Buffalo milk is valued for its rich flavor and high nutrition. However, the lag in genetic research has limited the utilization of buffalo lactation traits. This study found that ESR1 (estrogen receptor alpha) supports cell growth and health, enhances milk fat and protein production, and reduces cell damage. This work offers new insights for breeding and management to improve milk yield and quality, supporting more sustainable dairy production for farmers and consumers globally.

The research was performed on 30 adult Lika Pramenka sheep, aiming to determine the influence of physiological stage on blood metabolic profile. Changes in blood indicators were expressed in heavily pregnant and lactating sheep. This research suggests that studies should include physiological status and feed quality in the determination of the metabolic profile of sheep's blood in order to obtain the best possible information on the herd. 

This study evaluated the genetic diversity of Trakehner horses in comparison with Arabian, Baltic Warmblood, Lithuanian Warmblood, and Zemaitukai populations in Lithuania. Using pedigree and parentage verification data, we showed how breeding practices influenced genetic diversity over time. Despite population decline, Trakehner horses maintained balanced genetic variability. The results support sustainable breeding and conservation strategies.

The content of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) is significantly associated with the flavor, taste, and nutritional value of beef. Breeders desire to increase the UFA content as much as possible. This study provides a comprehensive atlas of lncRNA profiles across six adipose tissue (AT) depots and identifies two lncRNAs with a high correlation with UFA content in buffaloes. These findings offer valuable insights and lncRNAs for the regulation of UFA synthesis in buffaloes.

This study investigated the impact of continuous heat stress and nighttime recovery on the yield of oocytes and the production of embryos in Holstein heifers. Oocyte collection sessions in the same herd under identical care and feeding were categorized using the day’s peak and average heat–humidity load. It was observed that nighttime recovery had a positive effect on oocyte and blastocyst yield. This suggests that nighttime temperatures should be considered when evaluating heat stress.

This study examined how pregnancy type, genotype, and parturition stage affect sheep behavior and labor traits. Twin pregnancies resulted in longer labor and different behavioral patterns compared to singletons, while genotype showed minimal impact. Lying and standing frequency of ewes during the first two stages of parturition was a useful indicator of pregnancy type and labor timing. The results highlight the importance of customized management strategies to improve ewe welfare and lamb survival rates.

Optimizing grazing animal feeding improves livestock efficiency and reduces environmental impacts. Monensin use raises concerns about resistant bacteria and public health. Replacing monensin with capsaicin showed no differences in intake, digestibility, blood parameters, or ruminal fermentation. This suggests that strategic supplementation can enhance productivity and sustainability in livestock farming.

This study examined the effects of subclinical pregnancy toxemia (SPT) on follicular development and evaluated the protective potential of L-carnitine supplementation in ewes. İn this study, our results highlight the importance of adequate nutrition and metabolic support during late gestation, suggesting that L-carnitine supplementation may enhance follicular growth and reproductive performance in ewes with SPT.

This study investigated the effect of organic and inorganic chromium supplementation on growth and nutrient digestibility in chickens raised under chronic heat stress. The results show that 400 ppb organic chromium and 100 ppb inorganic chromium improve growth and protein digestibility. The use of organic chromium has demonstrated greater effectiveness, suggesting that it could be a useful strategy for nutritional management under adverse climatic conditions.
