Article Synopsis
- Dairy cattle breeds face recurrent recessive genetic defects that are often undetected due to conventional observation techniques missing various conditions, particularly those without clear symptoms.
- A new data mining framework has been developed to identify these hidden recessive defects in livestock by analyzing genomic data and comparing homozygote numbers in cattle with diverse life histories.
- This research uncovered 33 new genetic loci linked to increased juvenile mortality, offering insights into the genetic causes of inbreeding depression, which can enhance animal welfare and reduce industry losses.
Article Synopsis
- This report highlights a rare case of cutaneous mast cell tumors in an 11-year-old Prim'Holstein cow who had multiple skin nodules for five months.
- Diagnosis was confirmed through cytologic and histologic analyses, along with the detection of KIT expression in the neoplastic mast cells.
- Although the cow showed a partial response to corticosteroids, euthanasia was chosen ultimately, with post-mortem examinations revealing no metastases in key organs.
The aim of this work was to test a surveillance protocol able to detect extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-, cephalosporinase (AmpC)- and carbapenemase (CP)-producing gram-negative bacteria in three conveniently chosen dairy farms with known prior occurrences of ESBL- and CP-producing strains. The protocol was applied monthly for a year. At each visit, 10 healthy lactating dairy cows were rectally swabbed, and raw milk filters (RMFs) were sampled in two of the three farms.

It highlights how this condition remains poorly recognized by cattle production professionals in Europe and the need for communication about vetch-associated diseases.
