monitoring of rump fat adipocyte sizes disclosed a positive correlation between cell size and fat deposition ability.
