Nutritional strategies that improve an animal's resilience to various challenges may animal health and welfare. One such nutrient is niacin which has reduced inflammation in mice, humans, swine; however, niacin's anti-inflammatory effects have not been investigated cattle. Our objective was determine whether rumen-protected (RPN) alters lactating dairy cows' inflammatory response intramammary lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenges, RPN resulted any carry-over effects, repeated LPS result signs...
Immune cells have been observed in many tissues of the mammal including gut, liver, adipose, bone, and neural tissue. Our objective was to demonstrate whether immune are present within stratified rumen epithelium healthy lactating dairy cattle. We hypothesized that would be found tissue total amount leukocytes increase during a ruminal acidosis challenge. conducted 2-phase experiment with 9 rumen-cannulated Holstein cows. During phase 1, cows were fed diet containing 31% NDF, 24% forage 27%...
Corn silage is one of the most common ingredients fed to dairy cattle. Advancement corn genetics has improved nutrient digestibility and cow lactation performance in past. A hybrid with enhanced endogenous α-amylase activity (Enogen, Syngenta Seeds LLC) may improve milk production efficiency when lactating cows. Furthermore, evaluating how Enogen interacts different dietary starch content important because ruminal environment influenced by amount rumen fermentable organic matter consumed. To...
Abstract Background Dairy cows experiencing ketosis after calving suffer greater disease incidence and are at risk of leaving the herd. In vitro administration beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA; primary blood ketone) has inhibitory effects on function bovine leukocytes. BHBA is a ligand HCAR2 activation these receptors promotes an anti-inflammatory response which may be related with immunosuppression observed in transition dairy cattle. The objective this study was to identify test antagonists...

Automated monitoring devices have become increasingly utilized in the dairy industry, especially for or predicting disease status. While multiple automated been developed prediction of clinical mastitis (CM), limitations performance applicability remain. The aims this study were to (1) detect variations reticuloruminal temperature (RRT) relative an experimental intramammary challenge with Streptococcus uberis and (2) evaluate alerts generated automatically based on variation RRT predict...
