Article Synopsis
  • The global dairy industry is grappling with heat stress (HS), impacting milk production and cow health, yet the cellular responses of cows to HS remain unclear.
  • The study analyzed liver biopsies from 9 Holstein dairy cows under heat stress, pair-fed, and thermoneutral conditions, revealing significant reductions in dry matter intake and milk yield in heat-stressed cows.
  • Transcriptomic analysis identified 483 differentially expressed genes, showing downregulation of mitochondrial genes and upregulation of heat shock proteins, indicating HS disrupts mitochondrial function and energy production, providing crucial insights for improving dairy cow welfare and productivity.

To evaluate the effects of heat stress (HS) conditions and dietary organic acid and pure botanical (OA/PB) supplementation on gut permeability and milk production, we enrolled 46 multiparous Holstein cows [208 ± 4.65 dry matter intake (DMI; mean ± SD), 3.0 ± 0.
