The development of a methodology for ruminal and colon tissue biopsying of young Holstein dairy calves
This study helps develop a methodology for biopsying the rumen and colon in ruminant animals. Read
In utero exposure to thermal stress has long-term effects on mammary gland microstructure and function in dairy cattle
Milk yield is significantly lower in first-lactation heifers that experienced fetal heat stress. This study examines how the development of mammary glands are affected by heat stress during gestation. Read
Physically adjusted neutral detergent fiber system for lactating dairy cow rations. II: Development of feeding recommendations
This study by U.S. researchers quantifies the links between neutral detergent fiber (NDF) intake, diet particle size and ruminal pH. Read
Effect of concentrate presentation form on concentrate wastage, eating pattern, and concentrate preference in Holstein bulls fed a finishing high-concentrate diet
This study evaluates the effect of concentrate presentation on ruminant feeding behavior. Read
Current perspectives on eating and rumination activity in dairy cows
In this paper, the authors compiled a comprehensive understanding of the dietary, animal, and management factors that affect eating and ruminating behavior in dairy cows. Read
Weaning age affects growth, feed intake, gastrointestinal development, and behavior in Holstein calves fed an elevated plane of nutrition during the preweaning stage
This study investigates the relationship between the age of weaning and feed intake — and its influence on growth, gastrointestinal development and behavioral indicators in preweaning dairy calves. Read
Development of Ruminal and Fecal Microbiomes Are Affected by Weaning But Not Weaning Strategy in Dairy Calves
This research analyzes the pre- and post-weaning ruminal and fecal microbiomes of Holstein dairy calves exposed to either gradual or abrupt weaning strategies. Read
Effects of a completely pelleted diet on growth performance in Holstein heifers
This study evaluates the effects of pelleting a forage-based diet on rumen health, fiber digestibility and animal performance. Read
Development and physiology of the rumen and the lower gut: Targets for improving gut health
This study takes a closer look at how diet and microbiota can affect growth and influence functions in the intestinal tract. Read
