Dairy cow health is increasingly threatened by rising temperatures, leading to physiological stress responses, reduced feed intake, and performance losses. A field study observed...

Dietary approaches to mitigate heat stress in dairy cows are promising because the gastrointestinal tract is the initial pathway for many health issues that...

Thermal stress in cows disrupts the delicate balance between heat production and dissipation, leading to a cascade of physiological effects that impact digestion, immunity,...

Heat stress and endotoxin challenges are becoming increasingly critical in modern dairy farming. Rising temperatures not only reduce feed intake and milk quality but...

Traditional strategies for heat stress management often rely on physical cooling methods such as fans, misters, and shade structures. While these are important, they...

The Dairy HERD Initiative, a research collaboration by the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research, Dairy Management Inc. and Zoetis, has called for research...

When the relevance of mycotoxin mitigating strategies in dairy farms was discussed in the past, the focus was on managing aflatoxin B1 in the...

Epigenetic activation begins within the first few days of life. Calves receiving insufficient colostrum or nutritional restriction during critical developmental periods typically underperform later...

It is well known that the most efficient diets are the most profitable. Maximising feed intake and milk production is thus essential to improve...

Cows don’t need protein in their diet—they need amino acids to produce milk and body proteins. Feed them protein, and much of it breaks...
