Article Abstract
The cow’s milk production characteristics are a significant economic indicator in the livestock industry. Serum cytokines such as interleukin-17 (IL-17) may be potential indicators for bovine mastitis concerning the milk somatic cell count (SCC) and somatic cell score (SCS). The current study aims to find previously undiscovered single nucleotide polymorphisms in the bovine (IL-17A) gene and further investigates their associations with milk production traits in Chinese Holstein cows. Twenty Chinese Holstein cows were randomly chosen from six farms in Jiangsu Province, China. The DNA was extracted from selected samples of bloods for PCR amplification Sequence analyses were used to find SNPs in the bovine (IL-17A) gene. The discovered five SNPs are g-1578A>G, g-1835G>A, and g-398T>A in the 5′UTR; g3164T>C and g3409G>C in the exon region. The genotyping of Holstein cows (n = 992) was performed based on Sequenom Mass ARRAY and SNP data. The connection between SNPs, milk production variables, and the somatic cell score was investigated using the least-squares method. Based on the results, SNP g-398T>A had a significant linkage disequilibrium with g3164T>C. SNPs were found to have significant (p < 0.05) correlations with the test-day milk yield. In conclusion, IL-17A affects cow’s milk production traits significantly.

The mammary gland, which primarily develops postnatally, undergoes significant changes during pregnancy and lactation to facilitate milk production. Through the generation and analysis of 480 transcriptomes, we provide the most detailed allelic expression map of the mammary gland, cataloguing cell-type-specific expression from ex-vivo purified cell populations over 10 developmental stages, enabling comparative analysis. The work identifies genes involved in the mammary gland cycle, parental-origin-specific and genetic background-specific expression at cellular and temporal resolution, genes associated with human lactation disorders and breast cancer.

Background: One of the most important points in the treatment of food allergies is the avoidance of the culprit allergen. This study aimed to determine whether the training given by a dietitian to mothers of children with IgE-mediated food allergies increased the habit of reading food labels.
Methods: Mothers of children with IgE-mediated food allergies were trained on reading food labels by a dietitian.

Objectives: Food allergy (FA) is a growing public health concern, imposing significant psychosocial burdens on families and necessitating strict allergen avoidance. The unpredictability of severe reactions is associated with increased anxiety, dietary restrictions, and reduced quality of life.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including 77 mothers of children (0-12 years) with FA and 71 mothers of healthy children.

Metabolic stress and negative energy balance (NEB) are typical undesirable accompanying phenomenon of the post-partum period in dairy cattle. They negatively affect not only milk production but also the reproductive abilities of the cow, and it is therefore desirable to recognize NEB early to prevent its development. Metabolic stress markers are traditionally total cholesterol (tChol), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and triacylglycerols (TAGs).
