The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the use a pressure algometer and an automated rumination monitoring system assess changes in pain sensitivity time response endotoxin-induced clinical mastitis (2) effect nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug meloxicam on time, as well other signs, dairy cattle with mastitis. Clinical was induced 12 primiparous multiparous lactating cows by intramammary infusion 25 µg Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into 1 uninfected quarter....
Ruminants microbial consortium is responsible for ruminal fermentation, a process which converts fibrous feeds unsuitable human consumption into desirable dairy and meat products, begins to establish soon after birth. However, it undergoes significant transition when digestion shifts from the lower intestine fermentation. We hypothesised that delaying high milk diet an exclusively solid food (weaning) would lessen severity of changes in gastrointestinal microbiome during this transition....
