Article Abstract
Postpartum dairy cows can develop nutritional diarrhea when their diet is abruptly changed for milk production. However, it is unclear whether nutritional diarrhea develops as a result of gut acidosis and/or dysbiosis. This study aimed to uncover changes in the gastrointestinal microbiota and its fermentation parameters in response to nutritional diarrhea in postpartum dairy cows. Rumen and fecal samples were collected from twenty-four postpartum cows fed with the same diet but with different fecal scores: the low-fecal-score (LFS: diarrheic) group and high-fecal-score (HFS: non-diarrheic) group. A microbiota difference was only observed for fecal microbiota, with the relative abundance of and tending ( < 0.10) to be higher in HFS cows compared to LFS cows, and were only detected in HFS cows. The fecal bacterial community in LFS cows had higher robustness ( < 0.05) compared to that in HFS cows, and also had lower negative cohesion (less competitive behaviors) and higher positive cohesion (more cooperative behaviors) ( < 0.05) compared that in to HFS cows. Lower total volatile fatty acids and higher ammonia nitrogen ( < 0.05) were observed in LFS cows' feces compared to HFS cows. The observed shift in fecal bacterial composition, community networks, and metabolites suggests that hindgut dysbiosis could be related to nutritional diarrhea in postpartum cows.

Highland animals have unique hair growth mechanisms to allow them to adapt to harsh living environments. Compared with other species, their hair cycle growth is affected by more environmental factors. Yaks, as highland animals, have obvious periodic hair growth characteristics in a year; this biological process is regulated by numerous proteins, but the specific molecular regulatory mechanism is still unclear.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 60 bacterial isolates from the beef production chain in Gauteng, South Africa, using whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics to determine their genomic characteristics.
- Researchers identified seven sequence types (STs) and six clonal complexes (CCs), revealing that ST204 and CC204 were the most prevalent among the samples.
- The investigation uncovered 44 virulence factors, two antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, and highlighted that certain genes associated with virulence and resistance were present across all isolates, indicating potential therapeutic concerns for these pathogens.

Enormous aggregates of keratinous wastes are produced annually by the poultry and leather industries which cause environmental degradation globally. To combat this issue, microbially synthesized extracellular proteases known as keratinase are used widely which is effective in degrading keratin found in hair and feathers. In the present work, keratinolytic bacteria were isolated from poultry farm soil and feather waste, and various cultural conditions were optimized to provide the highest enzyme production for efficient keratin waste degradation.

Article Synopsis
- Whole-genome sequencing was performed on 110 strains of bacteria isolated from cattle farms, abattoirs, and retail outlets in Gauteng, South Africa, to analyze their genetic makeup.
- The study identified 14 distinct sequence types (STs) and found that all strains carried antimicrobial resistance genes, with 13 specific resistance genes and 23 virulence genes detected across all isolates.
- The findings highlight significant diversity in the genetic profiles based on the sources and types of samples, marking the first genomic characterization of these bacteria in South Africa's beef production system and raising concerns about food safety.
