This study integrates genomic and transcriptomic analyses across lactation stages in dairy cattle to identify temporal genetic variants and molecular mechanisms associated with feed intake.

The study shows cow mammary gland cells can support replication of multiple IAV strains and are susceptible to co-infection with human and avian IAVs, suggesting the udder may act as a site for viral reassortment.

The paper examines the expression of XCR1, CX3CR1, CSF1R, and ADGRE1 on bovine blood dendritic cell and monocyte subsets using flow cytometry and validates findings with bulk RNA-seq data.
