Background: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an acute or subacute, highly contagious, and economically important, transboundary disease of small ruminants caused by Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV).
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the seroconversion rate in PPR vaccinated flock of sheep (Sekela district) and the seroprevalence of PPRV in unvaccinated flocks of sheep and goats (Yilmanadensa district).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2022 in two selected districts of West Gojjam zone, Ethiopia.

Subacute rumen acidosis (SARA) is a significant concern in dairy cattle fed grain-rich diets. To elucidate the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, ruminal papilla biopsies are often used. This study aimed to assess how the sampling site along the ruminal papilla influences gene expression profiles in rumen epithelium during SARA.

This study aimed to explore the effects of sodium butyrate on liver metabolism in goats subjected to a high-concentrate diet. We randomly assigned twelve Saanen-lactating goats into two groups, one of which received a high-concentrate diet (concentrate: forage = 60:40, control group), while the other received the same basal diet supplemented with sodium butyrate (SB) (10 g/kg basal diet, SB group). Compared with the control diet, the SB diet considerably increased the milk fat percentage and content ( < 0.
