A simple method was developed for DNA extraction of Mycobacterium bovis in milk and further detection of the bacterium by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Milk previously seeded with M. bovis was used as the starting material. The procedure involved overnight digestion of a milk sample with proteinase K at 56 degrees C and phenol extraction, followed by ethanol precipitation and PCR. The amplification pattern obtained was analyzed with primers BW8-BW9 which amplify a 248 bp in strains of M. bovis. By using the BW8-BW9 primers, 10(3) CFU were detected on silver-stained PAGE gels. The procedure was validated by PCR analysis of milk in tuberculin-positive animals. It is anticipated that this method can be used for routine diagnosis of M. bovis in milk samples.

Article Synopsis
- Cryptosporidium and Giardia are common protozoan parasites affecting the digestive systems of various animals, leading to economic losses in animal breeding and posing public health risks.
- Recent studies identified numerous genotypes of these pathogens, prompting research into their prevalence in water buffaloes in Türkiye, where previous research was limited.
- The study found Cryptosporidium spp. in 3.92% and Giardia duodenalis in 0.98% of water buffalo stool samples, with C. ryanae being the most prevalent species, showing high genetic similarity among samples.

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.

is a globally significant pathogen of cattle associated with a wide range of clinical syndromes, including respiratory disease, mastitis, arthritis, otitis, and reproductive failure. Since its detection in Ireland in 1994, has become a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in Irish cattle. This study aimed to investigate herd-level risk factors associated with seropositivity in replacement dairy heifers, using data from 105 Irish dairy herds.

This cross-sectional herd-level study aimed to determine the occurrence of and risk factors for pathogens associated with neonatal calf diarrhea (NCD) and bovine respiratory disease (BRD) on Ontario dairy farms. From April to August 2022, a convenience sample of 100 dairy farms was visited once. A questionnaire covering farm biosecurity, calving and colostrum management, preweaning nutrition, and housing was administered on-farm.
