Over the past decades, various methods have been proposed to estimate daily milk yields from partial yields. Many of these methods divide milking interval time into varied classes, assuming that the yield correction factors are constant within classes but vary between classes. The DeLorenzo and Wiggans (D-W) method has been widely used in the United States, typically following a 2-step process.

Previous studies have shown that milk citrate predicted by milk mid-infrared (MIR) spectra is strongly affected by a few genomic regions. This study aimed to explore the effect of weighted single-step GBLUP on the accuracy of genomic prediction (GP) for MIR-predicted milk citrate in early-lactation Holstein cows. A total of 134,517 test-day predicted milk citrate collected within the first 50 DIM on 52,198 Holstein cows from the first 5 parities were used.

As one of the most important ruminant breeds, Holstein cattle supply a significant portion of milk and dairy for human consumption, playing a crucial role in agribusiness. The goal of our study was to examine the molecular adaptation of gastrointestinal tissues that facilitate milk synthesis in dairy cattle. DATA DESCRIPTION: We performed RNA-seq analysis on epithelial cells from the rumen, duodenum, and colon at eight different time points: Days 3, 14, 28, 45, 120, 220, and 305 in milk, as well as the dry period.

Composite crosses result from the mating of two or more distinct cattle breeds. Breeding performance may improve rapidly using a well-organized composite breeding system and a clear selection index. The KiwiCross is a popular composite cross in New Zealand, combining Holstein-Friesian (high milk production) and Jersey (high milk fat).

The transition period from late pregnancy to early lactation in dairy cows involves significant metabolic changes to cope with the challenges related to energy metabolism. Muscle tissue, as the largest energy-metabolizing tissue in dairy cows, plays a crucial role in energy metabolism. Furthermore, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to play key roles in various biological events.
