This study investigates how gut and nasal microbiome changes influence respiratory disease severity in calves exposed to pathogens and antibiotics, finding stronger associations with gut microbiota and metabolic functions.

This study investigates host-microbiota interactions during bovine respiratory disease, finding that antimicrobial treatment has a greater impact on microbial communities and metabolic functions than infection alone.

This paper develops an AI-powered acoustic monitoring system to detect coughs in calves, achieving 92% accuracy and enabling early detection of respiratory disease 1-2 days before clinical signs.

This study shows that chicory reduces cyathostomin parasites and alters gut microbiota in horses without affecting host physiology.

This study examines how pasture access affects the transcriptomic profile of horses, finding that resilient individuals show reduced inflammation and increased growth-related gene expression.

This study identifies P48, a surface lipoprotein in Mycoplasma species, as essential for ICE acquisition through nucleoside recognition, challenging the donor-centric view of bacterial conjugation.

The paper identifies biomarkers of resistance to cyathostomin infection in horses by analyzing blood, metabolites, and microbiota over time.

This study investigates gut-mitochondria crosstalk in horses during endurance exercise, identifying mitochondrial gene expression changes linked to butyrate-producing bacteria and potential mechanisms involving PPARγ and the FRX-CREB axis.

This study identifies gut microbiota differences between susceptible and resistant horses infected with strongyles, linking microbial composition to immune responses and infection outcomes.

The paper develops two new SNP arrays for horses, MNEc2M and MNEc670k, and demonstrates their imputation capabilities.
