Antibiotic use is an important component in dairy herd management both to treat bacterial diseases and maximize animal welfare. However, there concern among scientists that antibiotic misuse and/or overuse by farmers might promote the emergence of resistant pathogens. We conducted a cross-sectional web-based questionnaire study with farmers/managers New York, USA evaluate their (i) level about resistance (ii) interest adopting new judicious practices regarding mastitis treatment. A total 118...
Prolonged media exposure after collective crises is widely shown to have adverse effects on people's mental health. Do these show variation across different countries? In the present study, we compared link between related COVID-19 and health-related outcomes in United States Italy, two countries with high levels of early prevalence.
The objectives were to examine the effect of an automated premilking stimulation (APS) by means a high pulsation frequency (300 cycles/min) without reduction vacuum in chamber or claw piece on (1) milking performance, (2) teat tissue condition, and (3) udder health dairy cows. In randomized controlled field study, Holstein cows (n = 427) from 1 commercial farm with schedule 3 times per day assigned treatment control groups over 90-d period. Treatments consisted maximum 80 s (APS80) 99...
Pheromone traps were used to monitor adult populations of the lesser cornstalk borer (Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Zeller) in beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) near Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Pherocon 1C baited with 10 micrograms pheromone rubber septa mast effective when placed at 0.5 m high above ground. Traps setting field, along border within row, or across rows produced comparable captures males. Pie plate sticky more than pherocon m. These two types captured similar quantities males 1.0,...

Nationally in 2014, 80.3% of dairies applied blanket dry-cow therapy (BDCT) and 93% cows were treated with intramammary (IMM) antimicrobials. However, surveys indicate that >80% dry quarters yield negative culture results. Selective (SDCT) describes the identification treatment only cows/quarters infected or at high risk for infection. The purpose this study was to determine if a data-driven algorithm, without use culture, could identify selectively treat "high risk" (those likely...
Abstract Bovine herpes virus 1 (BHV-1) manifests as a latent viral infection putatively affecting bovines. Understanding its effect on cattle herds is critical to maintaining sustainable beef and dairy production systems, well aiding in the development of herd health policies. The primary objective current study was, therefore, use whole-farm bio-economic model evaluate seroprevalence BHV-1 productive economic performance spring calving cow herd. As part wider epidemiological pathogen...
Background: Prolonged media exposure is widely shown to have adverse effects on people’s mental health. Do these show variation across different countries? In the present study, we compared link between and health-related outcomes in United States Italy, two countries with high levels of early COVID-19 prevalence. Method: Participants matched age gender (n = 415) Italy 442) completed assessments exposure, stress, anxiety, worry, other variables August 2020. Results: Media was strongly linked...
