This experiment evaluated the effects of bovine appeasing substance (BAS) administration at feedlot entry on growth, temperament, inflammation, response to vaccination, behavior, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of beef heifers. Thirty heifers were weaned and assigned to (d 0): (1) BAS (n = 15; SecureCattle; IRSEA Group) or (2) Saline (n = 15). On d 0, heifers were also vaccinated against respiratory diseases and slaughtered on d 150.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a rumen-derived direct-fed microbial (DFM) product on performance, blood biomarkers, ruminal fermentation, and bacterial abundance in dairy cows during the transition period until 100 DIM. Fifty-six Holstein cows were enrolled in a randomized complete block design from -21 to 100 DIM. Cows were blocked based on expected calving date, parity, and previous lactation milk yield for multiparous or genetic merit for primiparous cows.

Fertility is a crucial aspect of dairy herd efficiency and sustainability. Among factors influencing fertility in dairy cattle, metabolic stress and systemic inflammation of animals are of main relevance, especially in the postpartum stage when ovarian activity begins and cows are inseminated. Our study aimed to infer the associations between milk infrared-predicted blood biomarkers of stress resilience and fertility traits, namely the interval from calving to first service (iCF), days open (DO), and the pregnancy rate at first service (PRF) in a multibreed population of 89,097 dairy cows.

Background/aim: Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, necessitating the development of effective early diagnostic strategies. Despite advancements in imaging and screening technologies, late-stage diagnoses remain common, limiting treatment options and reducing survival rates. Thus, there is a critical need for reliable, minimally invasive biomarkers to improve early detection and patient outcomes.
