Milk fatty acid composition has gained the interest of both manufacturers and consumers during recent years. The present paper aimed to perform an analysis C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA) short chain (SCFA) concentration in cow's milk relation type ration, parity, lactation phase season. Cows' from animals being fed total mixed rations, including corn silage, had higher C16:0 SFA concentrations than those pasture-based rations but...
Transfer of passive immunity (TPI) is key to achieving a good status in newborn calves. The traditional scientific approach examines risk factors for the failure TPI, but benefits an excellent transfer are well recognized, justifying closer examination specific influencing factors. However, there scarce information about conditions related which may differ from those avoiding failure. Therefore, objective this work was detect determining immunity. From April July 2022, 1,041 calves 108...
This study analyses the effect of heat stress (HS) on milk production, composition, and somatic cell count in Holstein cows Galicia. For this purpose, uses temperature humidity index (THI) obtained from official network weather stations data control between 2016 2021. critical THI thresholds were established at = 72, while increased when exceeded 78. fat protein components milk, are lower, 64 63, respectively. The analysis shows that for each unit increase above threshold, up to 0.249 kg...
As with humans, dogs can suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-like (ADHD-like) behaviors naturally and exhibit high levels of hyperactivity/impulsivity problems, making the domestic dog a potential animal model for ADHD. ADHD has very complex pathophysiology in which many neurotransmitters are involved, such as serotonin dopamine. The aim study was to evaluate serum dopamine ADHD-like symptomatology. Fifty-eight were studied, which, thirty-six classified after physical...
During 2004, a survey of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (map) was conducted in 101 randomly selected dairy herds to investigate associations between the infection status herds, different management practices, and possible disease indicators, such as indices mastitis reproductive performance. Data were collected by means questionnaire through personal interviews with farmers veterinarians charge each farm. At same time, blood samples taken from cattle over one year old...
This study was designed to analyse the evolution in use of beef bull semen for dairy cattle insemination and, mainly, assess calving difficulty, gestation length and proportion stillbirths after breeding pure Holsteins or crossbreeding. Data were collected during 2004 2011 552 571 Holstein calvings (457 070 × Holstein, 43 384 Limousine, 32 174 Belgian Blue 19 943 Galician Blonde). The highest compared with crosses followed by Limousine Blonde. Blonde crossbred calves had significantly longer...
The study aimed to analyse serum haptoglobin concentrations by calving number and lactation phase in clinically healthy dairy cattle determine the correlation between milk samples. For this purpose, samples were collected from 228 cows after milking 14 randomly selected herds. Additionally, 80 out of prior blood collection. Both analysed with a commercial ELISA test. effect on mean was examined Kruskal–Wallis/Jonckheere–Terpstra tests. After that, multivariate approach, mixed-effects linear...
Cow routines and behavioral responses are altered substantially following the installation of robot milking. The present study was designed to analyze effect that switching from milking parlor automatic system (AMS) had on culling rate (due various causes) dairy cattle. For this purpose, records causes for were tracked in 23 farms Galicia region (NW Spain). animals these monitored 5 years. study, length time divided into three different stages, as follows: 2 years before a AMS (stage 1), 1st...
Biosecurity is a key measure to reduce and prevent the introduction of diseases farms minimise spread within herd. The aim study was characterise current application biosecurity measures on dairy cattle in Spain along with their bovine viral diarrhoea infectious rhinotracheitis status.
The implementation of biosecurity measures in livestock production systems can be affected by the psychosocial factors its stakeholders, which observed through their knowledge, attitudes and perceptions/practices. In Spain, there are no regulations per se to promote biosecurity. Of all farmers veterinarians have been addressed previous studies, but not belonging specifically government services. This study explores this particular group's perceptions routine north-western north-eastern an...
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a highly infectious disease of cattle caused by herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) that causes considerable economic losses to the dairy and beef industry. This report describes results two surveys in which prevalence serum antibodies against BHV-1 Galicia (NW Spain) was determined. The first performed on entire population region (year 2000) second herds included voluntary livestock health programme, comprises IBR, conducted group farms designated ADSG (Health...
The aim of the present study was to establish a relationship between results obtained using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique for antibodies in blood serum and milk at herd level. For this purpose, 325 samples bulk tank were analyzed with 4 antibody ELISAs from dairy herds prevalence seropositive animals; seroprevalence also evaluated. Data arranged analyze sensitivity test detect high risk active infection (>65% seroprevalence) specificity those very few (<5%) or no...
