Sire has an important role because they could have more offspring than dam does. The research aims to determine the production performance of Friesian Holstein, estimation of heritability values, estimation of breeding values, and ranking of dairy cattle sires. The objects of the study were the complete record of milk production, lactation length, lactation peak, and dry period length from first to fourth lactation from 2017-2021. This study used the descriptive method. The results of the research showed that productivity performance is great, 1st lactation milk production was 8,029.28±1,112 kg, the lactation length was 321.26±38.48 days, the condition of average peak production was obtained on day 85.35±29.25 with milk production of 32.55±4.16 kg, and dry period length was 51.37±9.33 days. 2nd Lactation milk production was 7,761.66±1,145, the lactation length was 323.66±43.06 days, the condition of average peak production was on day 58.43±21.11 with milk production of 40.79±5.30 kg and the dry period length was 65.10±22.69 days. 3rd lactation milk production 3 was 7,788.92±1,148 kg, the lactation length was 326.64±46.74 days, peak production was on day 61.88 ±22.72 with milk production of 43.62±5.11 kg; the dry period length was 65.00±20.49 days. 4th Lactation milk production was 7,484.18±1,133 kg, lactation length was 323.04±42.23 days, peak production was on day 66.39±24.26 with the milk production of 43.82±5.68, the dry period length was 65.78±21.60 days. The estimated heritability value for milk production, 0.03 ± 0.02, is included in the low category. The ranking of 10 sires that have the potential to increase the genetic based on their estimated breeding value is 595.91 kg (O.S.Elmer-XA), 264.16 kg (M.Z.Merlin.-XA), 252.38 kg (L.Muscadet-XA), 247 .12 kg (C.Toyjet), 239.01 kg (S. Gypsy B), 214.82 kg (WestCoastPldge), 188.14 kg (M.Z.Merlin-ET), 178.56 kg (Brasilia), 166.43 kg (L.JetBowser-XA), 162.06 kg (MRMUDD-XA).

Background: Lack of knowledge regarding zoonotic transmission, prevention and control measures is a potential high risk for the occurrence of zoonotic diseases.

Objective: The study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude and practices of dairy farm participants concerning zoonoses.

Animals: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to August 2022 in and around Sodo town, using a questionnaire among dairy farm participants (n = 123).

The simulation of antral conditions for estimating drug apparent equilibrium solubility after a high-calorie, high-fat meal is challenging. In this study, (1) we measured the apparent equilibrium solubility of two model lipophilic drugs, ketoconazole and danazol, in antral aspirates collected at various time points after a minced high-calorie, high-fat meal and a glass of water 30 min after initiation of meal administration, and we designated one point estimate for ketoconazole and one point estimate for danazol; (2) we evaluated the usefulness of FeSSGF-V2 and FEDGAS pH = 3 in reproducing the two point estimates; (3) we evaluated potential compositions of FeSSGF-V3 that simulate the pH, the buffer capacity toward both less acidic and more acidic values, and the antral lipid and protein contents with easily accessible, commercially available products, and (4) we identified the most useful composition of FeSSGF-V3 for reproducing the two point estimates. For both model drugs, apparent solubility in FeSSGF-V2 and in FEDGAS pH 3 deviated substantially from the corresponding point estimate.

The impact of assisted calving, retained fetal membranes (RFM) and calf sex on milk production in small-scale dairy systems remains unknown. This study evaluated their impact on early lactation milk production and standardized 305-day yield (305MY) using 279 lactation records from 23 farms over 18 months. Variables analyzed included assisted calving, RFM, calf sex, and lactation number, with milk production at 30 days and 305MY as response variables.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare Bayesian predictive models to identify and quantify the key household inputs affecting cattle milk production in Tanzania. A sample of 1,266 households with at least one milked cow was extracted from the National Panel Survey datasets, the data were collected in 2012/2013 (wave 3), 2014/2015 (wave 4), and 2020/2021 (wave 5). Two generalized linear and generalized additive mixed models were fitted using the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation.
