Article Abstract
Background/objectives: The resistance to occult mastitis in dairy cows is a multifaceted trait influenced by a variety of genetic and environmental factors, posing significant challenges to its prevention and treatment.
Methods: In this study, a cohort of 389 Holstein dairy cows was selected for investigation. The genes NOD2, CXCR1, SPP1 and LF, which are implicated in resistance to occult mastitis, were genotyped utilizing the efficient and cost-effective Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) technology. Additionally, the study analyzed the association between various single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the somatic cell score in Holstein dairy cows. Multi-locus penetrance variance analysis (MPVA) analysis was also conducted to assess the resistance of different genotypic combinations to recessive mastitis in dairy cows. A genotyping kit for occult mastitis resistance was developed. Subsequently, 300 Holstein cows were randomly selected to evaluate the accuracy of the kit's classification and resistance detection.
Results: The findings revealed that the most effective genotype combination was SPP1(AA)-CXCR1(CC)-NOD2(CA)-LF(GA). Upon verification, the genotyping kit for recessive mastitis resistance in dairy cows exhibited an accuracy rate of 100% for individual genotyping and 95.90% for resistance detection.
Conclusions: From the perspective of disease resistance genetics, this study lays a foundation for the precise management of dairy cow herds. It enables the early identification and removal of individuals susceptible to subclinical mastitis, thereby improving the overall quality of the cattle population.

Over 1200 heavy feedlot cattle presented with severe tongue lesions during a 7-month interval. Review of the literature and discussions with colleagues revealed previous similar outbreaks had occurred in Canada and the USA, with extensive investigations conducted and no cause identified. In the current outbreak, examination of the environment, feed, water, cattle behavior, and husbandry systems were conducted, as well as diagnostic testing including necropsy, histopathology, bacteriology, virology, and toxicology.

Debilitated calves are often presented with an umbilical remnant infection, septic arthritis, or both. These comorbidities, frequently caused by similar bacteria, must be addressed surgically. In cases of omphalophlebitis where the infection reaches the liver, the clinician generally has 1 option: marsupialization of the vein.

Objective: Our objective was to estimate the seroprevalences of 6 serovars in beef calves at or near fall weaning and assess how concentrations of serovar antibody titers in weaning-age calves varied with herd vaccination programs.
Animals: Serum was collected from 1922 beef calves from 106 herds in the Canadian Cow-Calf Surveillance Network (C3SN).
Procedure: A microscopic agglutination test was used to measure antibody titers for serovars Bratislava, Canicola, Grippotyphosa, Hardjo, Icterohaemorrhagiae, and Pomona.

This experiment evaluated the effects of replacing one-third of corn grain in a finishing diet with rye grain (RG) processed using one of three processing methods. Predominately Angus steers (n = 192, initial shrunk BW = 410 ± 20.9 kg) were blocked by source and pen location and assigned to one of four dietary treatments: dry-rolled corn (DRC), unprocessed RG (UNP), dry-rolled RG (DRR) and hammer-milled RG (HMR).

During disease, there may be increased local demands for zinc (Zn) and vitamin A to support pathogen response. This study evaluates the effects of intranasal Zn and vitamin A treatments on steers experimentally infected with bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogens, bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and , hypothesizing that steers treated with Zn and vitamin A (VA) will have improved recovery to BRD challenge. Forty-eight Angus crossbred steers (333 ± 4.
