Article Abstract
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that are important regulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. miRNAs impact the processes of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Thus, the regulation of miRNA expression profiles associated with mastitis will be conducive for its control. In this study, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was administered to the mammary gland of Chinese Holstein cows to construct a bacteria-type mastitis model. Total RNA was isolated from bovine mammary gland tissue samples from the S. aureus-induced mastitis group and controls. miRNAs were analyzed using Solexa sequencing and bioinformatics processing for the experimental group and control group. Two miRNA libraries were constructed respectively. A total of 370 known bovine miRNAs and 341 novel mi RNAs were detected for the S. aureus and 358 known bovine miRNAs and 232 novel miRNAs for control groups. A total of 77 miRNAs in the S. aureus group showed significant differences compared to the control group. GO (Gene Ontology) analysis showed these target genes were involved in the regulation of cells, binding, etc., while KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) analysis showed that these genes were enriched in endocytosis, and olfactory transduction pathways involved in cancer. These results provide an experimental basis to reveal the cause and regulatory mechanism of mastitis and also suggest the potential of miRNAs to serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis of mastitis in dairy cows.

Introduction: are commonly found in intramammary infections associated with bovine subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle, yet their genomic diversity and antimicrobial resistance dynamics remain poorly characterized, particularly in African settings.
Methods: This study presents a comparative genomic analysis of 17 isolates from South Africa, including five newly sequenced bovine mastitis strains and twelve porcine-derived genomes retrieved from GenBank. analysis using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), virulence genes, antibiotic resistance genes and plasmids replicon types were used to characterise these isolates.

Fludioxonil, a fungicide commonly used in agriculture, has been detected in livestock, such as cattle, even though it is primarily intended for use in plants. Unintended exposure to fludioxonil may compromise immune cells, cardiomyocytes, and glioma cells, indicating its potential risk as an environmental hazard. However, research on the detrimental effects of fludioxonil remains scarce, particularly regarding its impact on livestock, which are directly exposed to fludioxonil because of its widespread agricultural use.

Intramammary infections are common in nonlactating dairy cattle and have been shown to disrupt mammary tissue architecture in nonpregnant heifers. However, their effect on mammary development during pregnancy remains unclear. This study assessed the effects of IMI on mammary gland development in pregnant dairy heifers during late gestation.

Escherichia coli, an opportunistic pathogen, induces acute bovine mastitis, leading to severe milk yield reduction, dairy product discard, and substantial economic losses. This not only jeopardizes cow health and farm profitability but also raises food safety concerns, highlighting the need for effective treatments. Lycopene (LYC), a natural carotenoid with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, has shown potential in mitigating inflammatory diseases.

Introduction: Very-low-birthweight (VLBW) infants on pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) have poorer growth compared to infants on fortified mother's milk, suggesting that standard fortification methods for PDHM are inadequate.
Methods: We designed a randomized controlled trial to determine whether an enhanced method of fortification (EF) improved growth in VLBW infants compared to standard fortification (SF). VLBW infants admitted to our tertiary-level neonatal intensive care unit were randomized to receive a bovine powdered human milk fortifier (HMF) added to PDHM (SF), or specially selected high-fat PDHM (fat concentration ≥3.
