This meta-analysis of fecal microbiota in lactating Holstein cows identifies a core microbiota and three profiles, highlighting methodological challenges and the need for standardization.

The paper introduces the RUMIGEN EpiChip, a DNA methylation array for cattle, demonstrating its utility in studying phenotypic variation and age prediction through methylation analysis.

This study compares the attachment patterns of H5N1 HPAI HA proteins from clade 1 and 2.3.4.4b to avian and mammalian tissues, finding comparable binding despite antigenic divergence.

This paper investigates a new genetic disorder in Holstein cattle caused by an ITGB7 mutation, showing reduced lifespan, poor growth, and immune-related symptoms in homozygous carriers.

The paper detects recessive genetic defects in cattle using genomic data and life history analysis, identifying 33 new loci linked to juvenile mortality.

This study examines how bovine milk somatic cells respond transcriptomically to two Staphylococcus aureus strains, finding strain-specific gene expression and immune pathway activation patterns.
