How complex communities assemble through the animal’s life, and how predictable the process
is remains unexplored. Here, we investigate the forces that drive the assembly of rumen …

We studied the mammary immune response to different mammary pathogenic Escherichia
coli (MPEC) strains in cows, hypothesising that the dynamics of response would differ. E. coli …

The mammary immune and physiological responses to distinct mammary-pathogenic E. coli
(MPEC) strains were studied. One gland in each of ten cows were challenged intra-…

The effectiveness of casein hydrolyzate as mean to improve the welfare of cows induced
into involution was tested in high yielding cows induced into dry-off by abrupt cessation of …

This study establishes an experimental model for subclinical mastitis induced by Gram-positive
(G+) exosecretions of Staphylococcus aureus origin or Gram-negative (G−) endotoxin of …

We examined the effects of dietary n-3 fatty acids on the proteome of peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMC) in transition dairy cows. Forty-two dry cows were divided into three …

The current study measured the influence of milk of subclinically infected glands by different
bacteria species on the cow’s milk. The effects of bacterial infection or inflammation on …

A cow with mastitis has a high somatic cell count (SCC) in its milk. Cow-share-contribution
of somatic cells to the bulk milk tank (BMTSCC) refers to the relative addition made by each …

Subclinical mastitis is the predominant form of mastitis in modern cow herds, and greatly
affects dairy economics. The aim of the present study was to exploit available on-line …

Successful detection of pain in cows could circumscribe the therapeutic window for
treatment before the cow's condition deteriorates further. While severe clinical cases that are …
